GFS ensembles for Holland, some members going -15, -17 uppers there, and that is the air that on a direct easterly would be heading straight for us, so you never know, GEM might be onto something after all. I would be interested to see exactly how these ensembles sit as compared to the ECM suite, in fact I suspect the ECM operational to be a big mild outlier.

So what your saying is that the ECM should be showing colder uppers? As u said it being a mild outlier.?

Yesterday you claimed once a downgrade started it never stops.... and hey presto now your talking about the ECM as if it's right.

 

The final outcome will be blend of all the outputs as per usual

I wouldn't put words into my mouth. Where in my post did I say or imply that the ecm was correct?

I really hope the ecm ensembles are better than the op. The op is cold, later in the run, but it's also painfully dry.

Didn't the ECM backtrack a few weeks ago from an easterly. It's one run, and from what I've seen today / tonight from the other models I'm starting to be a bit hopeful!

Just be interesting to see if the ECM operational stands out as an outlier or not within its ensemble suite. It may not be of course but there should a split, some going for more undercut, and some showing the Atlantic going over the top, I'm interested in seeing in which group the operational sits.

D5 AND D9 CROSS MODEL COMPARISON BETWEEN THE 0z AND 12Z RUNS 

I thought that it would be very useful to focus on today's changes in the model output in the more reliable period for 5 days out and then 9 days out to see the extent of the upgrades. I have copied across the 0z charts from my post this morning and then show the 12z charts below that. The ECM only does 24 hour interval charts, so I used the closest chart available.

Please note: The 0z charts were copied from before and can only be viewed individually while all the 12z charts can be run through in a single view.

D5 0z cross model charts for 0100 on Tuesday, February 7th (T+120 unless stated):                          

                          GFS 0z                                                        ECM 0z                                                        UKMO 0z                                                   GEM 0z                                                      NAVGEM 0z

Mostly small changes at this stage. The Scandinavian HP is more intense on most of the later runs and the main LP in the Atlantic is either slightly weaker and/or slightly further west. The biggest upgrade is in the GEM and the smallest in the GFS.

Now we see the changes. All 5 models show substantial upgrades in just 12 hours. Generally deeper cold and a westward movement of the entire pattern.   

Finally the 850s also D9 cross model charts for 0100 on Saturday, February 11th (T+216 unless stated):

                           GFS 0z                                                       ECM 0z                                                      GEM 0z                                              GEFS ens mean 0z                                  JMA 12z (Feb 1st) T+228

                             GFS 0z                                  ECM 12z  (for Feb 11th 1300) T+216                              GEM 12z                                            GEFS ens mean 12z                              JMA 12z (Feb 1st) T+228

Generally lower 850s with the biggest change from the GEM and we know that their chart for a day earlier is even more impressive. Perhaps the most remarkable thing is that all the models upgraded at least to some extent in just 12 hours. They must surely be factoring in some much stronger signals for today. I see that many of the ensembles have also got a good deal colder. This is so close to being what all us coldies and snow lovers have been craving. It just cannot fail - surely!                                      

EDIT:  This post took me about an hour to prepare but I see that there are another 3 pages in that time!

But there are features that can pop up within the short range. Features that won't be shown yet especially on the ecm. Of course when you have runs like GEM it's pretty obvious where features will pop up.

Hello and welcome :) I was just referring to some comments on here about the cold pool to east at day 10 and the false assumption that it would head towards the UK.

Oh I'm making no assumptions. I was liking the look of day 10 for my central European location. Not saying it will get to uk.

I wasn't referring to you Seasonality. I know you were talking in relation to your European location.

There are again waaaay too many off topic posts being made in this thread. The posts in here should be related to the model output only. Other snippets, moans, ramps, banter etc need to go into the model banter thread:

And for things like media forecasts, general chat about the winter etc etc, take a look in the winter forum as there are dozens of active threads over there

Thus far the ECM has played virtual second fiddle to the UKMO - yesterdays T96 didnt have a deep an upper air cold poil diving through Europe -today it has

The good thing is the OP 'should' be a clear outlier at day 6 & 7 as the other runs may well bring those deep cold uppers through holland making a significant difference to the T2ms

Its been UKMOs winter- lets hope these past 3 days & the forth coming few are its crowning glory!!!

UkMO day 7 is DEEP cold

Fair one , that is the first day 7 UKMO chart that you can actually tell cold weather is coming - it's not the best overview but UKMO day 7 looks mighty fine. 

As does this showing the ECM op as a warm outlier up to day 8.

One thing I forgot to mention - the key thing about the GFS run is not just the extension of blocking west but also that the vortex lobe over Asia stays well and truly trapped.

Most other models have moved away from that over the past couple of days but you never know, they could be overdoing the development of the associated trough and its ability to push north. How's that for glass-half-full :drunk-emoji::laugh:

Right in the middle - but perhaps a bit slower 144- 192.

Doesn't look an outlier to me, it looks the same as the mean more or less.

Yes you can see the two groups around D5/6, Op not an outlier in fact but is sitting with the milder members. By D7 all are singing from the same hymn sheet...the cold one!:D

There are some far colder runs in there though of course, just like the GFS also has its colder ensemble members.

Agreed. Was looking at the charts, I think a scandi high bringing a brief easterly then settling into high pressure centred over the North of the UK would not be unreasonable, if following the ECM. Repeat 2013?

Ecm 12z is an outlier.

And bounces against the suite.

The advanced now blocking' challenges the assumptions of easterly inflow and westwards migration of deep (infer) cold.

It's looking lively and primed for a decent cold interaction of uk placement. ...obviously now the Scandinavian settlement of heights are knats whisker of fruition of eventuality. ..

But its the best its been for an eternity. 

Long feed/vertical feed thats the defining' differences.

Here is 192 from OP mirroring the mean really the bigger cluster is with ECM op it seems - the latter frames of ECM is bitterly cold it must be said although dry less so to the SE. 

Not an outlier^
