  1. with the model divergence this morning i dont envy whoever is presenting the weekly outlook on the beeb in a short while. look out for the word 'uncertainty', a forecasters favourite in these situations. personally i'm backing the ecm as the forum horse
  2. i tend to agree. sadly the festive season ends in about 55 mins as far as christmas in concerned. i cant make headway of the the charts at the moment, but thomasz's call for blizzards on radio 4 this morning may be refined tomorrow. we shall see
  3. seasons greetings. great charts. i noticed carol k mentioned very cold next week with snow on her 6.57 forecast
  4. wow to the ecm. puts me in mind to go for a ski weekend in scotland in early jan if there remains consistency in further runs. interesting what nick says about dodgy runs over christmas due to lack of data. i remember that happening last year i think. lots to look forward to after this mildish interlude
  5. just had a very heavy spell of snow in london. settled on wet ground
  6. sort of turning to snow now. waste of time because its so wet. ice is definitely the story as skies clear tonight
  7. as canadiancoops says a very interesting day/night for the southeast. then it's scotland's turn, maybe
  8. well it looks darn good for the southeast. as usual the north downs are in for the biggest totals. beyond that well i think the models are struggling.
  9. yeah i recorded -23 that year in rural oxfordshire. so cold going to school my nose froze
  10. glad its absolutely zero and not absolute zero. that could cause problems!!!! above zero in london, but then what do you expect with the urban radiator on permenantly
  11. No sign of any gritting round here. maybe a little early. no doubt GMTV are gearing up for their predicable annual gritting outside broadcast
  12. nearly 800 users on NW! lovely upgrade on the 12z. nice one gfs
  13. I was wondering, when does insignificant snow become significant? i guess in london its about a millimetre, and in the highlands half a foot!!
  14. just had a gander at the pub run. brings christmas back to whiteish for the east coast, but a ton of chopping and changing to get through. as i'm having to travel i personally could do without a white christmas. this week is fine though!
  15. interesting gfs. good looking in the reliable, a bit odd in the unreliable. those two atlantic lows spinning around and trying to spoil christmas day look very odd. in the short term, plenty of cold air, and a forecasters nightmare. fun though. long live the greenie heights. have a great saturday eve folks. just poured my first glass
  16. at last the weather has gone back to the early eighties. gfs charts suspiciously similar to december 1981. get those legwarmers out, forget the fashion police
  17. it does still look like that the south east steals the initial prize, but what happens next is anyone's guess. with that greenie block it's all to play for in the uk
  18. looks like the "warm-up" shot of cold clips kent and heads in the direction of nick sussex and our other friends across the manche on the 12z.
  19. suggestion. why don't we all move to finland, then we wouldn't have to heave through all this speculative stress that involves snow. having said that, i think this spell will deliver, initially to southern and eastern areas, what i'm not convinced by is the secondary evolution from the north. don't you sometimes wish the models only went out to 48 hrs! then it would be so much more peaceful
  20. lol. so anticipated im opening the wine and ordering a pizza!!! trust the gfs, i dont think it will back down. if it does the wine will take the edge off the dissapointment at least
  21. mr cockroft alludes to a cold spell on the bbc london lunchtime output. talking only as sleet at this stage
  22. I totally concur. these are some of the best charts for years, and so early in the season. we are spoilt by the internet, or maybe just stressed. in dec 1981 it just happened, admittedly from the north and was more of a surprise than anything else. anyway, decent models, mostly agreeing, now its all in the detail
  23. it is ironic that with i think 192 countries lined up to discuss global warming in denmark, we are poised for a dose of real cold in europe
