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.

Good news for coldies, the Ecm 00z isn't quite as hot as 24 hours ago..it's still very mild / unseasonably warm though.

FI. FI, FI, it all gets so far away. Somebody alert the express, its finally coming this one is sure to be a front headline grabber!

gfs-1-384 (1).pngyou can imagine the headline, William Hills spokesman has said, we have drastically cut the odds on March being the coldest on record to evens.... Due to this in la la land gfs model run. Interesting times!

Some exceptional models this morning and an amazing contrast to this time last year!

I'm increasingly confident of daily records falling and I feel that there is a chance the all time records fall as well, mainly as this is looking quite sustained with at least 4 days where +8c 850hpa air is around, maybe longer.

Maybe we may see our first winter time 20c? Not impossible.

Still very dry aswell.

Only recorded 47mm of rain so far this year. Combined with the dryness of last year then we could do with some rain!

I hate to say it but now a good chance of 20C being reached during the next week.  As others have said an incredible difference to this time last year!

Wonder if we will get record low temps later in the spring,the weather is certainly getting more extreme each year.

Many mild spells in february have then be followed by very cold weather later in the spring with snowfall even in April.

We may get a below average spell of temperatures but record low is extremely hard to achieve these days. 

Also, look at how many above average months we get compared to the below average ones. There is a big difference.

I've mentioned some days ago that the drought in the continent is likely to give an early start to the forest fire season. I didn't expect it to start already in February!

With the winds turning southerly in a few days, I wonder if we will import some of that smoke.

Late winter and early spring are a common time for fires as there's a lot of dead material lying about, When new growth gets going the vegetation layer is damper.
Also it's often windy with quite low humidity. We seem the same thing in the UK most years with March being a particularly drying month

I'm not so sure myself - i'd say it's probably odds against getting 20c. I think we will see 18.something, but that's my own opinion of course.

Anyway, the block looks like holding strong out to day 10 at least:

ec-ens_nat_z500scenarios_2019021800_240.

A definite trend to start bringing the Atlantic back in as we head into March:

ec-ens_nat_z500scenarios_2019021800_300.

Nothing cold on the horizon just yet.

And so my towel is thrown into the ring, an amazing winter if only for the sheer persistence of low heights to the North west! Incredible duration stretching back to November!!

Hopefully a nice summer to compensate for a truly rubbish winter!

Despite the long range forecasts was for HLB to the NW ,can we at least hear from the posters who forecast a cold winter into what exactly went wrong,it’s almost the complete opposite NH profile.

Think you will see snow in spring Northwest so maybe see you soon in the regional threads ,ciao for now

With all the towels now thrown in, I  expect some very cold charts to appear in the next couple of days.

I think it’ll be a real head scratcher deciphering this winter. The met office continually hinted at cold weather for weeks - as did many experts - yet nothing materialised. It’s been odd that despite it not being cold, it’s not been mild wet and windy either. Just generally mild and dry.

Certainly possible. The ICON did a poor job with temperatures and was way too low last time. Looks more realistic this time.

Values look similar to last Friday which had 17c, so with an extra week of sun strength 17.6c looks really do able locally.
