No surprise as they ignore the GFS.

Might be a good thing - we'll see what happens I'm confident IDO you will muster something out this cold spell, we're all in with a chance. Interesting nonetheless. Dank out there, Cloudy & Cool.

I've been talking to some americans on a different forum this morning and they seem to think that they are going to get a snowstorm and blizzard from tuesday next week, with a couple of feet of snow in some areas.And here we are, wondering if we might get a few millimetres! haha

We'll see some colder weather at the end of next week thankfully but certainly no "Big Freeze" on the way. And snow prospects look modest at best. But certainly an improvement on recent "winters".

Potentially if I was in Norfolk I'd be quietly optimistic about the upcoming northerly.

Past records show that they can really deliver many inches of snow in those parts.

The low at T156 also warms out the uppers and again marginal goes the wrong way:  attachicon.gif156-779UK.gif

 

So although many are saying once the cold digs in on late Wednesday it will be all snow, that looks over optimistic as the models get into their higher res they spot the warm sectors and occlusions.

I saw on here somewhere the 528 dam is following quite a way behind the backedge of that front hence the rain possibility. We lose the precip before it gets cold enuff.

And if you read the thread correctly you will see JJ1 & snowrye *ARE* talking about America and their weather not the UK.

morning all things might get a bit interesting  on Wednesday  if the models are right might have to go to bq to get a bag of grit!!

 

Strange charts I'm seeing - ECM a total contradiction to what the UKMO/BBC are going for?

I presume that apart from a lucky few, this next cold spell will be exactly that. Just cold. And dry.

Well roll on 12 hours, big ol' trough is actually behind 528 dam line both going S - snow band moving south. Other charts also shows more troughs following in with cold air already embedded, so not a dry picture.

I suspect that some in the SE may see some snow in the next week but mostly trace amounts on the 06z GFS. Some may remains snowless. The west and NW favoured along with high ground.

Not a big fan of the above it does give a good assessment where most snow will fall which is towards the N/W, however troughs & disturbances in the flow are not factored, thursday seems lively too! at least we have a raffle ticket, I'd rather have a chance then a no chance. Last week had a surprise cluster of snow showers coming up from channel, affecting parts of E Sussex & Kent not forecasted, with accumulations.

Just to show how 6 hours in model watching can change a wintry spell:
