Its like a big tug of war- lucky we have a bit more puff !!

its still a midlands event- its just the bits around the fringes !

Looks like on this run, ppn incoming at T66 temps -2 to 0 during the whole period, so should be plenty of snow action around here.

The biggest issue for me at the moment is there is zero sign of any  much colder 850's pouring down to our east or continental Europe. Even at day 7/8 there's a serious lack of anything amongst the OP's and ensembles.

Be a shame if we get a scandi high in the 10 day range and the uppers are pathetic!

For all those in the south, don't get sucked in, it's the hope that kills you:D:D

I have to agree in your location, thats a little too far south for this set up, however i do hope you get something over next week or so.

There is South and then SOUTH - Bournemouth and other coastal towns are not really in the running, But Hills further inland  Dartmoor etc do have opportunity as does Mendips etc

It's a very vollitile set up they always are, these synoptics were common once , the usual places that got hit are ones being predicted today, only when the air stream was very potent was it more widespread which by today's' climate is very rare but still possible lol!

Early next week the Gfs 12z proves you don't need ridiculously cold uppers to get ice days through surface cold with max temps of 0c..plenty of cold on the Gfs 12z with a mixture of rain, sleet and snow, overnight frosts and ice..it's a lot more  wintry than we normally get!:santa-emoji:

I’m quite surprised that they are using ens at such a short range 

I guess it relates to the uncertainty re the ineteraction of the trough with the upper trough and also the small wedge of heights thrown up ahead of the slider which is varying in intensity 

what chance do us mere mortals stand to make a call !!

Well GFS is pretty good overall.

image.thumb.png.97ad0b210cf37c735757b80307d91e8f.png

A fair bit of potential here. I know people have noted the lack of cold uppers (aside from tomorrow's arctic blast) however this is because heights over Russia going to the arctic are pumping mild air as far as Svalbard at times.

In the 12z GFS there are signs of a change with cold air moving into the far NE Europe. Keep an eye out on this.

The blocking to our west doesn't build enough but GFS as per usual blows up a low in NE Canada affecting ridging of the Azores high.

So the ridging may be stronger then shown here.

Here are my highlights of the coming days from the Gfs 12z which show a very wintry spell with a mix of snow showers, persistent snow, ice days, severe frosts, high windchill, not your typical uk mild gunk is it!????:santa-emoji:

Gfs 12z still playing with the idea of blocking to the nne late on in the run . Does seem to becoming a recurring theme which hopefully bodes well in the next ten days or so

A look at the MR nwxtra model It's so marginal as the precipitation moves in early Sunday.Where the main band is expected on this run across N.Ireland/Wales  and middle England.dp,s temperatures hover around zero in the centre of the complex low before it pivots away south.

A snapshot of some charts

viewimage.pbx?type=nmmlo;date=20171207;tviewimage.pbx?type=nmmlo;date=20171207;t

viewimage.pbx?type=nmmlo;date=20171207;tviewimage.pbx?type=nmmlo;date=20171207;t

 

evaporative cooling under low thickness and still air could be the key thing here and a few locations could get lucky with quite a decent covering.Higher elevations such as N.Wales mts and the Peaks look favoured on this output.A few hours of snow possible.

With this marginality and still some differences in detail inter runs though we can see why no one can pin this down yet.

At short range the ops would normally take precedence given their higher resolution but its clearly a horrible forecast given this slider is unusual, most we see don't engage troughing so close to the UK and then the shortwave to the sw will run east and cause another complication!

Its so finely balanced that an error in phasing with the trough of just a couple of hours could cause big problems with the forecast.

That is much better than i was expecting!!thought it would be slightly more marginal than that!!

the gefs running at 32 km surely aren't going to upset anyone !

the eps at 14 km are similar res to ukmo op. I suspect that's why they are using them.

Someones bound to get lucky with snow as the slider heads se then remaining on the cold side of that as it phases going east and then as the shortwave to the sw runs east and phases this could bring yet more snow as we see the pivot but where that might be is guesswork at the moment!

Of course some areas have a higher margin for error and those at present are.........:D:cold-emoji:
