ECM would be classed today as the best run of all winter - brutal cold in England with snow on the increase day 9 & 10

Morning all in the UK. ECM/GEM all now in agreement with the UKMO at 144t. GFS out on its own. Both UKMO and ECM now in the shorter range show formation of a trough disruption from West of Ireland towards Brittany. UKMO has been consistent with this output for some days now. The second chart shows some backing of the flow across Southern Britain with cold air established ( not only at the surface but 850mb temps showing quite low negative values ). Not sure what will happen in the range 168-240t. Just important to get the cold air embedded and then see what happens.

The ECM proceeds to build a block of very cold air to cover most of Central and East Britain out to day 10.

It's definitely a much improved ecm this morning with quite a lot of potential going forward. I personally would prefer to see heights more profound to our North but this route could lead to a snowier outcome!!

I want to feel the snow falling on my head, and the cold wind blowing on my face rather than envisaging it on a chart that is always +7 days away 

It feels like it’s been a very very long winter of model watching already and it’s only mid Jan

I hope the ECM run verifies. The GFS run takes a very different route to cold. I think ECM holds the best prospect for sustained cold. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer for snow in  your part of the world. Just mild here in Vancouver with days of cloud and southerly winds. Seen the amazing snowfall currently going on again this morning back in Austria. Looks a dangerous situation developing out there.

without derailing the thread I commented the other day about my 1980s teletext days -The 2 ski resorts that always caught my attention for upper slope depth was Flaine & St Anton-

My higest depth recollection was 650 on the tops - may have been 1988 when they had the big avalanche-

Tuesday has it up around 550 already !!!

Bear with me on this and I wonder if the experts can help me on this...  When watching the SSW videos they talk about the warming slowing the west - east winds they keep the cold air 'locked' up and that the slowing allows the cold to spill south. Looking at the charts that look, from a normal day, that the atlantic would breeze through the weak pressure over the UK and not slide.  Is it a case of the models trying to pick up the cold air being released from the artic and struggling in the process?

Ext EPS theme continues - trough close to the U.K. and heights rising to the NW.

Expect DeBilt 2m T ensembles to be the best of the winter (they just keep getting better!)

End week 2 looks a bit more varied with signs of rising heights but also the euro trough not as far south as previous .....those clusters will show if a larger upper ridge to our nwor ne  is gaining support
