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.

I think it was that thread when he talked about the hadley cell expanding due to climate change causing our winters to be crap and was ultimately thinking of leaving the UK as a result as he doesn't see much change.

Great, let's all leave the UK cause we could have a sequence of mild winters, only problem now is with brexit, no bugger will have us

I think we will be ok one of the winters in the next few years as we are now at solar min.

Hmm, not sure about that after this winter.  Not saying there won't be any cold but deep cold is a different matter.

Was thinking somewhere closer to home though. I've got family in Canada, and trust me they get fed up with brutal cold. I mean I've had a couple of weeks here and there , and Yeh it's fine, till you spend several hours outdoors in it. And don't forget the NHS Don, we are the envy of the world for having one, you gorra pay for it all out there.

No two winters will be the same as with our summers ,it just this one has so far been very disappointing for a lot of us but there is still time for a change to more wintery weather although it's not looking that way for the next 5 days ,beyond that there's still the chance for the block which will be to our East to migrate to a more favourable position

Well said young man, with you all the way, and as Feb as pointed out, low solar minimum will only serve to increase our chances of some colder winters in the next few years

This is slightly more exciting, a little more amplification, could be a good ending.

Looks poor to me?

Unless i'm missing something, even with the big PV lobe shifted towards Siberia we still see the never ending soul destroying energy moving across the Atlantic.

Pacific amplification of heights must be something to do with the mjo?

ECM 12z overview - promises much but delivers little.

Still think late Feb with MJO  phase 8 lag is our last hope now Feb..

After some promise the ECM quickly hits the buffers and sinks without trace by day 9.

Flat upstream and really by day ten we’ve reached rock bottom !

Yes unfortunately though, everything just looks like hitting the buffers lately including my morale.

The models are again torture to view today (as usual for coldies this particularly feeble excuse for winter) but the background signals (don't laugh) are apparently still good with suggestions of high pressure to the N / NE but in the meantime February is dribbling away..still I'm not throwing in the towel since we still have late feb and the first half of March to go yet but most of this winter so far belongs in the bin..hope things change!

It's funny how a mild Winter convinces some that we'll never see a cold one again. What would we have made of the 1920s, 30s and even most of the 70s. No climate change scare back then to blame it on. There has been nothing unusual about the weather this Winter, there have been many like it. Even decades and centuries ago there were plenty of UK Winters like this one.

True, but given we have past solar min now, we could do with a decent one soon, just to steady the fears.

Think i would speak for many feeling utterly shortchanged again for this poxy effort of a winter for the UK ..

Its likely not what people want to hear but i honestly believe next one will be better, the QBO with a bit of luck will be easterly which will do no harm at all.

Im struggling to think of any other reason than QBO as to why its been so awful, only other culprit i can think of is SSTS?

For the next 12 days or so we have a wave train of HP cells circumnavigating around the NH, the Pacific Hadley Cell the inspiration for this train. Within that time frame, I see little chance of a Russian High moving west.

After D12 we see the GEFS stop that train near the UK and ATM suggestion are that the energy will build NE towards Scandi, but maybe more MLB than HLB.

Overall the GEFS at D16 are poor for cold and nominal for snow:

The PV remains rampant on near enough every member with HLB'ing conspicuous by its absence. No sign of any meaningful -AO in the reliable.

That pushes us to the end of the month and that long wave pattern looks a good bet, not sure of any dramatic turnarounds in that period TBH. After that, I am not optimistic, but too early to be too negative...
