The Hunt for Cold continues 02/01/19

If you're hunting for cold potential in the model output, this thread is for you. But if you'd like to look more widely at the models, please head over to the general model discussion thread.

This is a model related thread, so a general, frequent theme of the model output is a given, but it will not be strictly enforced:

Some topic drift, humorous responses etc are fine

Posts likely to lead the thread off on an entirely off topic tangent are not ok. For example (but not solely limited to): Posts entirely or mainly about Met Office, BBC or media forecasts with little or no model context, and posts solely asking for a weather forecast in a specific location.

Posts which start with something like 'I know this is off topic but ...' are not ok.

Posts which break the forum guidelines are not ok (eg trolling, troll-hunting, weather guilt tripping, overly defensive/aggressive, abusive, disrespectful to others)

Not Quite right

The GFS on the 21st December at T384 was showing raging zonality and SW Winds with Dartboard lows for the 3-5th January 

I saved the images which are on my other laptop, will post them later when the little un has finished with the lappy

Erm what do you expect for T384.

For a laugh are there any verification stats for that far out anywhere?

But you have to agree, when Steve says the gfs will do this or that because of its bias, more often than not he is usually correct

The problem with this whole GFS vs METO vs ECM debate is that its not as simplistic as is stated on either side of the argument and yet again we see belittling of others views (not you to be fair).

GFS does verify slightly less well than some of the other models, but GFS gives us more data. So, the GFS opp might be a little bit less reliable the METO / ECM but with GFS we get too see a control run and 20 GEFS. This allows context and is important because its from there we get confidence or otherwise in the output. So, tonight we see a poor opp run for cold but by 180ish hours 5 GEFS go for a cold northerly and another 5 are not bad at all. This tells us that there is scope for improvement in the mid term. For this forum I'd contend that this extra info compensates for the slightly lower verification. If we were comparing ECM plus all ensembles with GFS plus all ensembles then its a slightly different argument, but ECM don't let us see these until later and METO give us naff all.

If people want to ignore the GFS so be it but its their loss and they shouldn't be disparaging about contrary views. I'm suspicious of ECM when it shows easterlies at range, but I don't ignore it.

That much it must have had a good day. Yeh if you take T384 as Gospel you're just as likely to think the Moon landing was faked.

Yh ok was being flippant 

GFS really should not go out further than 10 days anyways imho

Just wish this Slug would do one now tbh, endless cloudy days seem to be getting everyone down

Happy with those, lots of members between -5 to -10c from around day 8 onwards, there's even one member pretending to be cat in FI which is usually a precursor to a cold spell.

- No but seriously

whats the point of spending 10 mins to create a post that can then be reviewed for model accuracy for it to be removed.

Did the post, post?  I've checked & None of your content has been taken off Steve..

for god sake, how about some people actually discussing the model outputs rather than all the bum-licking/sniping/arguing that goes on in here...For so called 'grown up adults' posting in here, there are some disturbingly good impressions of 5 year olds 

AJ quote at its finest.  And yes, it's only the weather. No talk of walls, Brexit, beer or kebabs, just fun in the netweather forum asylum. All eyes on the ECM will which likely go against the odds and return to normal predictions come Monday.

I've seen the Met (or at least Met staff, when they still had the BBC contract) mention the GFS...they might not rate it too highly, but they sure don't dismiss it out-of-hand...?
