Dennis on the face of it a decent looking chart,
. But the decent 850s seem to be eroded esp to the east/north/ northwest. Every thing atm points to nothing imo to anything interesting cold/wintry.

Methuselah probably not but the fact is how can a six week have merit if its updated every day

Allseasons-Si It rarely comes anywhere near the mark only in exceptional occasions. The forecast is virtually re issued every day with small tweets. If it had foundation why is it issued every day instead of every month if it has credance?

The comment ssw has been used a lot this winter. From an early cold spell in December it ran into jan ie eqbo etc. Its at a stage now where there is nothing in regard to a ssw could in effect do anything until March? Why is it when the models look poor people post 10+charts looking for cold. When its showing bang average fi is 7 days? I love cold weather and synoptics but there is nothing to suggest anything unusual for febuary heading into march imo

nick sussex yes nick its been a hard slog esp for the members on here who put a lot of time and effort on the thread. A lot of great background signals, synoptics "at times" but the heighths etc to the south seem to be an insipid winter feature.

Looking across most of the threads i think fatigue and poor output and weather as caused a lot of disappointment this winter. Early signs were looking good but things have for most been bang average. Imo i cant see anything even with a ssw. Its currently snowing heavy here but will be gone this evening. Heres hoping for one last hurrah in feb

So after looking at the mo today and giving an average assessment imo there is nothing unusual or any real lead on where the nhp is heading. "low gate" aside i cant see any strong signal for any very cold/extended or indeed wintry weather. Im not sure looking at the strat at 10pha is gaining traction. Hopefully theres an uptick in any blocking after a transient ridge but speculation can be a downfall without the subsequent data

frosty ground hi. are you a moderator on here frosty ground, tia

nick sussex tbh nick its just bog standard weather ie uk over the last few winters etc.

Good grief 50/70 mile southward corrections on a low due on Thursday causing discussion
. Is it that critical in regard to the mo??

Has anyone lost faith in background signals a bit? I mean understand favourable signals can increase our chances of cold but too much credit is given to them. The amount of times they amount to S.F.A and then there’s excuses while it didn’t materialise and you have to factor in how small we are macro vs micro etc so why not factor that in to begin with then with your ramping predictions instead of after when it goes its up. Seems to be almost an annual occurrence. I don’t think I’ve ever seen “ I was wrong” rinse repeat
You do make some good points. Growing up from the 60s and witnessing some great wintry periods i guess forecasting then was shorterm. Nowadays ssw, easterly qbo etc give more direction in theory. Getting that into a reliable time frame is still a roll of the dice imo

Morning. Looking at the gfs at 10pha the tpv looks quite weak. Not my field bit why isnt the mo showing a weaker pv?? Tia
