Model Mayhem - Moan, Ramp, Go Nuts

very good

cant chat anymore, got to watch my celtic friends beat you lot from across the border.

some hope

Just a moan from me. The poster "Gavin" must know full well that 99% of the people on the model output thread are hunting for cold.

Yet he posts mild charts and puts a smiley on the end. Is he trying to wind people up with the smiley or what? It's working on me.

That is all.

I'm not sure whats worse,his total obsession with HP, or his lack of punctuation lol.

Hmmm, looking at some the more recent runs maybe I was bit too premature in calling off winter a couple days back when it looked everything had fallen apart or was just about to, still won't buy it until we starting getting some proper consistency on this mind.

Yes, if only the UK climate was just 5c colder on average (+2c becomes -3c) then all the marginal precipitation events would all have been powder snow and ice days.

It wouldn't be to bad in summer either with 28c becoming 23c far more comfortable.

Dream on!

We didn't see snow lay for well over 20 years down here .then bang we had it two years in a row .( 2009/2010) ) could 30 years this time ,who nows .

I think I'd prefer a more Continental-type climate: warmer and sunnier summers with colder, drier winters...Krakow or Riga perhaps?

Some moaning going on in the mod thread about the ramping that goes on in there, leading to disappointment when great looking charts don't verify but imo the ramping isn't the problem at all, it's those other posters who are gullible enough to take others literally, word for word and then they start clogging up the mod thread with moaning posts when any cold and snowy outlook doesn't verify.

This Winter has been okay here, seen plenty of snow, some very heavy snow which left a foot of snow. Several ice days.

I want to moan at all the ramping though, we've had no severe or prolonged cold at all despite people ramping all winter. An experienced member ramping about having near record cold in February when in reality it looks very average.

Still waiting patiently for a snow hurricane.

Thankyou TF x

Yes that was funny!

Looks like the severe cold weather for February forecast is also going the way of the pear!

Im sure RJS only forecast that for New England..

[Nights King]

Yes looks like this winter has started and ended on pretty much a damp squib, very very poor and imby probably second worst in almost a decade.

Always wrong side of marginal or just missing by a few miles in some cases. As for the SSW well that was a larry let down!

Just have to hope we see a decenty snow storm in march or april to make up for it now.

Piers and madden are joining the dole que as well! Although some people will still buy it next year when it's snowmabedon nov to march.

Can't see anything interesting in the next few weeks. I'd rather the mild dry than the cold dry option though. If I can't have snow I'd rather save on the heating bills. It's possible the high could go go north west into March but too little too late IMO

What a day! and what carnage caused by heavy wet snow. Went to bed with it raining and windy, woke up to heavy snow, thought oh that's nice until I suddenly realised my driveway was completely blocked by a now flattened hedge. I just couldn't believe how much damage was caused by the heavy wet snow. At this point with broom in hand and the neighbours about to call the men in white coats I'm out there furiously trying to bang snow off the hedging in the other parts of the garden.

Sum total my arms feel like they're about to fall off, the remnants of my driveway hedge are strewn all over the place. And here comes the really shocking part I was actually praying for the snow to turn to rain! yes me, snow lover obsessive praying for rain!

Yes to dry snow but most definitely no to any more of these wet snow events. Even though the flakes were massive and it was some of the heaviest I've seen I'd gladly have just cold rain next time!

On a more positive note the Pyrenees have their best snow in decades with Cauterets currently no 1 in the world for snow coverage, upper slopes currently have 570cms of snow! And with more falling tonight that could top 600cms by tomorrow!

Here's a question. With the Atlantic due to win again mid week this week, it reminds me of recounts of cold spells of the past. A few of them seem to talk about how a mild breakdown was predicted but when it came, it actually never broke the cold weather down and silly amounts of snow fell instead.

So my question is, with such an advancement in weather forecasting and modelling and with the internet and a greater share of information...would that scenario ever be possible again? I know we've seen models fail with the Atlantic pushing back this winter at a few days in advance...but I'm talking about a surprise on the actual day of it happening...as these recounts seem to suggest that they did in the past.

Edit: I am in no way suggesting that it will happen this week!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

GFS 18Z a 'Gavin' run, not bad as I like settled high pressure as well, but would much prefer a 'TEITS' run, -15 uppers and a convective E'ly

[Weather-history]

Now this is mild!

And a contrast for the same period 4 years previous

Nooo I want a warm and sunny april

So the the Model rollercoaster seems to still be going on and on, every time I think about calling time on this winter for good this always seems to happen lol
