You cant have been following the models in winter 2013/14 that was purgatory! 10mins of sleet in early March was as good as it got round my way!

?

Still think we have a good shout going forward with this high pressure cell moving over us and out to our west, we have far better a far better chance than low pressure barrelling into us from the west/s.west ala 2013/14.

I Agree, i think as long as HP is hanging around over us or out to our west i think we are in with a shout at some point.

As a cricketer I detest cold springs, cant forget the first outdoor training session this year at the start of April had to be abandoned because of snow! I do get the feeling however looking globally what seems to be happening we are long overdue one of these outpourings of cold that seem to be happening in areas of the world that traditionally have mild winters, I think when we do cop one it will be spectacular. As we are told climate change will make extremes of weather more common, so our winter maybe become periods of extreme mild mixed with short sharp outbreaks of cold, yo-yo winters if you like.

Another downer with the current output is it kills this thread.

Don’t worry am sure we will get a Minging cold and wet spring.

Can’t we find some last minute Iberian short wave to pop up and scupper this mild muck that’s incoming? Seriously fuming, the one time of year I get to spend some time on the models and properly read the mod thread and we get this crap, still cannot believe we have ended up with this weather over the Christmas/New Years break. Serious mild Ramping going on as well! 13C and rain can’t wait.

Well doing my best to scupper the up coming mild spell, been ramping it up to all my family members over the last couple of days, and it seems to be working those +10 850s we were seeing a couple of days back on the gfs are disappearing every run.

Oh for F F S, is that for real?

Just hoping something starts to pop up to chase, the Christmas break is one of the few times I get to properly follow events on the models, maybe something might start the fun in the 12s.

Can someone message the Express and tell them a mildbomb is coming, that’s normally a deathknell of a cold spell. Seriously how have we ended up with this with the charts we were looking at last weekend. Christmas 2015 redux. Only positive I can get from that was we did some how manage a day or so of snow around about 6/7th or January in these parts.

F F S, You just watch those minging mild uppers count down faultlessly from the south west . Well only good thing is i have being telling the kids for the last 10 days its going to me mild a wet for Christmas ( Was building up the surprise for them when it looked like we were in for snow and cold!) Also cant even leave the xmas booze outside to keep nice and cool.

Well that was predictable to wake up to , guess its going to be very quiet in here over the next few weeks. That's the other killer when it goes the way of the pear is this place dies a death. I suppose we where due another Christmas 2015 after the last 2/3 being dry and chilly round my way. Will the last person to leave turn off the light.

I do remember that, but guess it mainly designed/programmed for dealing with weather patterns in the Asian/pacific region. Does the ECM and Meto Models cover that region as well? Would be interested to see what their performance stats are like for that part of the world?

I think ive worn out the ignor button, most action its had since 2013/14 winter this morning!

abc, Looking like a December 2015 Mingfest now not Snowfest. As other has mentioned its the flip from cold/chilly over the festive period to disgustingly mild and probably wet, that's the real slap in the face. Still we fight on cold lovers! on to the next set of runs can we pull something out the bag.

What I hate most about the mild output currently is it’s killed the mod thread off, back to 3/4 pages a day! Have really enjoyed the cut and thrust of the chase for cold over the last month or so, it’s been a welcome distraction from the purgatory that is Coronavirus. And the bit of snow we have had has given us something different to do with our two young children, but gutted we only had a few sprinkles of snow from this easterly, was hoping to recreate the igloo we made in the BFTE of 2018. (Youngest child to young to remember it )

As a cold lover in winter and a cricketer in the summer I hate nothing more than mild/warmth in January/February and March, followed by a wet cold April and May with copious amounts of northern blocking and Scandinavian highs showing in the charts. Just hope this really isn’t it for the winter and we can get one more cold shot for those of us who missed out this time. Otherwise it’s feels a bit like get bowled for a duck in your last cricket match of the summer having to spend the whole winter fuming about it because you’re got to wait 7 months till you get another go!

Fingers crossed! Been a frustrating day of radar watching! Blame me I covertly bought the kids a new sledge at the end of last week. (Gotta be up there with telling friends and family there’s a cold spell on the way as a sure fire way to scupper snow) have had to keep it hidden!

It’s funny I have lived most my life out towards the east/west haddon area so only 5/6 miles from Northampton and have done pretty well in all the big events over the last 12 years 2009 feb+Dec, 2010 nov/dec 2013 jan/march and the 2018 beast. 91 February was good from memory and my parents found some old vhs footage of it last Christmas. Think I have some very hazy memories of jan 87 but was only 4 and half,so not sure how good it was round here. But like you said during the big events of the last 12 years once you got towards town It was noticeable how much less snow there was. My grandmother used to say Northampton was in a dip and was why the Germans never really bombed it in the war despite making most of the army’s shoes! Maybe the dip is the cause of the snow shield today!

Very light flurry just blown through here, bodes well for later as that front over London drops away over the morning/afternoon.
