    Absolute beast of a storm here in County Antrim, worst in years.

    Reminds me of the 1998 boxing day storm.

    This i concur not just as bad yet  i worked for NIE then was 3 weeks putting electricity back on again after the 1998 storm.

    Same has happened here.

    The shower band survived intact to give North Belfast a covering but has died a death as it crossed the Lagan valley.

    This cold snap gets 3/10 rating for providing one decent fall and a couple of hard frosts.

    I'm not expecting anything cold again until at least mid February.

    December 2017 cold spell delivered everywhere much better lasted over a week if i remember rightly proper snow shower spreading inland.

  3. Talk about a frustrating watch this has been besides from that low with milder sector that brought a good couple of inches of snow then to melt the same day😤

    I've never seen showers fall apart so easy don't even know how that last shower never stead organised literally fell apart a few miles away to nothing one more chase in me to mid February then I'm done this winter.

    This is somewhat misleading.  Prior to some past notable colder spells the charts suggested  a long route to cold, but  as those cold outbreaks proved it can happen  quite quickly. Also sometimes the GFS  Op run can lead the way against  the ensembles. We saw this last week. The GFS is sometimes good at sniffing  out trends  that the other models don't pick up on.  We could end up with heights towards the North East during the first week of February , but  whether the high is far enough north and orientated the right way to advect cold our way  I would be much less confident about. 

    That's my take yours is different enjoy the chase if comes earlier its a bonus.👍🫡

    What I find interesting with the MJO is that when it gets into so cold favourable cold sectors for us, that we just get a mid latitude block or brief cold spell like next week.

    Yet, now that the MJO is moving into unfavourable sectors for cold the NAO goes rock solid positive for weeks.

    The opposite never seems to occur.

    It seems just above zonal wind speed is enough to set the zonal express train kicking in happened last cold spell to back in the start of December everything looked rosy but quickly turned on its head like a flick of a switch.

    Ps Maybe it will all switch back tomorrow and we see these wedges that's been talked about yea never know 🙏
