    Where is ian fergie?!!aint seem him post anything in ages!!back to the models am glad gfs has dropped the idea of the potential west based nao from this morning!!just need an upgrade on the atlantic block on the 18z and voilaaa!!!

    It's my understanding that some of the information Ian shared with us last year was used on other social media websites without his permission. I remember him saying that he would have to stop posting on here. Such a shame isn't it.

    1 December had a strong NAO signature image courtesy of Anthony Masiello on twitter.

    2 Bz refers to solar influence on the NAO and whether increased activity expands the Hadley Cell vs other forcing ( eg MJO)

    3 The strat plots show a distended vortex carved across the NH as a result of a 2k M Wave 1 forcing, the Pacific Block pushing the vortex, being met briefly by the Atlantic anomaly.

    4 The 100 hPa pattern shows the avenue to support ridge development NW  > NNE and also the intrigue of the next evolution of the vortex energy shown in the 475K, around that time the MJO will be on 2-7 days for activity again.

     

    Sounds interesting, but what exactly does this all mean? Thanks

    The clear trend after the 2nd is for no real sustained cold though, though there is still some scatter in my opinion the trend is still away from any long lasting cold spell. The mean was -5 yesterday it's now between -1 and -2.

    The average temperatures look to remain below 5 degrees which to my knowledge is below average if nothing else. I do get what you mean though as things could be a lot colder if those Stella runs from yesterday were to verify.

    Hard to be sure for sure, though we can only go on what the ensembles are hinting at. GEFS and EPS suggesting a return of the Gulf of Alaska ridge in early Jan, which would perhaps ridge far enough to the pole to temporarily turn the AO -ve. Also both signal the 'euro slug' ridge retrograding into the N Atlantic.

    06z GEFS 500mb mean in early Jan

    Could someone please explain this tweet as I have no idea what it's benefits could be. Thanks.

  5. We had a very heavy hail shower that lasted near half an hour earlier in the afternoon. It left behind nearly an inch of ice on all surface that in places still remains now. It's official April has been more successful fir cold and wintry weather than the whole of the previous winter. If only the SSW happened  earlier.

  6. You have to laugh don't you. Here we are at the end if April with winter synopsis charts that would have delivered so much more during the actual winter! Currently -8 dew point here. It never got anywhere near that during the winter just gone. Some of us might get a surprise or too tonight.

    some possibilities of snow showers off the North Sea for snow starved East Yorkshire on Sun night perhaps ....

    That really would be a pleasant surprise and we have had nothing all winter and have missed out on every occasion so far.

    Radar showing rain/ snow mix but just light rain here. 

    Temp 2.5 C.  DP 1.6 C

    We need the dew point to lower by a degree or so, or for the intensity to increase. I'm not expecting anything here. Time will tell of course.

    I can't believe that NWly and Nly airflows have become so marginal in recent times. Seems you get an initial push of conducive uppers before a gaping mild sector appears. Time and time again just recently.

    Agreed! we are currently nearing the end of a cold spell and what amazes me is that the temperatures have been average at best. Since when has average temperatures been classed as a cold spell? when was the last time Shetland and Aberdeen got hammered by frequent heavy snow showers in a northerly flow?

    I'm so , so very tired. we have had to put up with rubbish for 3 years now.  I don't care how old anyone is, everyone I've spoken to around here, even people in their 80s, have not seen a period so devoid of snow.

    I'm so tired of the models whipping everything away from us at the last minute. the more 'clever' people on here will say I'm being silly and that I should not look beyond such and such a period. but I don't think anything has ever ben as misleading as it has been these past 2-3 years. Have the models become less reliable or has the weather? We really need to ask this question!

    I agree mate. It's no coincidence in my opinion that the brutal cold that has affected the north eastern states over the past three years has something to do with our winters as this has super charged the jet stream. I can remember watching an old Bec forecast during February 1991. The states were having an unusual warm spell while we were getting hammered with snow and sub zero temperatures.
