I didn't say he was talking about the period beyond the New Year, I have read the Tweet ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Many thanks, he mentions up to the New Year , which is so far out

Very odd he is talking about the New Year so far out

Paul Bartlett was a former forecaster for the Met Office , the term ' Bartlett High' was linked to Paul.......not sure exactly how , I am sure some on here could tell you. Surprised you haven't heard of him?? Paul passed away nearly 3 years ago

From GFS of course ..................luckily there is more than one model to swap stories with

Yes it does if people are having a discussion about it...................its good to talk and discuss certain model performances

Until now you mean? Understanding you now

Are you sure , I saw something from Brian on TWO saying the current GFS was verifying much better up to x hours

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/runs/2014121812/gfsnh-0-150.png?12 Could possibly end up with the HP to the West sitting over the UK

Have to say I was baffled by Russell's comments also

They are very very rare SW , so don't hold your breath

But they have mentioned colder, showery conditions, they probably feel that is enough at this moment in time .

Can you explain please ???

Which isn't a million miles from where GFSP wans to take us http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfsp/runs/2014121712/gfsnh-0-240.png?12

http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfs/runs/2014121712/gfsnh-0-264.png?12 Not much wrong with that IMO

I do actually , as I was replying to a post which implied the run was well past Xmas day and beyond , not sure there was any need for your post I do actually , as I was replying to a post which implied the run was well past Xmas day and beyond , not sure there was any need for your post

Is it out beyond Xmas Day as I type , I am at 168 hrs 24/12 ????

Oh I don't know, he pops in when he has something to say , I doubt he would ever feel pressured by anyone on here.

No it isn't , charts posted are too far out to labelled nailed on, been here before with this

No its not, it happens every year no matter what weather forum you are on, here or on TWO, most chase the perfect winter

Think we would all be happy with that

The Ens have some interesting runs http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-20-1-288.png?18 20 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-19-1-288.png?18 19 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-17-1-360.png?18 17 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-16-1-336.png?18 16 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-15-1-300.png?18 15 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-13-1-348.png?18 13 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-11-1-312.png?18 11 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-9-1-276.png?18 9 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-8-1-312.png?18 8 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-7-1-324.png?18 7 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-3-1-324.png?18 3 http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/run/gensnh-1-1-300.png?18 1 Certainly enough to keep some interest

10 days out , nothing is set in stone that far out, plenty of time for change
