I am slowly coming onboard. However, I am not going to get drawn in as it is a full 9 days away and remember the last cold spell. It was looking good until two days before when it shifted east.

This one looks far better, but we really need to be getting -1/-2c maxes with constant snow showers to get deep worthy snow. So -12c uppers etc.

Looks good Ronan hopefully will end up like that. Smithy if every winter was like 2010 it would be too predictable, no discussion thread! The joys of living in an island with seas fed by the Gulf Stream.

Well um no offence but snow and -1c max isn't uncommon. 2010 weather was more like -10c max so me expecting an ice day isn't too much. Maybe in cork but not here.

 

Yes, but Dec 2010 was exceptional cold. I would be surprised if any of us experienced cold that severe again in our lifetimes.

Something is definitely brewing! As MS mentioned in the model thread, we have to wait until the models get into the higher resolution then we may have something to get excited about and also the 2 comments below from a forecaster from the MET and also a senior forecaster from netweather. Taken from the model thread.............

 

Colder spell expected later next week may last somewhat longer than initially suspected but longevity & influence to S UK very uncertain.

 

And also from a Netweather Senior Forecaster........

Those worried about the flatness of the jet shown upstream by the GFS, the modelled shunt of very cold air southeastwards across the UK later next week appears to be linked to displacement E and SE of the upper vortex across Greenland rather than from an increasingly meridional wave pattern working downstream creating trough amplification over us to allow cold air to escape south from more northerly latitudes.

 

Given the very cold deep cold air over Greenland and the northeastern Canada indicated by models, but a strong and fairly flat-ish PFJ which is shunted south by the colder air, a deep 'trigger' low may develop to the W or NW and track SE (as shown by 00z ECM) - with a severe northerly or northwesterly gale ushering in very cold air and snow from the north/northwest - with potential for blizzards for northern Britain a prospect.

 

After the calm and settled weather of recent, what unfolds later next week could come as a shock for some, but of much interest to the weather enthusiast.

 

Whether we see ECM deter idea of a closed upper low circulation develop over N America allowing height rises to extend across the top of Canada towards Greenland to prolong the cold or GFS's intact troughing south across N America from the polar regions with low heights extending across Greenland - remains to be seen.

I'm actually happier with the slow evolution of this prospective cold spell than the more dramatic events which are sometimes forecast .. . .  which have a nasty habit of dissipating at the last moment.  Some way to go yet but we're gradually creeping towards it.
