The Northern Ramper

He was in the French Pyrenees for a time I’ve had 3 posts moderated in the last hour so I’m just reporting now as instructed. I did want to respond to the posts suggesting that I wasn’t seeing the bigger picture of the cold not getting far enough south. Ive only been following the models and thread for 15 years so what would I know after this time? Completely missing my point.

There isn’t a southern bias in the nob thread, posters from Kent, Sussex and Essex have told me.

Leicester

Name change, the artist formerly known as ramp.

When we factor in the standard southern corrections of a LP system coming up against a block, it will be lucky to hit Jersey.

Yes a cracking run for the north, things you love to see

A Bitterly cold feel and snizzle in the air of Saddleworth, lovely

A mild outlier.

This is their regional thread.

It’s clearly counting down nicely.

When we have had ‘Holy grail’ Synoptics there is only one way it can trend. I mean we had a Polar Low over us the other night. Things are still looking good to me.

Exactly, it’s only going one way.

In my mind nothing has changed from my stance of being optimistic but cautious 24 hours ago, with a couple of points to add. 1. It is said often that the GFS is strongest in that particular area where the shortwave appears and the other models don’t show it. So don’t be surprised if that is correct. That being said it is also poor in modelling these features against a block so it’s doubtful to have got its track correct, if it even exists. 2. The gems snowfall charts have always been woefully over exaggerated. Plenty of water to go under the bridge still but for me we are 24 hours closer tonight.

The charts are lovely but keep calm people there’s water left to go under the bridge.

Oh my days

I was just about to post, don’t let the mod thread stop you posting in here. We are a good bunch in the NorthWest thread, I’ve never seen hostility in here. Ive got lots on the blocked list in that thread.

Thanks for posting that, it was a good watch.

Merry Christmas all

Great post Mucka

Well the mad thread is living upto it’s name.

It feels like it has rained all weekend here and any drier interludes have been various levels of gloom. Give me cold and clear any day of the week.

Well this is a truly grim December day but it feels cosy sat inside warm looking out.

A pretty poor effort here, yes we got a covering but it could have been so much better.

Light snow has arrived in Rampshire.

Mega, the snow lovers up there deserve it.
