  1. I'd have said a set up (with the potential to become sustained) in which a very cold air feed from the NE has highly precipitous low pressure systems from the SW trying to make incursions from the Atlantic at times would be conducive to Irish snowfall, but perhaps that's just my interpretation.
  2. When air in January is coming from a Scandinavia where -40°C is occuring, I don't think you need worry about being near the coast. Quite the opposite in Inverness streamer events.
  3. I would say that from a Scottish perspective, we will be at day 7/8 come the morning where the real turning point takes place. In my neck of the woods, these are genuine Nirvana charts, producing copious amounts of snow from the NE at a perfect angle. Which is why I personally won't be getting excited until Sunday night - at which point, I'll be glad I booked off the week of the week commencing the 15th as I'll be skiing most days.
  4. I have to say as a Highlander I'm slightly scratching my head at some of the comments on here. We're a wee island encompassing three countries (setting aside the potential for Ireland) and while I understand those in the likes of Kent might be a bit disappointed, this looks set to potentially be a historic weather event. Furthermore, such an unstable and unpredictable low will produce surprises further south should it come to pass. Looking forward to further clarity and consensus over the coming days but those in the south shouldn't be ruling out sudden shortwaves and surprise events.
  5. That has a very different meaning up here so I sincerely hope not. The BBC seem to be firmly backing the ECM, not even mentioning any ambiguity, which I find a bit odd.
  6. Looks too orange to be hen of the woods so I'm thinking maybe some chicken of the woods that's passed its prime due to colder weather.
  7. If the GFS is still showing important developments at day 6 then it really shouldn't be discounted so I wouldn't say it's "very poor output for coldies".
  8. Just in case anyone's interested in what a mist blizzard in strong winds on top of 3 meters of snow looks like. VID_20230121_141203.mp4
  9. Aberdeen at 26°C already - must be going to have a crack at the record?
  10. Dull start to the day has given way to genuine wall to wall sunshine, now up to 25°C.
  11. They're turning out some really mental scenarios and it's s all going to be very much hanging in the balance. For example is it really going to be only 21°C in Forres but into national record breaking territory on the Buchan coast? Seems odd and I doubt it but we shall see. 37°C in the south will be both fascinating and terrifying.
