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.

As per my earlier post, you could read anything into that.  Not buying!

I think we can safely say its an atlantic trough, the question marks are is it coming up against a stable Scandi block giving battlegrounds or is the trough poorly orientated and domineering of the pattern dragging up tropical air, and how mobile is the pattern?

Huge differences out to 102 with the Vortex over Newfoundland. HUGE. Much higher pressure.

It’s not a cold signal with winds from a southerly quarter?

No, not really, it's a mean chart for a whole week 3 weeks in the future, and who knows what it is made up of!  Because we can't see the individual runs.  ignore it!

For what it is worth my first long look at the anomaly charts for a couple of weeks and it seems the Atlantic will be the main player through the 6-14 day period. Just a small signal of some ridging towards Greenland from an area, unusual one, NW UK and Norway.

Anyway my notes and links below

Mon 4 feb

Ec-gfs and ec now has main trough down e’ern seaboard usa and ridging is from azores towards n’ern Europe; gfs is more trough orientated including uk with ridging s of this over Europe from w-e, marked troughing similar place to ec but general w’ly flow from off us e coast into uk and Europe (s of w). ec has higher contour heights uk than gfs (often seems this way)

Noaa mon evening 6-10 shows  still some ridging towards Greenland from nw uk/Norway region but no signal for actual height rises, last evening this was a feature; its major trough fits the ec version.

Effectively there is a general idea of some kind of atlantic flow, quite strong out of n America beneath the major trough e of states.

So an unsettled/changeable spell with a mix of Tm/Pm airmasses, no major cold showing

As I said, huge differences in pressure over Newfoundland.

Looks like one has just progressed a tiny bit quicker, the only big changes look over the pacific sector, somewhere near Alaska.

And more likely so see Ice cream than ice based on the GFS.

Are you saying that's a warm/mild chart? That's what your ice cream remark suggests.

I stated there was huge differences. There are, and at such a short time frame too. Thanks.

Yes your probably right in November and December we had some nice blocks set up but it didn’t deliver cold with it being to early on in winter . The ssw seems to of put even more energy to are NW just shutting the door on any long lasting blocking . We might get lucky towards the end of feb/early March but it obviously has to be that bit more potent.

There is one of those Ice cream cones with a bubble gum on top, as for the chart, i cant see any of those 2 runs showing any proper cold before 240 at a push, much of a muchness to me.

I really have no idea what your point is. None at all.

144 on the 18z is baltic and wouldn't take much adjustment to make it very snowy. If you were outdoors eating ice cream in that, you'd be considered insane. Actually, maybe I've just diagnosed something!

1000000% no confidence in UKMO T144 . In any other year you would have had confidence in it but not this winter

I can’t recall a winter where almost every single major long range model has called this winter so badly. Their validity is at best mediocre. Far too much faith has been placed into this by many.

Granted the SSW has raised many of our expectations markedly, sadly the results we were hoping for haven’t materialised.

Not the winter many of us hoped for when the long range models were predicting such positive signals for coldies back in November.

Time to look to spring now, let’s hope for some early warmth in the models in the next few weeks. Can we nudge a 14/15 deg by the end of the month...hopefully.

I think come back in about a week and things will look a lot different whether that’s good or not remains to be seen, there’s no getting away from these poo looking charts at the min though unfortunately. It would be nice to get a proper cold spell before the end of winter though before we really start looking forward to warmth

You're trusting the uppers at this range?? Fair play to you!
The synoptical set up is baltic. Could quite easily be a long fetch northerly!
