-4.1 , thats very cold for us will probably drop even more

Shame about the quality , can you go back and do some Camera shots? , it looks like an awesome area for a shoot

SUNDAY DEC 28 8 AM YOU WANT IT, YOUR GOING TO GET IT. The cold that has been a mainstay of the southern european pattern the past couple of weeks is not the cold I am talking about that IS COMING The major block over Scandinavia will back west the next couple of weeks and true arctic air masses will spread south into central Europe then back west with time. The 2-3 week period that comes in the wake of the warmth that is occuring now because of the block over the north, will more than justify the idea that one heck of cold period is coming up in January. In the end my mistake will be that apparently I did not make clear the idea that this was a forecast from a couple of weeks out to let you know, as apparently it was , in many minds, supposed to start instantly from the date of post over a week ago. But I will watch the continents weather and see how it turns out. In the end we got off to the fast start centered on November and early December, and we will find that that when we total things up, give or take a week, the first half of winter had the wildest weather not the second half, which should grow tranquil with the hope of an early spring for most of the continent. However what is coming in front of us for the continent as a whole, should be the nastiest in recent memory. To all that are emailing me, lets see how this plays out before any more emails. I am confident that by mid Jan, most of you will see my point. I will have the weather try to deliver it for you. ciao for now **** B) :lol:

But we don't even need that! One is wrong and so will the significant storm be , his accuracy so far is not very good. As for the rest of the forecast don't know

High pressure over the north of UK will slip south later – possibly collapsing late in the period. So dry and cold with an increasing risk of frost and then fog patches. Saturday 27 December 2008: A moderate northeasterly. Sunny spells but some cloud. Max 3C (37F) after a Min of MS 02C (28F). Sunday 28th: Moderate easterlies. Very similar. Still dry with some sunshine after a frost. Max 3C. Monday 29th: Moderate easterly winds. Still little change. Dry and cold with sunny spells. Ma 3C. Tuesday 30th: A gentle southeasterly. Still dry and often sunny, after patchy frost and fog. Max 4C (39F). Wednesday 31st: Light winds. Dry with sunny spells after night fog and frost patches. Max 4C. Forecast to 4th: Little change on the whole. So staying cool and dry until Sunday 4th then a 60% risk of sleet or even snow. Max Fri: 4.5C (40.1F). Min Thurs/Fri; 0.4C (32.7F). Lowest Humidity Fri: 77%.

Well Ian's forecasts are the same every year just the dates changed around

Well this is wrong , we have a strong easterly developing

Excellent write up! B)

http://www.rutnet.co.uk/pp/gold/viewgold.asp?id=7 Has been updated , Paul B is pretty much a mild person every year mild forecasted even when experiencing a cold snap... Thing is though this time temps have been edited to be much lower than what was forecasted a few days ago by Paul B

That last shot is really good B)

What models does weatheronline use? , gfs?

Latest thoughts from Joe B. Source: AccuWeather TUESDAY, DEC. 23 2 A.M. UPDATE ON COMING COLD WAVE. 'The period we are looking at here has not yet started. The block is forming over Scandinavia, and this will back toward Greenland and as it does, the pattern will reverse so we are looking at much colder weather to end this month and carry well into January. On the table are strong low-level east winds into England with snow there, but the evolution of this is still occurring, and in fact it's warm now. However, the reason for the post is to say the most impressive two- to four-week cold period of any recent winter for the continent on the whole is on the way. Patience, grasshopper, patience.'

Will Hand on uk sci weather. Mods told me to post it here

http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/1217/morningir...464168,null,209 Need real player alternative , will it be a white christmas? No but look ahead B)

Ok then , we will have mild spells with cold snaps in between and on the 20th jan the sun will come up and go down early evening...

Do you think we will ever find the holy grail of forecasting methods that will predict the upcoming season? [ ]

LoL it's far easier to predict a mild winter than it is a cold one! Make up your mind , this year has been completely different than many years before it!. For example the snow down south and huge hail storm in the south west. Also like the words used blowtorch Pattern , christmas pudding used more than once. Anyhoo good luck on this forecast
