  6. Little selection of snaps around this area today. It's caused utter carnage in the local area today, especially shotts however seems to be getting slightly better now. Not what I was expecting today but after seeing nothing but rain and tarmac at 7am this morning then it hasn't turned out too bad, even clocked a snow drift in my back garden lol

  7. Most of the models have been pushing the atlantic through that shallow high- UKMO 12z now seeing more undercutting - probably the coldest scenario although not 'very' cold- however could still develop colder...

  10. Was in Inverness for a bit, snow lying down to about 300ft. Disappointing to read Doris was a bit of a fan*y for some of you guys where it had promised better, a vicarious snow fix just ain't the same, but here's a few from a spin around these parts

  11. Been snowing here since 4am. Typical since I have to get wee man to hosp to have his broken foot reviewed. He's going to be gutted when he wakes to see this snow he can't play in lol. Still snowing very heavily

  12. I would take the ukmo / Gem 12z at T+144 as they are the best looking in terms of a colder start to march.

  15. Just been on the moor behind my house with my trusty hand held anemometer. At 350m the mean speed was 53 mph, gusting 75 mph. With continuous moderate sleet 10 minutes was more than enough.

  24. Try visiting Shetland we often get winds like this or higher. In fact, yesterday we had gusts of 77mph in Lerwick Town Centre.

  27. Maybe a slightly misleading tweet. Capel Curig is very exposed. For the Midlands and East Anglia their stormy weather is about to set in properly through the afternoon. Nothing easing about Doris for eastern England

  29. Wow, from the pictures it looks like Fife and parts of N.Lanarkshire are getting the clobbering that the Borders were supposed to receive. That last one from @Benvironmentis seriously impressive. Well the drive to work for me this morning was through probably the heaviest snow of the winter up here. Which to be honest isn't saying much and caused no real problems despite a mix of slush and snow on the roads. Strangely though, up to the top of Tyrebagger on the A96 it was heavy snow, with it lying. As soon as you got over the top, and I mean an instant transformation, it was rain and wet roads, fields etc. Only just now starting to turn to wet snow in Dyce. Edit: Current state of my garden... Imagine getting excited about that, shows just how poor a winter it's been,

  34. One point of interest this morning vis the GEFS anomalies is the evolution of stronger positive anomalies over Iceland to a cut off high pressure cell as a result of the temporary amplification next week leaving the trough to dominate the Atlantic. This is reflected in this morning's det. run Once Doris is out of the way fronts associated with depressions tracking east from Iceland bring further rain and strong winds on Saturday. A brief respite before the next depression arrives north of Scotland 970mb by Sunday 18z bringing more fronts and rain to quickly traverse the country. Systems moving rapidly in a strong jet. This brings us neatly on to Tuesday as the upper trough slides SE over the UK as the Azores ridges north in mid Atlantic. Thus we have a large surface low pressure area over the UK and points east which brings a complete mixture of weather (including a brief northerly as the main depression runs quickly south east) and even a couple of shallow wave depressions pop along from the NW before the next deep (filling) depression arrives west of Ireland by Saturday. In a nutshell very unsettled with temps quite variable but generally around average.

  37. Winds are gusting over 120 km/hr well inland across north-central Ireland, this will be a precursor to very strong and gusty winds making it all the way through from the Irish Sea to the North Sea. This will be a memorable windstorm especially given how quickly it developed out of a very weak system 24 hours ago. The centre is in eastern NI at this point, heading for the southwest tip of Scotland and then into Cumbria. I am very concerned for wind damage potential in Lancs given the shaping of the isobars.

  39. With an MJO signal in the Indian Ocean and a stratospheric vortex persistently displaced toward Asia it seems the ingredients for blocking to our NE are there, but the road that the model runs which follow this script are keen to take on the way there leaves not a lot of cold air to be brought our way, resulting in a nuisance chill and little more. Then we have the sporadic signal for the Atlantic jet to remain strong and keep things mobile for us instead. Possibly the tropospheric polar vortex just doing its own thing rather than aligning with the stratospheric one. I wonder if we might see a halfway house of sorts which sees strong westerlies over a mid-latitude block. Sounds all too familiar doesn't it? Not hard to figure out why I've been silent for quite a while; ever since the massive modelling fail with respect to mid-Feb there's been a distinct lack of particularly appealing charts to discuss (or at least, within the 10 day range). Tomorrow was briefly an exception but it has since gone too far with the wind and not far enough with the cold air component. Best case scenario - but not a particularly likely one - that I can see on the cards for pleasant weather is ending up with a mid-lat block but either positioned far south enough that we avoid a nagging easterly or (best of all but also the least likely) aligned in conjunction with a low over Europe in such a way as to send relatively warm air in our direction from the eastern Med. For cold weather sufficient for widespread lying snow we'd need to see a proper annihilation of the stratospheric vortex and then get very lucky with the orientation of the major building blocks. Not sure I'd want to play that game after such a diabolical winter season in terms of defying our attempts to anticipate it's behaviour (worst I've known since I started paying proper attention a decade ago). Okay, time I ditched the morose hat and moved on. Here's to an entertaining spring season 2017
