Now i'm a naturally very optimistic individual, but i've been burned waaaay too many times to count over the years on this site, and i find myself at this time suffering from a bit of model fatigue.
It's been my knee-jerk reaction when i see certain 'negative' posts on the Model Discussion thread to dismiss them, but this last 10 days or so it's always felt like the good stuff is always 6 days away, and i'm starting to see their point of view.
Yes, i've had a sprinkling of snow here on Christmas Eve, and i woke up to a light dusting yesterday, but I cannot shake the feeling that it should be delivering more.
I know that what's happening now is a lot better than we've had for a good while, but I find myself getting wearied by checking the outputs several times each day to find that the forecast snow is now fizzled out to a wintry mix, or it's definitely coming at +96, or it's now modelled to hit the Low Countries.
Apologies for the downbeat feel to this post, i'm sure that after a 2 day break from obsessively monitoring the models will help.
