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.

ECM still going broadly for the larger deeper low on this run at 120hrs with warmer 850hpa temps moving into the SW. Not much of anything on Tuesday in terms of pressure drops for any possible channel/France low but hard to know if any front s do make it is here.

144hrs and the cold air is blasted totally out of the country. However the core was quite cold still at 120hrs so we will have to wait and see what the raw data looks lovely like.

Probably one of the least inspiring of the options on the table but at least with this just about anything is possible.

ECM always seems to go against cold... I think it's just a negative nancy and that we should all look to ICON to guide us!!

It's just Abit Meh compared to some of the over night runs. I'd bet it's still snowy for the north...but a boring run/not snowy at all for the south compared to what some of the models are showing!

Just one option out of many still.

Yes but it’s often correct when it does. 8 times out of 10 thr model showing the least cold option seems to be correct.

Given that the UKMO looks good, the GFS PARA and ICON are stunning and the gfs 18z looked good, wouldn't you say the ECM is somewhat out on its own? We seem to have cross model agreement on a cold/snowy setup APART from the ecm?

 

Personally not buying the negativity the ECM seems to be sending our way!

Was just about to say the same the ECM looks very on its own...

Why are people ALWAYS trying to pick the negatives out of things. We got enough negativity in this world!

All options are for n the table including this, will be luck of the draw. I wonder where this will sit in relation to the ensembles. Have to imagine at the top again?

Anyway I'd guess the ECM is shocker for the south but better up north but we will see, waiting to get more info as it updates the other parameters

ECM you have to try and bring down the mood whenever GFS cheers us up....

Snow line is just North of London west to east 

Terrible run for us Southerners...nothing on Tuesday then cold rain, not even front edge. Truely the worst case scenario there!!

Great run for Midlands north, cold holds just long enough. Bham northwards remains as snow.

Negativity  (aka scepticism and realism). Most have received diddly squat this winter!

It just feels like, to me, that we get some really good charts and runs all night, then one ECM comes along and ruins it all and because it's so highly regarded as "the best" people think that it couldn't possibly be wrong.. All the lesser models agree with the ones I listed in my previous post that the outlook remains cold/snowy AND the Met office really have put their cards on the table. I may be making a very bold move but I'm almost tempted to disregard the ECM completely at this point, as other models are clearly seeing something it is not.

 

Here's to a great 6z gfs!

Icon looks fantastic for next week. Wasn’t it the flagship for the downgrade of the easterly in the last week or so!? If it was. You have to certainly take it very seriously for the start of trends.

And thats how someone with a level head and is seeing all the data presented to them makes a decision.

That said.. There is nothing stopping the ECM being right. But for now, we put it to one side wait the 06z and 12zs today before making any BOLD comments about crap runs.

Detail still to be ironed out reg snow potential next week, And I wouldn't trust any runs hemispherically past day 5 currently.. Nice to see -17c surface temps for the highlands though!

Yes, don't get me wrong, ECM could make every other model look like a fool and then there would have to be some sort of inquest as to how every other model in the world and the highest regarded weather forecasters (MO) got it wrong! As long as the 6z and the para stays on course in a couple of hours, I really don't think we should even take notice of what the ECM has said this morning. Maybe ECM had too much to drink last night, was Friday after all..

In balance the GFSP and the GEM look very similar to the ECM pressure and placement wise, so it's not on its own for weds-thurs at all. 

GFS ensembles suggests just about anything is possible still...

ECM ensembles should give a good steer to what I said most likely.

Regardless great for north, terrible for south, ok for Midlands from the 00z ECM.
