Thanks

[Model Output Discussion - the cold has arrived]

All I’ll say is with the amount the models have chopped and changed over the last few days nothing is nailed down for a fact. All we can do is cross our fingers and hope for better charts when it comes to +48

Icon is quite active with the front that moves in Saturday night. Few cms widely I would imagine with it coming in after dark.

Edit: added the icon EU charts for corresponding timeframe. Snow falling v snow depth

 

I’ve noticed a few different times that there seems to be a Great Wall that stops the precipitation from carrying over Ireland and stops at coasts, is this an error within the models or due to some weather phenomena I’m not familiar with? Thanks in advance

[Model output discussion - January cold spell ending, what next?]

I’m due to move back to Barcelona office on the 19th, if I was there at the minute I could have travelled to Madrid for some record snowfalls . Judging by the ECM mean tonight I may have to delay my return as I could stand missing out on two major snow events. The real cold (if it ever shows it’s face) looks likely to come round 20th.. allowing for a few blips!! Let’s keep the fingers, toes and wives crossed that the trend keeps going

Sorry if it’s not the right place but can someone briefly explain the difference between a wedge and a ridge? (Other than wedges make sledges )

If you think UKMO/ECM leads the way, “like” this...

if you think GFS leads the way, “thanks” this...

Somewhere in between the two? “Happy new year” this...

 

im not sure polls are allowed so apologies if they’re not!!! But it would nice to see people’s thoughts on going forward with out the usual sniping and tearing down at others suggestion..

 

In my opinion the models have not got a clue what’s going on and the volatility is only like to increase!! before it decreases!! around T120+   all part of the fun tho isn’t it?? Oh and happy new year!!

Classic case of counting their chickens before they’re hatched!! Including me too.. sort of.. it’s hard not to get carried away with the output that was being shown but no doubt further chops and changes to be expected (hopefully).

I’m in NI hopefully the trend continues, for whatever reason the snow is usually best out west and we don’t get much in Belfast... Happy Christmas!!

[Model output discussion - Closing in on Christmas]

I havnt got time to read all 11 pages.. is the summary for a snow lover good or bad today?

[Model output discussion - Closing in on Christmas]

Had a few drinks and I must say, loving the charts at the minute, long may they continue (without any wobbles)

[Model Output Discussion - Colder spell ending, what's to follow?]

Hi everyone, I’m very much new to this with just being a fly on the wall for the past 2/3 winter seasons. I’m learning slowly and surely though as the time goes on. One thought of mine re: the models. They do seem to be changing almost everyday now, we just have to hope that ridge gets linked with the artic high and pray for a bit of luck after that

Welcome to Netweather. I don't know which resort in Bulgaria you are have in mind, but looking at Borovets it's clear to see the shortage of snow at the moment. But with a base in place on the pistes and maybe up to 20cms of new snowfall (mid mountain) and low temps from Sunday evening on, I'd be very hopeful that the Bulgarian resorts will be able to start up early next week. Hope you have a great time.

Thanks! It is Borovets.. fingers crossed they get opened soon. A week today until we go! 
 

update: they are beginning to open on Sunday with snowfall expected to start accumulating from then
