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.

We are just about to endure the classic mild spell before an easterly. The goods are coming.

Is that a good thing or do you have evidence to back up this statement.  Sorry dude but this is exactly why this thread has gone downhill ever since the mods split it

That’s true but this forum is been ruined with statements like the one I’ve quoted.  Some of you may not like me for what I’m saying BUT I’m only stating what all of the more experienced members are thinking.  It’s a model thread and we having to sift through hundreds of statements like this just to get an idea of what the weather going to be like.  I’m only stating THE TRUTSh.  Enough is enough now.  This thread has gone downhill big time recently

Well if you call some of the most knowledgeable and best posters in the business as going downhill, I'm somewhat bemused! Personally I think we have the best of both worlds, namely some astute weather and climate experts, and with a bit of light hearted banter threw in for good measure. Hell I would say netweather forum is amongst the best out there, certainly nothing else as good in this country

Out to 120 on the pub run, and it looks like the GFS has been on the orange juice. No amplification increase, in fact, it's less amplification north of our locality. Early doors, no improvement, if anything just an inter-run disimprovement!

I would not agree marked improvement with that low in Atlantic not phasing.

Yeh, good point, after spending quite a bit of time on American forums, it's blatantly obvious they hate it to. Literally everyone says it over blows everything, from dartboard lows to massive amounts of snow, to non at all. ECM has far more credentials, which is why I'm so bemused as to why so many seem to rate it on here, especially as the 18 and 6z have far less data input into it

Decent so far on the pub run T156:

Lots of angst upstream, though, probably best taken as a step in the right direction.

Aware of that, but it's no use without amplification north of us! Of that, there is none!

GFS 18z shows us a way of getting some cold Euopean/arctic air. A backstop high forms to the west of Ireland but it needs to develop quickly and get the the low stuck to the West of Greenland. A high would then build and set the way to a cold spell from there.

A massive ask but the 18z is at least a little more interesting then recent woeful runs. Lets hope we can get some cold European air.

This is where grammar and punctuation are crucial. Your words could mean two completely opposite sentiments, and I have no idea which.

Please clarify.

The amplification happens after the low slides this is the area to watch FV3 slides the low quicker net result more amplified run.

I'm not sure whether its because people rate it higher or whether its because it has much more data available.

If I could view the ECM ensembles as quickly as the GFS, it ran 4 times a day and was able to look 2 weeks ahead, I would focus much more on the ECM.
