Apparently it has been decided by the general council that in future any trough/depression approaching the UK from the north west will henceforth be called a trigger shortwave slider.

There's always some fad every year.

Anyone remember "torpedoes"?

it will turn milder on Monday 11th, about 5th GFS run on the bounce now, EC is even worse, turns milder on Sunday 10th, 2 and a half day Northerly arrives Thursday night, snow for north and east, then wet and windy from Sun/Mon

thought it may be memorable, but no just a typical cold shot for TMW

Todays forecasts for later this week - wind direction seems to have been modified to more of a North Westerly!

Anyway, Northerlies never really any good for us down South unless the air is bitterly cold.

I always look East for wintry weather into Kent.

But, nothing much happening in terms of very cold pool of air out East just yet!

Still looking good in terms of Northern blocking, but how long will it last?

oh dear .......now you see why the beeb and other outlets simply dont go much past 4 or 5 days

What wasnt mentioned in the Mad thread yday when Countryfile forecast was mentioned is that any Meto updates will have their Mogreps and Glosea models factored in. Hence why Meto have remained relatively cautious.

Those models are obviously showing cold/mild 'mix' with threat of snow shower events but no real prolonged snow/cold event.

Can a shortwave slider blowtorch a slug?

It depends. Right now, it's a case of 'as you were' because of a lack of data. But the outlook screams potential. We are on a knife-edge between a trigger low or a flattening of the pattern. So eyes down, because more runs are needed.

ECM continues to disappoint somewhat...not for the first time we see numerous small areas of low pressure here there and everywhere but no strong PV and no sign of heights building to the north east. No 'real' cold either other than the 1-2 wonder Am air mass starting from Friday.

I see the end of the GFS 06z run has created a bit of feverish speculation.

Yep seems to be a trend - the 6z and 18z seems to be delivering the goods in FI...I'd take that.

It certainly seems that way, Froze. But, given all the 'trends that never were' that teased us so badly last year, I'll think I'll temper my excitement until the 1987-esque block comes within a reliable time-frame...:unsure2:

Until then, there's still the upcoming weekend's 'not quite Snowmageddon' to enjoy!:yahoo:

There are some interesting possibilities for cold and snow fans. 

But the southerly track of some of those vicious lows in other FI ensemble members has to be a concern for wind and rain in the south-west, even if it is just a brief transitional phase.

If that chart were to verify exactly like that, it would bring rain to Southern counties, snow for parts of Wales and the North-Midland's. On that basis, I do not like it one iota!

Northerlies are no good for us in Central England either, but sometimes the Cheshire gap delivers some snow.

At present I don't get the excitement about the cold snap later this week, as it's far too early to predict who, or if anyone will have snow.

Logged on this morning for the first time in ages. Had no idea there was a chance of snow at the end of the week which was a nice surprise. Logged on again this evening and it all seems negative and downbeat in the model thread. Somebody tried posting words of encouragement and mentioned there's a chance snow in every region except the south west. Ouch, :(

I will add that ALL affordable Davos wooden sledges have vanished off Ebay in the past few days, missed my chance again. They'll all be back on next week after the Non-Snow-Event is over......(I am trying reverse psychology on the weather, again)
