GP went for this in the winter forcast, we just missed out in dec. and now on the doorstep of a significant event, brilliant, hats off to GP, go back and review, even if it rains snows IMBY many are going to be happy.
Thanks
All the NWP's are showing it getting colder in the next 5 days, the MO are saying this with the chance of some wintry weather next weekend, it was always after this the chance of a real cold spell would materialise. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence! Keep looking for the cold.
Totally agree "Lomond" Just look at the spread on the (midlands) ens, nothing past D5/6 is anywhere near cast in stone...cold or mild await ecm ens with int.
Looking at the latest output, after a great start with lots of snow, skiing in the alps xmas time looks terrible, with freezing levels above 3000m (west) back in the UK some small chances of a Northerly toppler in Fi
Thanks Ian
When the "Beast from the East" was almost banked some of ensembles started to go "south" we dont HAVE TO HAVE the right teleconnective synoptics to create a cold snap, just not the 2009/10 & 2010 winters which is unlikely. The potential towards the end of the month still exists
