  1. Slight concern over the storm later in the week as I am travelling from West Yorkshire to Scotland in the early hours of Saturday morning - up the A1 and then either across the A66 or straight up the A1 at Scotch Corner. Maybe the worst of the weather will have passed by then. It's not the wind I'm worried about so much but the snow. Will have to really keep my eye on the forecast over the next couple of days.
  2. We don't seem to have had any Atlantic attacks for about 2 years! Very unusual period of weather in the grand scheme of things.
  3. If we can’t get snow, this high pressure spell suits me fine. Settled, cool/cold, a few pea soupers thrown in for good measure. That’s not too bad, and for me better than wind and rain. Let’s see how long this GFS easterly teases us. Could be the start of another chase….
  4. Well, I’ve been watching the models runs as always, and based on this weekend’s output, what can I say, an absolute bore fest coming up in the next week to 10 days! Lets hope in the absence of any real action that we can at least get some pleasant sunny days and make use of the daylight hours outdoors without being wet or cold.
  5. And before we all know it, the chase is back on! This thread is going to start getting busier, we'll all be over analysing the charts. There's going to be ups and downs, joy and despair. Bring the cold hunt back on!
  6. I agree - however I am sure the next chase won't be far around the corner and we can all do this all again - bring it on!!
  7. At least it's not at T+384 as is often the case so that's a positive in my book!!
  8. What is our benchmark for this in the past? It’s not a Feb ‘91 or Jan ‘87 set up. What can we compare it to and what happened then?
  9. Golden rule of model watching is when there is a cold spell or snow possible, NEVER mention it to your family. It’s bound to go wrong if you do that!
  10. Totally agree - how people can complain at this run I can't understand, it's one of the best model runs I've ever seen!
  11. The charts are dated 25th and 26th December. Has anyone been expecting anything of note before then? I’ve not seen anyone expecting any particularly cold or snowy on or before 24th Dec.
  12. You can’t be gutted if you haven’t seen the 12z ens yet - they might be better!
  13. You can make a judgement by all the posts in this thread. One person’s summary will be different to another’s. View the bigger picture and take in everyone’s views and come up with your own assessment. There are no right or wrong answers.
  14. That graph surely isn't unexpected though when you look at some of the model output today. It doesn't mean rain, and it doesn't tell us the track of any lows or whether there is a block to the north. They could go under and we might get what most of us want (snow). It's not necessarily a concern - it depends which way you're looking at it.
  15. For a while now we've been looking at a boring UK high. Cool, not cold - settled and either grey or sunny - ultimately boring weather. If you are looking for snow and a chance of an Easterly, then we need a shake up - the Atlantic is OK as long as it undercuts the block. It might work for us, it might not, but to me it's preferable than just sitting under a high with boring weather. Bring it on I say!
  16. That the same chart from this tweet I quoted earlier, complete with red underline.
  17. Yes this was quite sobering, but I am not sure what to make of it, as Tamara yesterday suggested "a lengthy period of blocking is very likely for quite some time". Furthermore, I read the two Tweets below this morning and I don't know what to think!! Many conflicting signals!!
  18. Hi mate. Just wondered what all the @ signs are intended to highlight in your posts?
  19. I'm so glad you said "Greenland/Iceland" rather than the more annoying 'Griceland'...!
