Again I'll say, this isn't the old chase the cold thread. This is the model thread.
It appears my very amateurish eye that whilst there's no deep or lasting cold wintery weather projected, there is at least interesting weather in the next week... gales, rain or snow in the North, randomly mild in places in the Southerly flow... certainly the GEFS ensembles that I can see on the charts pages show my average 2m temperature next week at climatology average... so that's better than a lot of this year that's been way above!
Tell us about what the models actually show for the reliable?
I would estimate that FI is about 19th... so whilst following trends maybe useful, we don't actually know what the weather is going to be next weekend and for Christmas.
Don't write off winter, in fact go outside tomorrow and enjoy the dry relatively mild day instead of panning in the internet models for Narnia. (Which if it happened you'd then might moan about 6 months later on how awful it was because it spoilt Christmas and caused travel and festivity chaos).
