The clusters give context to the mean

Not the GEFS though.If the 41% increases then I will take note but if it decreases as it does regularly either way then what's the point.

I'm new to all this model runs ect...

What are the times of the runs I have gathered GFS is around 6am, 4pm and 10pm however the rest seem to be spread out?!

Also I hear of GFS operational runs... Is this a side kick run to the main GFS?

Hope I'm not annoying anyone just looking to boost my knowledge as a newbie to all this

Cant believe all this eye candy we are getting, better late than never as they say, its like the good old days are back of the 70's and 80's. :good::cold:

Well how about this for a Genoa Low, on the ECM mean @D9 and D10, slap bang on the bay of Genoa and seemingly not going anywhere fast, and a lovely looking Scandi high. Looks like there could be re-loads after re-loads and a few records could well be broken for early March I would think.

Maybe some of us will get snowed in like the Waitrose Christmas advert if some of these charts confirm!:laugh:

All it takes is for one small patch of milder uppers to get into that flow & there's no snow at all for most.

I remember something a little similar in the 70s/80s, where the weather for the week showed lows dumbelling around each other over the UK/ Scandinavia, with snow forecast all week. A little bit of milder air got in from the South & it just carried on raining.

Well the Control run is following the 'eccentric' path forged by the Op.  Brilliant at 162, very snowy.....won't be there in the morning mind!

Incredibly, out to 174hrs so far and the 18Z ensemble mean is not dissimilar to the op.

Noticed that a few GEFS members have the high set up over Scandinavia which in the long run if we want a more sustained easterly that's the path we need. I'm not taking anything after 144 hrs on the GFS ATM. It's throw out different solutions every run. Looking forward to some biting cold days ahead ?

And the mean at 180 shows the earlier run has some sort of support?

All getting rather complex and messy on the 18z GFS after mid-week as the block drifts away toward Greenland. The upper trough / low over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday continues westward over the North Sea by early Thursday and leads to area(s) of low pressure to form ahead of it across the UK. The upper low loiters over the UK for rest of the week and into the following weekend, with surface lows rotating around it. Still cold enough air wrapping around the low pressure system for snow at lower levels. 

However, the upper troughing over Europe and associated 500mb lows spinning west on the northern flank between ridge and trough may not be well handled by the models for now, certainly there are differences between the models from mid-week, GFS seems to be on its own on bringing a deep 500mb low west over N Sea mid-week, though 12z EC does  lower heights from the east later in the week, with a surface low dropping SW over northern and western UK.

he's probably not the best example you could have used. he is an android built by weather computers and his brain is made of snow... :crazy: :D

Just to answer the other part of your question, no the GFS operational run is the GFS run. It gets referred to as the op, and there is also the control run. The ensembles is the other runs (18 I think, but don't quote me) that make up the full suite for that run and there will be a mean of all the ensembles. Hope that helps mate

It's been a very long time since I model watched.  But does the GFS still have a westerly bias?  It's always defaulting to Zonal in fantasy island.

Yep the GFS ensembles agreeing with it. I suppose it is a possibility though I'd rank it low on the table of likely outcomes, especially given the GFS is pretty bad at lowering heights too rapidly in blocking setup. The idea of a low coming SW nearby our region however does have good support from other models. It's just because the GFS weakens the upper high too fast it's all placed further north than other models. I strongly suspect the GFS will shift some way tomorrow. The others may also move a little further north, esp UKMO.

The good thing is.that, no matter how messy the output gets or how much the models wobble, the theme remains bitterly cold with lots of snow. Just shows what a great pattern we are in for significant snow, and it could last for some time!

I think for entertainment value, this run get's a 10 out of 10 from me.  For the likelihood of verifying beyond about 150, I would give it around a 2.  Trust me, this chart at 210 will not be appearing on the 0z (shame, looks an absolute snowfest). 

gfsnh-0-210.png?18

FI currently around 96, but I think at least the weekend moving into Monday should be pretty much nailed by tomorrow evening runs

There's a skull face over the UK in the above run.  Probably apt if this verified...
