Yes - he wasn't old, 40's maybe early 50's...I liked his forecasts without having that cold bias.

Latest ec seasonal shows the mean winter storm track a bit far north to provide a wintry nirvana - Scotland could do well from this and I believe that each month sees the blocking to the north pushing the jet a little further south ....... still in the game based on this - good signs to our se but not necessarily to our ssw

Have to say that looks remarkably like the German global model was forecasting for this winter...and out of all the seasonal models was one of the least favourable for cold, hope it just doesn't come to fruition.

Netweather is not the only weather site you know.

That is pretty dire, screams of Northerly toppler type stuff as opposed to Easterlies.

I don't think he's ever written the Netweather winter forecast as far as I know but did his own personal LRF's (maybe somebody can enlighten me)...people come and go and have a life away from a computer.

This El Nino is on life support, it is barely able to get mild air to the west coast of North America, stronger ones just blast the warmth halfway to Hudson Bay. 

Despite the windy frontal event approaching, the charts look rather devoid of energy in general, a lot of stale old arctic air sitting around all over the place. This reminds me a bit of Dec 1986, a month when if I recall correctly the weather in eastern North America went just about totally dormant for a long period of time, unusual where I was living then to have days and days of calm weather and no precip in December. Anyway, the other similarity would be Dec 86 was relatively mild, I see Blast lurking, so he's the authority on Jan 1987.

Gonna post in here as to not derail the MOD thread. But I'm still not convinced about the cold spell showing for next week. Get these cold charts down to 72/96hrs and I'll star to get excited.

The charts aren't anywhere near 96hrs yet, so bit early with your smugness lol 

Since this cold spell was picked up last week, it was scheduled for this weekend, which if I do my maths correctly, is well within 72 hours. No smugness, just experience that tells me that anything after 144hrs (sometimes sooner) is mostly a pipe dream.

To say the El Nino is on life support is wrong it's still of moderate strength in the equatorial Pacific.

It's impact just hasn't filtered through to other areas yet because it formed a bit later. It's effects will be particularly felt later on in the winter.  It is then forecast to strengthen through 2019 so its not on life support.

Read from the above post onward, you will see that the models were showing the cold to start from Sunday/Monday. As we got closer to the start time of the cold spell, 'this weekend', it has been watered down. That's why I said "Get these cold charts down to 72/96hrs and I'll star to get excited." Which never happened!

Well over the last decade we've probably had cold and snow in December as much as January - 2009 (2 snowy episodes), 2010 and even last year provided small events around the country. January over the last 10 years has been relatively been poor, 2010 and 2013 standout but not much else.

In days gone by yes if a cold winter was to unfold this generally happened after Xmas - in my lifetime largely 1981/82 and 2010/11 the exceptions
