Model Output Discussion - Into February
BlazeStorm replied to damianslaw's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Big time lurker here. I understand the concerns and lack of trust regarding the GFS. But given this is 4 or so runs in a row showing similar outcomes for Tuesday onwards next week, I think it holds some weight. When I saw the GEFS Ensembles 3 or 4 days ago my spider senses were tingling, but I dismissed it. Feeling optimistic about this one. Will this be remembered as THAT GFS? We'll see! -

Yes, did not see that either. The pivot much more noticeable on the Meteo 3hr radar! Will check again around midnight. -

Not far from clearing Ireland now. Could reach us in the early hours of the morning (3/4am) if it does not decide to track south. Really appreciate you pointing this out. Looking promising! -

Cold Decembers in the US? I wonder how Decembers in Europe compared! Interesting to see the Met Office UK CET ranking December 2010 as the second coldest in 334 years. The third coldest December occurred during the last Grand Solar Minimum. And the coldest December recorded (1890) occurred during a rapid decline in sunspot activity, before recovering in the early 1900s. Observations are now trending towards the next Grand Solar Minimum. Current sun spot activity alarmingly low. Notice the total lack of solar activity in the last 4 months. CM predictions expecting the sunspot cycle to steadily climb. However the recent trend of weakening solar cycles prevails, and the increase in activity stalls. For comparison, here is the sunspot activity for the last 400 years, since 1600. If increases in sunspot activity are not observed within the next year, there is chance for a series of considerably colder winters in the years to come. I'm all for a green, clean planet. But I struggle to accept humans directly control the climate. More inclined to agree that we are a contributing factor to the climate we experience. It seems more and more plausible to suggest the sun, a ball of fire 1,300,000 times larger than earth and relatively close on an astronomical scale, directly controls and dictates the climate on our planet. -

Model Output Discussion - Into November 2019

I wouldn't worry about the Northern Hemisphere at T216. The next few days are unpredictable enough! -
Model discussion - Warm spell ending as Spring begins
BlazeStorm replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Recall posting something towards the end of January flirting with the (daft) idea that winter will arrive just in time for the Game of Thrones finale, as HBO would have wanted. Shortly after, this post was removed by the mods. Now observing the charts there are indications (think ECM) that this may well be the case. Will be interesting to see what happens around Easter, equally interested to see whether this post also gets removed for suggesting something so absurd. Exciting times! -
Instead, you might have misunderstood the 'Cold Hunt' thread.

You should see a shower in about 20/30 mins! -

Looking at the recent Met Office forecast on YouTube, earliest looks to be 10pm this evening, with consistent showers and a more organised band around 4-5am tomorrow. -
I can't help but feel that the model Gods are mocking us yet again... Here we are... 10 days away... But it's nice to see you again ECM

The GFS and I have some trust issues. Cracking run.

True... Nobody dares to call it?

Model output discussion - cold proper on the way?
BlazeStorm replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
The models have been hinting at 'colder conditions' towards the end of runs since mid-late November. Therefore, I can appreciate the frustration others feel when the cold is continuously pushed back. If this trend continues through to Spring, this will turn out to be one of the strangest winters I have ever experienced. -
Model output discussion - cold proper on the way?
BlazeStorm replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Agreed. It'll snow when it snows, it'll rain when it rains. I imagine myself and many others probably spend too much time concerning themselves with things like this, although it is human nature to desire anticipation of the unknown. Unfortunately, the models will never be reliable. -
Snow joke, I think it's coming...
