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.

Well, good riddance, I love winter, but it's been hugely disappointing, looking forward to some nice warm day's.

Let's enjoy the upcoming mild and settled spell.  This winter has been a bust!  Let's drink to another warm summer.  At least summer warmth gets delivered regularly.

No - lets have a cold showery wet summer please - no oppressive heat.

I'd like the hot summer but interspersed with thunderstorms every few days to keep the plants healthy.

So..we've skipped the decomposing remains of this winter..which is understandable, but we've also skipped spring and jumped straight into summer..I wouldn't rule out some wintry surprises in March / April..as long as the Background Signals are still looking good!!

I would take a Northern Greenland climate all year around, temps never getting into double figures, anyway, yes, if these next 2 weeks verify as we think, i struggle to see how a cold spell can be avoided, trouble is, will it be in March or April, how early determines whether or not we can still get a dumping out of it.

You nuts?  Most of us love warmth.  Maybe book a holiday in the North Pole when we get our summer heat.

Well, the ext EPS shows settled mild weather (euro ridge)  If we can't have snow then let's have some dry warm(ish) weather.

Looks more sceuro to me, so not as bad as a bartlett, although i don't have the dataset, just going off the 5 day mean posted by Knocker.

Hopefully we can break some Feb warmth records, very possible. Early taste of Spring and a welcomed closure to a huge winter of let downs.

Looking forward to warm and sunny days now, goodbye winter 2018/19.

thats a long southerly draw

It's incredible how wrong the forecasts/teleconnection projections have been , when we are seeing the complete and utter opposite of their predictions. 

Something has gone massively wrong somewhere.

Yes, saw that - 3.6% or something, i wouldn't mind if there were some other good clusters but by 360, thats the only one really.

I don't mind storms, but you need the surface heat to get them, so that when the upper trough moves in from the West, there is a steep vertical temperature lapse, just cannot stand heat.

In some ways, it’s comforting to know that despite the most powerful of computer systems and projections, nature just cannot be predicted. I would suggest the fact there’s so many known drivers/forecast and predictions that it seems like it’s unusual for things to be predicted so wrong when in fact things have advanced so much we don’t really know how reliable all these models/teleconnections ect actually are.

That made sense in my head, not so sure now

they sit behind a screen predict ( guess ) basically and we buy into it 

its very difficult to believe and not get drawn into the metoffice guess work 

and also looking past t144 is fun if you see the charts you wish and love to see 

especially regarding cold and snow chances 

but for myself in general I feel ive learnt a lot this winter 

to not take much notice of long rage predictions and to try my very best next winter not to stick to around the t144 mark

anyway I will be back tommorrow morning on the 6z to look past t144

Hardly looked at the models the last few days as it looks a real struggle now to get any cold in (as it basically has this entire winter)...looked at 12z ecm at 24z and then skipped out to 240z and guess what hardly any difference! ...I'll come back in a few days time when in all likely hood they'll be no change again.

The longevity of this forecast mild spell looks impressive in its own right as much as I hate it during mid Feb. Those southerly winds are from such a long fetch. Next week’s resurgent high pressure looks like it could be even warmer. I sit here looking at these charts in astonishment. This has been one of the most disappointing winters in a very long time. The CET will be modified a bit if we can retain the coldish nights but even so could be approaching records if the warmth resumes next week. How many instances do we see a flip from warm to cold in the output? It always feels like it happens the other way around..
