  1. frosty ground I think he means it was cut way shorter than it initially looked to be.
  2. Even in to deep FI, it’s like someone at NOAA has turned on the ‘do not disrupt lows’ switch on the GFS server.
  3. Ice Day Don’t forget the golden rule is that whatever run is worst for UK cold is the one that verifies!
  4. Battleground Snow Up to 2cm on lower ground, then turning to rain. Doesn't sound too disruptive unfortunately.
  5. GFS - the winter killer run. Just wasting everyone’s time if that synoptic sets up.
  6. The disappointing downgrades (from the northern blocking nirvana charts) continue this morning. The usual suspects up north should get some snow, but for us in the south the odds are shortening on a largely snowless winter once again (probably get some in March though).
  7. WINTRY WALES behave! This is nowhere near resolved yet.
  8. Well this mornings runs are a kick in the nuts. Back to hibernation…
  9. Many scandi highs of the past occurred during +ve NAO phase.
  10. Am I the only saddo that finds the formation of a Scandi high really fascinating? It’s highly satisfying watching the ridges shoot up along with the discontinuous trough disruption out west.
  11. I haven’t had one since March! Hopefully it’s being noticed that snow is more widespread than the models initially progged for northern areas (as is always the way)….
  12. It seems to me that there’s ’always an excuse’ for when a cold spell flops that somehow explains away the teleconnections?
  13. Isn’t it an issue that the zonal winds then immediately shoot up to far higher than they are even now?
  14. Can’t help thinking this is once again due to the US having an epic cold spell that fires up the jet more than expected.
  15. But the runs all start to fall apart at about the 72 hour mark. This isn’t turning around now. People just need to use this as a learning exercise - we have a lot to learn.
  16. Pretty remarkable collapse this morning - all the models so far reduce the cold spell to a 2/3 day toppler then the raging westerlies and flooding are back. Pathetic
  17. I do find the funereal atmosphere towards the cold spell quite amusing when it hasn’t even started yet! I’m sure a good number of you will have some pleasant surprises this week.
