If you're going to reply to bb62-63 please don't quote the whole post! But as others have said a brilliant post yet again, makes everything a lot easier to understand.

I'm not going to argue with you. Take yourself to the named storm threads and read through the information provided. There is zero consistency when it comes to named storms. They've named them when it is just a simple kink in the isobars, and they've not named them when amber warnings have been issued.
re winds aren't going to be bad. That's not true, 50mph inland is likely to cause some disruption. Trees falling due to wet ground in places etc. In fact, the wind forecast for here, tonight, are the strongest forecast so far this year.
Not trying to argue with you mp and i fully agree with you about the inconsistencies with the naming of these storms. It's just a complete mess how they're handling it atm.

Your previous post implies that the MetOffice don't name a storm because the amber warning is for rain.
From the MetOffice:-
Further information can be found here
I never said they don't name a storm because of an amber warning for rain, just making a point that they don't always name a storm because of an amber warning and rightly so seeing as the winds aren't going to be that bad.

That's irrelevant. The MetOffice will name a deep area of low pressure whether it brings rain, snow or gales, if it meets a certain criteria. Although, that criteria seems to have gotten lost in translation.
They haven't named it though have they and i wouldn't really call it a deep low tbh, it's just your standard run of the mill atlantic depression.

A very blocked 6z from the p, wouldnt surprise me if the 12z normal GFS goes backed to a more blocked regime, the overreaction on single OP runs is laughable on here, you'd think we were staring down the barrel of rampant zonality! Nobody is claiming a big freeze just yet, how can people be disappointed at heights trying to build to our NE repeatedly and further attacks on the PV is baffling to me!
What's even more laughable is certain people on here taking every single meto update as gospel, of course the updates are going to change from time to time but come on it could be a lot worse!

Surprised its not been named given the amber warning now out. I thought that was one of the criteria.
The amber warning is for rain, not wind.

And now several others have joined in unofficially naming it. There’s even an amber warning now.
Yep an amber warning for rain for south west Wales, thankfully i'm in south east wales and live on a big hill

Today's update is a typical positive NAO Atlantic driven weather. Huge change! We can only hope that they will be wrong.
Very misleading as the update doesn't suggest this whatsoever.

Really??!!
Snow on Northern hills in December is absolutely normal winter weather. Nowt unusual about it and imho does NOT indicate southerly tracking LP systems.
The update says snow is possible, especially over northern hills, so they're not ruling out snow down south or down to low levels either are they. Just because they haven't mentioned snow for the south doesn't mean it's a downgrade.

We`ve got these mild SSWlys for awhile I doubt.
First half to 2/3 of November is usually mild and dull.
Very similar to November 2009, let's hope we can get a winter like 09-10 to match!

I will also add, I hate the idea of 2 seperate threads, its been tried before and they never work as one thread becomes isolated and obviously it would'nt be this one!
If you don't like what's being posted in here you could always use the other thread instead you know? it won't be so isolated then will it. Anyway I see plenty of posts in the other thread on a daily basis, so tbh i'm not sure what your on about.

I think its because its different from what the Beeb are going for
Good point but to be honest the beeb have become quite useless since they dropped the meto, I'm not sure why people still use them. The met office youtube channel is a lot better, they also do the week ahead and 10 day forecasts on there. https://m.youtube.com/user/TheMetOffice

Must admit i'm having serious doubts about these updates now.
Why? They're the experts and have access to things that we don't, the lack of patience on this forum is astonishing!

Or are we all required to stand in line in party uniform and sing the praises of the dear cold leaders?
You know what he means i'm not sure why you feel it's necessary to have a sly dig at the way he spelt it, this thread was made to discuss any cold potential not to talk about mild weather, if you want to talk about any future mild weather then use the other thread.

There's a chance of a slider low on Tuesday it could be very similar to the one we had last December, bring it on!

Cornwall will have infrequent snow but it can get monster falls against embedded falls even if they melt quickly.
I would say the least snow location may be somewhere like Brighton, very hard to get a set up that even produces snow let alone talk about amounts.
Yeah true especially if they get a channel low but they've become quite rare, still not sure why he seems to think his location is the least snowiest though.
