Far too many early celebrations in here and people are already deciding what outfit to stick on the snowman in their back garden !

Just because the current outputs look good doesn’t mean some new variables currently not seen might appear later on.

I’m not trying to being a misery but the really cold air is still not in the more reliable timeframe , and the best part can only happen once we get to see some stronger blocking which is still not a given .

As a coldie I’m happy with the trends but have been on this forum  for a very long time and have seen these premature celebrations turn very ugly if things don’t go as planned .

So cautiously optimistic is about as excited as I’m going to be for the timebeing !

 

Well said!  some of these charts are 10-12 days away and could be vastly different come tomorrow

Hello All,

Watching the charts and discussion with interest.

One of the things I am interested in is the displacement of the jet stream in about 10 days time. I seem to remember reading somewhere that this type of plunge would end up being corrected northwards, as charts move into the reliable.

Is that correct? Why? 

[Ali1977]

UKMO at 120, surely that’s another upgrade.

Another day forward for the cold to come in if this is correct

UKMO solid, 144 will be revealing as to how that low acts

what time point generally do the experts on here start to believe is 'reliable' out of interest?

Not perfect but I prefer it to the icon because it looks cleaner, once again annoying we can’t see past this!

Looks like the Azores high will edge it east slightly. Next low close to Iceland should track SE wards can't see the high holding on like it has done for the past few weeks

When you squint and swear blind you can see snowflakes in the lampost light.

We don't have access to the jet profile on the UKMO. If it's taking a NW/SE track it's good from that point, if not...

I'd generally say t144 to t168 as a max for the most reliable output

Anything beyond this is more likely than not to change

Dont think the word experts is the right way to discribe them lol

 

ukmo 144 is a cracker

[northwestsnow]

UKMO looks excellent to me..

The next low at 144 is heading SE..

Can I remind folk that this thread is solely for discussing model output. If your post in here is just banter it will likely be moved or just disappear. Thank you.

[Weathizard]

I am no expert just have a long and painful experience of model watching. The absolute maximum would be 5 days but I would say 2/3 was safer. If you look at other forecasts on TV, for example, take note of how far they are going ahead that will give you an idea of how confident the professionals are. Basically, if it can go wrong it will.
