I suspect that the beast would be so tired by June that he may simply burn in mid air, imposing some effect at ground level as he does so -

Model output discussion - Post SSW - Will it turn cold?
Chris D replied to Paul's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
They really are incredible ensembles! Can I just say I don't post in here very often at all as I'm what is (probably) known as one of these Netweather 'lurkers' I took one look at this forum tonight after the ECM 12z tonight and thought the end is nigh...and this cold spell might be odds off, gone in the tipper and burnt by the Atlantic. But actually, you look at the fact that the ECM 12z op is a really big outlier - this really just shows how strong the signal is for the block to set up in this way. The GFS 18z is just outrageous and is (in my honest opinion) an extreme solution. It seems to me, though, all models have got this block sorted and pretty much nailed. The only question is...just exactly HOW much snow?? -
Hurricane Irma

Irma now up to 180mph sustained winds http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT1+shtml/051445.shtml? -

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/catl/h5-loop-rb.html I cannot tell if it's actually undergoing eyewall replacement or not? Seemed like it weakened slightly so maybe it has. The eye is so small it's tricky to see! NHC were expecting it to take place to be fair. -
Was not expecting this for Norwich! Couple of cms at least and building quickly!!! EDIT: REALLY big flakes now too!
-
Can confirm sleety snow in west Norwich Shockingly!
-
Well, I'm hoping to maybe see a flake or two in Norwich. Stranger things have happened, but the current forecast is for the heavier stuff to be further south. That is if things go to plan, though, and this appears to be an extremely unpredictable situation.
-
Well, it is the GFS we're talking about here
-
Just when you thought we were maybe getting slightly better with all those colder winters, our long period of mild winters bring us back to a one small snowflake = panic affair. Modern britishness at its best.
-
Yes Ian Brown is an absolute Netweather legend in my opinion! Hoping to see something today. Keeping an open mind re snowfall...
-
I'm a lurker in this particular thread, although I haven't been posting very often recently. However monitoring the models from a tentative distance even I can tell ALL the models have set something up as early as T120 and I am looking forward to how this pans out past this point. I think there is now very high likelihood that some sort of good northerly is on the cards (with a good chance of snow). How this reloads is another matter but just to remind you about how the past few winters went

Model Output Discussion - 14th Jan 12z Onwards
Chris D replied to reef's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
Oh my, what have I come into here!! nearly 1,000 people reading this thread haha! Very good runs from the models tonight, and -10c 850s I see, must be a sign of something, and cross model ageement?? Cold spell approaching? Maybe. -
Mhm this is a good sign for me then! Fingers crossed I see some flakes haha
-
Well, wet through here lol. Not a flake in sight!
-
Aye the uncertainty of this one must defo be stressed - haven't seen this amount of model volatility in a while. As has been said, there could well be rather substantial changes in the intensity & track of the LP yet! May go down to the wire really
-
Well that does look good actually haha. Although I think the temps are too marginal for the snow to be settling for me at sea level especially, temp accum.'s in other areas with any sort of height very likely though. I just wanna see some snow falling after the abominal winter of last year lol.
-
Well for mwah where I am, I think I expect to see at least some snow (hopefully) but none of it settling from Boxing Day night's event. At the very least, some sleety stuff. That is providing the thing doesnt move any further south lol. Still nice to see any snow though! Oh, and Merry Christmas! :w00t:
