My fiver is going on a dry high pressure sat right over the UK with the snow stopping to the east and the only thing falling from the sky being low flying toys.

[SP1986]

all of this will be localised to Northwest England... everywhere else will see severe cold and epic blizzards

Turned professional last week after placing several bets that snow weather warnings for the north west would fail miserably at the last moment and we’d end up with nothing.

i soon realised how easy this betting malarkey was.

I catch your drift (even though we haven't had one), sounds like you have accumulated a lot of snnn.... cash.

The Beast from the east almost always turns out to be a chicken with a limp.

I wonder whether it will have enough oomph to change the fortunes of our bedraggled region

Latest GFS has the cold starting to creep in by Friday now

[SP1986]

GFS 18z is uh. take it or leave it, up to 140 hours. Although I suspect it will look better later on in the run.

Yeah cold & dry to start with, but the building blocks for the cold spell begin within 3 days now so looking good.
