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)

if we didn’t know about the SSW etc and were just taking the likes of ECM at face value then the prospects of a decent cold snap would be looking pretty slim,the high pressure to the SW is a constant pain this winter,so far...

Absolutely, they are 9,900 minutes nearer the reliable timeframe than a t+384 chart. It is precisely this that people view (D10 to D16 charts whatever the minutes are, lol) as a given and vent their frustrations as they do not recur in the way a coldie would like. I think we ALL must state timeframes and caveats involved as often as is possible in our posts to avoid the toy-throwing and take everybody reading as being a newbie to the Meteorology game. 

I think you are underestimating the intellects of quite a few people gtltw...IMO, habitual toy-throwers will always find some reason to dispense with their rattles: 'wrong' teleconnections, 'imprecise' MetO updates, FI charts, no-snow-in-my-backyard, you name it...?

Thankfully the ECM does get rid of the high although I got this horrid thought it may put up a bigger fight than shown. So cool zonal possible.

Relief at last . The ECM adding more amplitude upstream at day ten . Just the first signs of a change .

We now need this to countdown into the more reliable timeframe.

and digging se at day 10 in our longtitude ……...want to see that 'flatter pattern' in the transition period as advertised on both eps suites yesterday dispensed with

Yes, i have noticed a nice digging trough into the USA recently, that seems like it might do the trick.

Very nice looking ecm at day 10 this evening. Let’s try and remember that day 10 chart is the 17th of January so we still have it all to play for. As the winter of 1947 didn’t get going until the 23rd of January and never stopped until March. ??

This is true. And remember that last week of Jan and first week of Feb are historically the coldest two weeks of winter, if the right set up were to turn up that started around that time, and I'm not saying it will, chances are it could be epic.

 

After the 2nd week of Feb though things change a fair bit, it can certainly still snow and in abundance, we saw this last year of course so we know that, and there can still be a long cold spell, but less chance of the same sort of deep freeze.

not true 1946 -47 had lots of cold and snow in December and early Jan...anyway looking at the GFS and the parallel run lots of the cold seems to being pushed out into N. America

Never fear for I have found Winter lurking on the best model of them all...CFS! 

Lovely charts which I would sell my granny for and only at +402 hours...! 

Now that is the REAL DEAL!

Quite possibly. The NWP outputs and teleconnections are the most sophisticated tools we currently have these days. The rest are just tools. If only they looked at themselves in the mirror once in a while. Anyway, enough, I'm derailing quickly this thread myself.

This is what I'm expecting. As a few have already, I suggest that we may see a sudden change in the models for that period, around the last week of Jan. The SSW will not have been all in vain in spite of the longish delay in its effect on the trop.
