GROUNDHOG DAY!!! 

I sincerely hope this SSW gets it's act together and delivers us a Winter.. I'm running out of steam 

[Frosty hollows]

I'm quite happy with the benign weather. My building project is coming along nicely. If the rain could hold off for another couple of weeks we might get a roof on

[Leon1]

Well I guess that GFS 6z lifted everybodies spirits but I remember someone saying when it was showing bad output that we should ignore it because it's useless lol! I'm happy with the run but not getting excited until it gets into the accurate range.

Bright shiny object in the Southern sky alert! Just for a few minutes though as gloomy again now. 8.7c and breezier than for ages.

I wouldn't write it off! Sleet.... that's probably under-doing it tbh

Unsurprisingly, it is here too!  Not going to make it to the bottom of the rain gauge though.

I was gonna say I was wondering why you didn't mention the amounts of snow just the sleet icons!  

[matt111]

SUN!   

[Leon1]

Give me strength, now they're arguing about GIFs in the model thread. 

[Mapantz]

Fair play to my WXSIM forecast.. it said "A slight chance of rain" and we have fine drizzle. Temp 10.4°C.

[Glenosnow]

As posted above Groundhog day...grey dank skies...rinse repeat...please please can we have something of interest soon.

C'mon SSW you know you want to ....

[ARTDEMOLE]

Damp. Dull.Dismal. 11.3c. Humidity 90% Rh.

[matt111]

A few spots of rain just now amongst the continuous gloom. 9.8°C

[CheesepuffScott]

I can remember just after Christmas when GFS was showing a cold ENE flow with -10 to -15 uppers around the 11th, now it's the 21st

It's gone from 16 days away to 10 days away in a time span of 12 days. That means, if I can still do maths that if it keeps being pushed back at the same rate, we will get very cold weather on... 

the 27th January! Remember you heard it here first lol! 

[Mapantz]

It's a shame it's so far out, but the FV3 shows so many waves coming in from the Northerly direction which would produce snow showers and longer spells of snow for most, if not all of the British Isles. Wonderful looking charts!
