Seems to me it's gloating from northerners which has rubbed some up the wrong way. Still a long way to go before any of us see proper snow falling, with many more twists and turns to come.

Last winter I was in London for the day with the family when that big snow event took place. Came down so fast and settled, even in the city. All the way home to Colchester on the train we were going past white fields and could see thick snow flying past the window. Three excited kids, one excited adult. Get to Colchester and nothing. Felt so unfair! I was proper grumpy.

Model Output Discussion - Into Winter
DJ Fart replied to MATTWOLVES 3's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
We hear this a LOT. Last year showed that this isn't always as true as many on here believe. We had deep cold that was brushed aside pretty effortlessly in the end. I've got three excited children (and an excited dad!) here watching falling snow on Dec 1st. It's already been a good winter in that respect. I've found that coming on here less frequently during the day and simply summarising the last couple of pages is better for my mental health than poring over every run...but here's to the next chase! -

Wow, the topsy-turvy world of following the weather models at this time of year! The snow charts, the IMBYism, the BOOMS, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, the pub run, the Stella (sic) runs, zonal, phasing, Griceland, "get the cold in"...and now into the straw clutching, and all before Dec 1st! Would we have it any other way?! Something tells me this isn't quite done yet, so tell the Fat Lady she isn't welcome. -

They're not all little lows, it's a comparison of the likely position of the low per model, I think. -

tl;dr: it might snow next Thursday, it might not. GFS is overdoing lows and underdoing heights. JMA wants Narnia, as usual, and someone is going to Stockholm. Other than that, as you were. -

Tenerife, nice. Don't forget to tell us all at least four times a day so we don't forget! -

If the "fail" option is "cold and dry" then I'm calling that a win-win, albeit the second prize is a way off first. Cold and dry winter days have their own special charm while putting the decorations up outside the house. -

Central Europe absolutely frigid. -

As others have said, a great start to the day. GFS's known failure to handle lows heading our way from the Atlantic should always be born in mind, especially on the good old pub run. After all, they do say that Thursday night is the new Friday night! -

I'm with you on this one. Until the UKMO is fully on board, everything else can be taken with a pinch of salt. -

Not sure a computer model can feel humiliation?
