  1. Looking at the GFS and the Day 10 period, a northerly has been modeled to go into Western europe (To our East) over the last two days this has been moved back west, The Control show this backed up even more and the Northerly affecting the UK (if only for a day)>

    This is pretty reminiscent of how the current cold spell unfolded in the models, with the pattern backing up and the Atlantic being over played. It was only 3 weeks ago people where bemoaning the end of December before the forecast Zonal period would end (And we know how that turned out).

    Might go to the bookies and put a bet on a white Christmas.....

    It appears the GEFS 6z mean could have over egged the high pressure Influence next week. It sounds more generally unsettled (zonal) with spells of wet and windy weather, especially further NW...that applies to the christmas / new year period too with a mixture of mild / cold zonality.

    What are you basing that on Frosty? You are referring to the Met Office forecast I see, I'm  slight confused on what data you are validating one Forecast other the other considering the time period in question has yet to happen? I am even more confused when you consider only a few updates ago the Mets outlook as well as the other general Model output has been for a mixture of Cold/Mild output.

  3. So we find ourselves back to where we was a few weeks ago when the models then as now started to show a westerly regime and some show some pretty mild weather, of course this is leading to a few posters to once again start worrying about the next 4 weeks, soon to be 6 weeks then Winter will be over ETC. I suspect we will see a repeat of what we have just had.

    Snow a possibility for some Wednesday night after a brief warm up during wednesday and then another northerly shot there after.

    Still would not rule out some snow for those further inland tonight as the winds drop off and natural cooling takes places, its just a question whether the showers die out and can penetrate far enough inland.

    As for tomorrow's event, just wait and see, i still be surprised if places like Manchester and Merseyside miss out. I think anyone north of Preston are out of it now but still some time for some wiggle room in this imo.

    Manchester will miss out if the wind is south of east.... inteestingly for my locations the wind is from the east.

    It's radar watching time now.... I've seen fronts move way north and south of forecast so anything could happen.

    Snowing now... lightly but gonna get heavy

    MWIS: Peak District forecast for tomorrow..

    Snow, widely incessant, giving whiteout, particularly Peak District.

    Peak District and north to Skipton: Incessant snow, whiteout or near whiteout; snow lying into valleys. Yorkshire Dales NP: Ranging from intermittent snow, not heavy, north of about Ingleborough area to constant, sometimes heavy snow progressively southwards. Near whiteout.

    Isn't Ingleborough quite far north....?

    I am not upset frosty, I could see this happening already from yesterday when everything started adjusting southwards. I posted the precipitation charts to back up what I was saying. So no surprises here.

    If you want to take their warnings as a gospel go ahead and do it. 

    They don't update warning every two minutes because that would lessen the impact. You do release we are still under a yellow warning right?

    I think the problem is that they release warnings at the drop of a hat. Hard to take them seriously anymore.

    Sorry but posts like this are just nonsense..... the met has to warn that disruptive weather is possible. Local authorities need time to prep for major events and would rather be prepared than trying to scramble once the snow falls.

    If your upset i suggest you take a bit of time away from the forum. It' no fun reading the constant moaning.
