Cold hunt - models and chat

Message added by Paul

Please ensure that the majority of your posts in this thread are model related - a theme of model discussion needs to run throughout.
Some off topic chat and reactions are ok, but please use other, more relevant threads for entirely off-topic chat (such as snow reports, met office forecasts and general chat/moans about the weather or this winter).

For more no banter and just model discussion please head to the new focused model thread - this is also a great place to post (or cross post) your longer model summaries or thoughts around the models.

this has been a very typical 1990s winter with the uk high pressure dominated and mild 

I keep seeing this, but my recollection is that the 2000s were worse than the 1990s, until we reached the end of the 2000s at least.

Down south the 1990s were far better for cold and snow: Feb 1991, 1994, Jan/Feb 1996 immediately spring to mind and in Nottingham Dec 1996 and Dec 1997 brought some good falls of snow.

The period from Jan 2001 to Dec 2009 brought nothing but very transient falls for the south. That was when the term "large teapot" came to the fore!

Problem is the main ban of precipitation will have cleared most areas by then, this is good in terms of chances of snow showers settling though

Well this is 7am... timing crucial.

234 GFS has more than a passing resemblance to the ECM at 240.... like it.

Good output this morning compared to yesterday. And great run so far in the 6z, here T222:

If, and it is not certain yet, next weeks easterly is over, no matter, the background signals and SSW downwelling are still there and will make themselves felt, as in this run.

When do you think we'll firm up on the prospect for next weeks easterly?

How can you possibly have 100% agreement on an evolution 264 hours away, especially in the current atmospheric volatility we are experiencing?

Here is the GEFS MJO plot for balance. Barely gets into phase 6 before falling back. Of course, it is only the GEFS extended range, so nothing set in stone there, and a weakening phase 6 is far better than a strengthening phase 4 that we are currently seeing!

Both with high pressure to our north west, bang on when the seasonal models had this developing. Interesting.

The 264hrs charts looks VERY close to the ECM ensembles clusters showing the Azores High ridging towards Iceland and a upper high nosing down from the arctic. Doesn't yet look super sustainable but this would basically a brucie bonus before the set-up gets even more conducive for the first week of Feb and if we are lucky the two set-ups could well entwine.

I think it's about a 10% shot now, so should probably either be ruled out by the 12z runs, or ruled in tomorrow.  The latter unlikely though.  

I think the Greenland high option is becoming clearer as the way forward.

No I haven't got another chase in me, the mods can't get it right at t96 so why an earth would they nail it from 240hrs? 

The downwell has flopped at the end of the day we all know it can happen but just have a feeling it's one of the years, 

As for next week it's not really a cold spell let's be honest, having to go high on a hill in January to find snow doesn't tick my box and definitely doesn't class as a cold spell!
