    The more experienced people in here will remember January 2013 when it was dragged kicking and screaming into a cold spell at T48. That was fun!

    It was all of them VS UKMO.

    UKMO trumped them all. Also was the only model that wasn't going for the Dec 2012 Easterly. To this day, if the UKMO isn't on board then I am never comfortable.

    Absolutely..

    We want that trough dropping through Scandy as far south as possible..

    That  would benefit much more of the country.. 

    Longevity too, I believe this also killed the Boxing Day channel low from 2021. 
     

    We’ve come so far, the further that thing drops the colder it will be; thus leading to more surprises for all.

    I have a few mins ago and its horrible and i wish i didnt!!!!!mean is better!!!!!

    This is why starting high risk is walking the tight rope, if things end up to far NW then it starts getting dire. The control has the north Easterly we crave, but it’s in Iceland!

    For all, if you want your cold spell to have serious legs, you need pressure to be low south of the UK, having a ridge there is just asking for trouble.

    I agree 

    That system forms out of a shortwave s of Iceland - barely has its origins in the Arctic.  Can’t recall the last proper polar low we’ve actually seen 

    2015? Jan or Feb, hard to recall. Formed off West Coast of Scotland and travelled SE, the buzz that night was incredible.

    Just a point of clarification I saw recently. The MJO phase 4 composite is still cold, so it will be interesting to see how this verifies....

    Battleground cyclonic to me. Clearly we won't have a Greenland High that lasts forever but if we get a good blast of cold air from the north mid-month it wouldn't surprise me if we got an interesting battleground scenario to follow as heights to our NW wane (or move back to Scandi?)

    Phase 5 isn't favourable but I expect that to come into play later in the month (post January 25th)

     

    To me, this is Scandi wedge. Maybe high risk/high reward.
