how many many many times we go down the garden path do we never learn!! its a bit or a lot of snow for some but even If you do get it will be gone in a day or so .. nothing cold on the horizon .. once again the models have flipped to mild .. shame they never flip to cold! see you next winter for more of the same at best a couple of colder blimps!

The models were showing cold Feb now backing off I mean what's the point

So funny .. you know its going all T#**s up when u see the moan thread is as busy or sometimes more than main thread .. when I come on the forum and see that I know its not looking good -

-
We always do this. .. get over excited to soon I remember years a very similar set up all models showed cold .. and snow then 1 Member showed mild .. .and the flip was insane so remember nothing is set in stone till you actually see it and feel it lol

OK let's be realistic.. a ssw will kind of happen but the pv won't split like 2013 so let's all move on! We might get some northerly outbreaks but these will be fleeting .. we may get some frost but understand we are nxt to the Atlantic which will always bring those west or south west winds and rain .. we live in the uk Winters are becoming warmer .. its so funny to see people want and hope that we will get weather like America and Europe get Winters over .. -

warm-up will do nothing we need a split and even that does not guarantee cold -

okidoke replied to nick sussex's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
So doom and gloom again today .. the jet is so strong at the moment and the monster power vortex .. only hope is a ssw BUT it won't be enough for a split so no point talking about looks like westerly or south westerly for a long while ... -

This morning in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk We have 4oc .. almost warm compared to rest of UK currently.. we have had no snow, yesterday we had an ice day and freezing rain .. but I fear that's it coming to end and zonal or southerly winds coming for rest of month -

OK so I have been watching in the background for a few days seeing all the eye candy and I'm shocked that once again we have been lead down the garden path it's happened before SO many times yet we never learn, cold block won't move. Well it seems mild always wins .. you couldn't make it up -nao and southern England ends up ..meh I remember a few years ago all models bar 1 went for cold and snowy and which one do u think one it was a massive flip.. top tip wait till its 24hrs away to get excited -

Model discussion: Hunt for cold - The start of 2022
okidoke replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
so the hunt goes on! and thats what its going to be a hunt .. nothing is likely to come to anything I think we may get a few cold snaps end of jan and feb but will be mostly mild! I think the best chance to get some snow will be late march /early April as is every year . lets pack up and return Nov 22 -

Model discussion - hunt for cold Christmas period 2021
okidoke replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Well looking at the long rang model from the Met who seemed to have called it most of the winter already looks grim! ;-( Least we forget before Christmas when we saw all those amazing winter charts they stuck to their mild forecast and was right! 9th - 23rd January 2022 There is the potential for a short, settled spell to begin the period, before more changeable, milder condition return later in the month. Feeling colder with a risk of fog during any settled spells. Still the chance for some widely milder conditions too, bringing the risk of heavy rain and strong winds at times I think the polar vortex is so strong and continues to be so with no or little signs of that changing which will only make zonal and southerly winds even more stronger -

Model discussion - hunt for cold - Christmas countdown
okidoke replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
This is what I cant get my head around! the last time we had a decent LONG cold spell (comment when that was as I forget) I remember seeing the assembles with 90% staying cold or very cold and there must have been only 5 members saying mild! now you would of course seeing that as a done deal and what happened the few mild assembles got it right! ... SO I guess what I'm saying maybe just maybe the few that are still showing cold ...might be right Keeping the Christmas spirit alive as the comments are all pretty down today
