yep agree but i can honestly see were MS is coming from too

And the met office outlook changes again (just like the wind) though this time its an upgrade. Honestly nobody has a clue whats going to happen so clearly i would look no further than 4 days ahead at most

At least its a chance so better than nothing

Exactly

Worst winter i can remember in a long long time and doesnt look like getting better anytime soon. LRF is literally impossible

We could still do well out of it. If it doesnt show cold and snow in southern england thr models are woeful usually

dont go into the mod thread. Easterly gone and they are in meltdown. EC has egg on its face. Blah blah blah . Still not as bad for us but not great either

Thank god for that

Totally agree with this statement. GFS has been better than other models as it’s constantly shown up dross while the others have been showing great charts then the nearer it gets its back to day ten again. I don’t understand why it’s getting slated as it’s vern nearer the mark.

It’s unreal.

We will see. Rain sleet or snow it is. That’s for sure.

It states rain , sleet and snow so you missed that bit out so we could easily get rain too

Totally agree

Well we all love it when it gives an upgrade so we have to comment when it’s a downgrade too but of course it could change

It’s complety different wording from yest.

Yep hopefully still get a bit of snow but I think cold spell is dead and buried. Will certainly be nowhere near as good as last winter. Word from work after met office weekly meeting is risk of cold end of January into early Feb had gone from high risk to average risk now. So that’s a big step down from them too. They said there could be the odd snowfall but nothing crippling to affect the airport. However confidence was low and it could very easily upgrade again

It’s what I expected as I couldn’t get excited about this supposed cold spell. GFS has never been on board. That for me was the killer blow. Look when I’m stating it’s a big downgrade I’m talking in generally sense for all uk and Ireland but the update is not bad for us here compared to southern UK and we could do extremely well but it’s certainly a downgrade in update from met office for southern uk and when that starts happening I always get wary that cold may start moving north of us. But I wouldn’t be surprised for more downgrades in the days ahead but hope we can stay north enough for cold weather

100% agree. Why are people trying to sugar coat it. It’s a woeful update

Because that update is a huge downgrade from yesterday. That’s just normal winter fair. Possible rain, sleet snow mainly high ground but possible Low ground. Gone is cold or very cold weather expected along with enhanced risk of frost and snow. It’s miles different and a shocking update for the south. The north maybe a bit of snow but more so on hills.

It’s why I literally for for years Have paid no attention to their long range forecasts. They change with the wind and are utterly pointless. Ok for the north but a shocking update for the south.

There you go the dreaded met office update. Game over now in my eyes. That is a huge downgrade and to me what I have been expecting as I just couldn’t buy Into this big freeze scenario. Still chance for snow but that’s a very poor update.

The models and met office have been abysmal in forecasting this supposed cold spell. Always in never never land. Honestly think this may never happen.

ECM great rest pretty poor. Nothing out of the ordinary weather wise so all pretty meow! WAit goes on, and on and on and on. Usual 10 days.

Good lord I don’t know what to believe then in that case. I give up. Good fun this though

Don’t like sound of that.! Ten days to save this woeful winter then. Not looking good then. Ah well always next year. But I hope it’s without this hyped SSW. Load of tosh.
