    Be patient the British climate is notorious for let downs. Also anytime of the year is exciting and dont become a cold ramper by looking at the charts 200h+ and thinking its going to snow.

    'thunderstrike', I like the way you put none of that freeze up stuff for a month or more and that it can get boring etc. Their/there hasn't been one in over 20 years at least, your talking like it was recent like a year or two ago. But I agree with you on wanting something months long. Personally I have totally given up on seeing a winter like 95/96 let alone 91, 87 etc terriotory, so I am now someone who wants a mild to very mild winter, becasue at least it's very likely to happen.

    Ok, a bit of a give away as to what we're working on for the site at the moment. But this is a chart from the NCEP CFS (climate forecast system), which runs out to 9 months!!

    White xmas anyone??!!

    post-2-1159731988_thumb.png

    Disclaimer - don't take this chart as gospel - it's a climatic long range model which can't be used for specific forecasts at this range!!!

    Now that we are coming into a reliable timeframe I think BFTP has made a good point here - that won't indeed be far off what happens! :lol: ....

    .....

    cough!

    Amazing chart...sigh!

    Tamara

    Look's like we could be spending Xmas day shovelling snow instead of eating turkey SP.

    Stunning chart especially for E area's.

    In all truth, as I'm sure you all know - looking at specifics on these charts is pointless. But I've been following it for a few days now and this system does seem to maintain trends very well - for instance a southerly tracking jet during december. Time will of course tell as to whether it maintains these right up to the time though..

    Just to even things up a tad, here's the chart for new year - not so good for the cold lovers!

    I may take these chart's with a dose of salt but I appreciate you posting them Paul.

    P.S Please don't post chart's like the New Year one because it upset's the ramping :lol:

    We are nowhere near any "reliable timeframe" in my opinion and the pinch of salt suggested by Eye is a very good idea!

    I don't think anyone is suggesting that chart is showing something within a reliable timeframe - but the cfs is a well known and respected climatic model, so the trend it is presenting certainly shouldn't be written off.

    At least that chart is T+2184, still some time for a change yet :)

    Nevertheless, interesting that a model can go out that far. The irony is that its probably no less accurate than than the GFS at T+200.

    I'll be interested to see this, if nothing else to give an idea of whether the GFS is good at trend-spotting months in advance. I'm aware that it can sometimes pick out trends out to at least T+264, but to see general jet alignments months in advance would be interesting.

    The New Year one looks highly plausible and consistent with previous New Years with the Jet cranking up for yet another mild January.

    That chart does not display the jet cranking up.

    Do you know what time it might start to snow Paul? It's just my parents normally come round Christmas Day and if it snows heavily, they might not make it. Alternatively, I could just tamper with the brakes.

    Any one know when the -15 (850) isotherm last crossed the UK? How about the -20? (if at all). What was the coldest recorded 850hpa temperature we've experienced?

    Has a gander round the chart archives but bit of a needle haystack job!
