    Is the dangerous though that this low may just hang around and fill in situ before another low comes along. I was looking forward to some dry and cold weather,but now it could well be cold rain for a couple of days if the low becomes slow moving. I could deal with the cold rain if the latest GFS is correct about this just being a delay to colder weather arriving in the early days of December.

    We need to shut off the North Atlantic drift or reverse the spin of the globe. Some people might then start searching deep fi for signs of rain in that scenario:)

    It's nearly always the case that we are looking on with envy while England gets all the snow. Maybe this time we will get in on the action later on.
  4. Bricriu
    A disappointing start or strat?
  5. Bricriu
    I am wondering where blast from the past is too. I hope he is alright. You'd miss his optimism and enthusiasm for the cold.

    With the low ending up in Scotland and then filling that surely means most places will end up milder for a time at least. Why can't it fill a 100 miles off the South Coast of Ireland. As someone said if there is a way to kill an Easterly the models will find it
  7. Bricriu
    It's certainly the case for most of Ireland anyway. I am expecting cold rain here. I was hoping for some dry weather if we couldn't have snow, but the GFS and UKMO has other ideas.

    We are in the game, but these shortwaves coming together at best could delay real cold, at worst could scupper a cold spell. It's never good to see these hanging around out west. We need them modelled further south for a decent frontal snow event and then a clean evolution to cold air winging its way over us

    Can I just say in relation to settling snow ,the snow fall we had on the evening of 16th December 2010 was one of the most memorable I ever experienced, because I had never seen snow stick so readily to wet ground as it did that evening shortly after the transition from rain to snow. I haven't seen anything like it since either.

    I said it more in jest than anything else. I know well that an average to poor winter for North America still means they are likely to get a lot more snow than we are likely to have. As regards our cold spell, let's hope there is no hangover in the morning , but at the very least we are going to have a break from the zonal flow for a few days.
  11. Bricriu
    So for once some snow lovers on North American forums maybe the ones looking on enviously and search deeping fi for any sign of colder weather. Let's hope so anyway.

    If a robust high to the north east can be maintained , it might not matter. A colder easterly may develop after day 10. From an imby perspective I would prefer a strong Greenland high but that could come eventually anyway if we maintain the blocking pattern . I really hope the idea about a boundary is correct- but for once we are on the cold side of the boundary over here and we get heavy frontal snowfall at some point-preferably Christmas week. Although snow is welcome any time!

    To me it looks like he is just scrambling for an explanation because it goes against what he thinks should be happening due to teleconnections. It's like the July situation all over again. The simple truth maybe the weather sometimes just defies the background signals? Having said that some of the things happening in atmosphere this year are the same as they were in winter of 2009.

    It would be sods law if it was right about the return to mild. I am just trying not to get my hopes up too much for something epic only to be let down
  15. Bricriu
    The EC46 does not show it lasting unfortunately. By the way where is the poster blast from past/Fred I thought he would be around for this.
  16. Bricriu
    Yes, I think you are right it will be a halfway house solution. The fact UKMO aren't on board either is a bad sign, but if we end up with some settled weather with frost and fog at night it wouldn't be a bad outcome from my perspective. I have had enough of rain for a while, so even a temporary reprieve will do.
  17. Bricriu
    The storm is done and dusted here in the west of Ireland. I don't think the gusts were as strong as forecasted to be anywhere(in Ireland), but still this was a potent storm while it lasted
  18. Bricriu
    I saw it straight away. Maybe that's worse. The end of the ECM looks primed!
  19. Bricriu
    Is that ECM run an outlier or a last minute downgrade?
  20. Bricriu
    Just to be clear, are you saying that the splitting of the tpv could be scuppered by the spv and as a consequence we end up with the strat and trop coupling. That could explain the thinking behind the latest UKMO update if so
  21. Bricriu
    I'd take the ECM or GEM this evening. The more plausible scenario seems to be a toppling high on the GFS. Regarding the UK Met Office a couple of weeks ago they had a tentative signal for winds from the East or North East around Mid November onwards.
  22. Bricriu
    The only crumb of comfort there is to the north east. If we can hold on to the heights there longer term then perhaps we could have a favourable outcome down the line- or is this just inviting everyone to be led up another garden path
  23. Bricriu
    Was it not Ural Blocking that led to the cold spell back in the Winter of 2009 and 2010?
  24. Bricriu
    Excuse my ignorance, but what are MSCs? Some kind of supercell thunderstorms?
  25. Bricriu
    Well I think what's quite evident from the charts in fi is that the unusually warm sea temperatures around the West Coast of Ireland will be pegged back in the next couple of weeks. We looking to be going back to crappy normal summer weather for us,with the south east of England getting any warm and dry weather on offer. Still we did have almost three weeks of fine weather. So i can't grumble too much.
