Winter wonder is coming!!

[Fourty Point Three Degrees]

What are peoples hopes and thoughts on this coming winter? The jet stream has been crazy this year so I am thinking a stormy Winter with some very warm December days. And beast from the East may just possibly may get an attack the way blocking has been so far this year.

Cold winter is what I want. But I'm sensing a zonal, not too stormy winter, and probably a cooler than usual zonal winters

Hoping for 30 c and sun ,UK winters are crap mostly .

Been as we're now approaching solar minimum and last Winter was the coldest and most snowy since 2013 (many places didn't get much or any snow until the end of Winter/beginning of Spring I know, but here we had some snow every month I think, plus a big snow event in early December) so I'm hopeful that it was the start of a trend of colder and more snowy Winters and therefore I feel there's a fairly good chance that next Winter could be just as good or better.

You should move to the tropics Moki.

I thought until recently a cold winter was likely but I'm trending back towards exceptionally mild now. Probably some insanely rapid jet and Bartlett high likely.

It might be better simply to say: I don't know? That's what I'm doing...

Cold, cold, cold, cold and more cold. May even be cold.

That we could stop talking about winter in early September!!!

Yep, far too early for this, we're barely a week into Autumn. We'll revisit this in a month when we may have the slightest chance of actually having a half-decent stab in the dark at how winter will pan out. We might as well have threads open for next summer otherwise...
