Cold hunt - models and chat


Paul
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.

That small low on the southern tip of Greenland has now gone on this run so its hard to place to much faith in op runs when small scale features are placed in different positions or disappear on the next run.

Possibly, but i don't overly get concerned with OP runs when they are big outliers, as long as the GEFS have reasonable support for the EPS in the 144-240 range, i will be happy.

The key thing with the ensembles is to watch the trend, if you start getting more and more members per run jumping ship and joining that outlier OP, then you 9/10 have a big problem, as we saw with the easterly.

Still not too sure what to make from the 18z GFS. It looks ok to me, just a variation of the broad theme. Little shortwave feature extending from the upper low to our east may limit what is possible this run. but broadly looks fine.

Weatherman on BBC weather just said "No Easterly anytime soon "

Indicated a Southerly jet stream with repeated sliders.

Below average temperatures but not majorly below.

Id have thought that anyone with enough interest in weather to be browsing this forum full of lunatics would be more than aware by now that the BBC don't know their a*se from their elbow

Well the trough hasn’t dropped as far south as my lateral thoughts, but......

They also said that today will be a 'dry day for most' and ended up with a lot of the country seeing some snow showers...

I wouldn't trust BBC walking my dog up the hill never mind the weather.

Since they switched from METO to Meteogroup they have been nothing but a pile of tosh

Not everybody saw those snowmaggedon type of snow showers today that delivered huge amounts of snow, up to a whopping 3 or 4 cms!!! 

The beeb have been fairly consistent and have not shown the wild swings in the forecasts that the cherry picked charts have been shown here this winter. Its worth keeping an eye on them to keep people's expectations grounded.

Yes, you always can sense it when there was a problem, last years Easterly, the dodgy op runs were few and far between and had little ens support, there was a mean Easterly from a long way out reeled all the way in without too many hiccups

Well a slightly more convoluted way of getting into the cold spell and more risky (shortwave fun and games) but a pretty solid run coming up, indeed may turn into a really great run down the line ad the Arctic looks supportive this run.

Not bad at all at 216.  Could we see a cross polar flow on this run (I know I'm asking for a lot!)

There is that snowy set-up at 216hrs that the ECM ensembles have been highlighting for a few suites now, not too exceptional this run but decent snowfalls, probably 3-5 inches on that NE edge of the precip core would be my guess, but sbnbow extends the whole way south eventually.

Small steps forward...that’s what we want. If we wake up to -300c easterlies from Hawaii.....ignore the runs

Question for Kold weather - is this evolution akin to the ECM Control run you mentioned earlier?

Yes. Obviously not hallucinating as much as @bluearmy thought!

At 240 we have -10's across most of the country with -12's knocking on the door

Kinda, but instead the low blows up in a big way and does a anticlock-wise rotation through northern France then back into the SE, basically 36hrs of snow, but I'd guess its the same feature that the ECM ensembles are picking up.

In line with expectations. All we need do now is countdown to one of Nicks shortwave dramas.
