Scotland Regional Discussion - January Part 2

[A Winter's Tale]

Actually, there's something that I prefer about this run already! My instict is that the flow would suit us a little better on this run.

[A Winter's Tale]

In the short terms, a slight improvement in the flow with it being ever so slightly further west. Aberdeenshire could see a fair bit of snow on Tuesday.

GFS 18z coming out soon!

Will there be an upgrade for convection in the easterly in the coming days?

Will Scotland be plunged into the freezer next week and be pasted aswell?

Can the Scandi Hi last and keep us in with a shout of more cold, or will we stay in the freezer?

Will the Atlantic comeback mean a snowfest for us - only to be defeated by the mighty Scandi Hi?

Will there be a Greenie High?

WYEGIAFR??!!

[LomondSnowstorm]

I presume you are asking what this is?

No, was just questioning whether to ramp or not

Anyway, very heavy, emm, rain I think outside at the moment. Lots of convection, not much cold yet, 3.4/2C here. It'll drop soon, hopefully, and the precipitation will turn, colder uppers just on the doorstep now.

[Hairy Celt]

Or we could have one of these for me :wub:

...would do nicely for later this week thank you.

WYEGIAFR??!!

[A Winter's Tale]

The GFS 18z is looking like another slack run beyond Wednesday.

I've figured out yours often enough so you can figure out mine! It'll come to you!

That occlusion on the fax chart a few pages ago is going to be very interesting with -10C uppers around....

Slack'll do me for the moment. Just as long as it's cold and not a sinker.

Dear god people we've drifted off topic

It’s a language I’ve not heard in a long, long time…

In the ancient tongue, I believe it reads something like:

“Whit the telephone box?â€

It does have the telephone box in it!

[A Winter's Tale]

GPs latest thoughts are interesting.

Positives:

Potential for snow before mid next week - LS - what is the potential for snow in the next 2-3 days?

Cold air over us

Scandi High still there, no clear cut answer to what we will get but it gives us an oppurtunity for next week and for the rest of February.

Not bad, better angle of attack from the low and the high still in place. Undercut but probably a bit of a messy one coming up, potential for lots of snow initially in the west then eventually to all parts.

edit: Uppers not great but crucially not above 0C, so perhaps holding as snow even with that http://cdn.nwstatic.co.uk/gfsimages/gfs.20120129/18/150/h850t850eu.png

Extend the easterly a bit longer and get the low tilted differently though and that's not just a 9 hour snowfall, it's a 36 hour blizzard. Hence why we need the cold first.

Bad news- Atlantic wins again by the weekend. But with high pressure still over Scandinavia we can still clutch for some more potential later.

WYEGIAFR??!!

:rofl: , very clever, but not heeded.

Greenie High coming up?

Certainly on this run the cold air has a better fight against the west.

[edo]

still 2.5c here and wind back to SE....no precipitation the noo

[Hairy Celt]

:rofl: , very clever.

Ah I see. Doubt it somehow, least not soon. Not enough rampling.

Dear god people we've drifted off topic

Erm, what was this evening's agenda? Blitzen's acronyms beat non-existent snow!

[Highland Snow]

Temperature in Perth went up from -0.8 to 2.8 with a heavy prolonged rain shower coming up NW from Glenrothes. Temp. Steady at 2.7 for last hour.

I can't argue with that!

I KNOW!!

[A Winter's Tale]

Right, where do I start.

Snow potential in the next 3 days for the east.

Very cold air and Scandi Hi in place as the atlantic tries to barge in. Result = massive snowfall

Scandi Hi still in place and if that low situated over Lerwick moves south then things would get very interesting.

Even still, throughout there's high pressure near Scandinavia and there's a block in the Atlantic - Greenie High anyone.

A whole load of scenarios and good oppurtunities. A very intruiging scenario, one to follow me thinks!
