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.

Oh, and the JMA is interesting too T264, if that can lead to a cold flow in a few frames which I think it would

The scenes are looking dry in here as something called snow is falling somewhere nearby meanwhile in Liphook @kold weather is wondering how this tumbleweed got into his back garden.

All in good jest of course and to keep this post on topic here is a nice northerly form GEFS Pert 4 at +384hrs which is totally going to come off as shown...

But unless you want these slush fest / 2 dayers, then you need the frigid cold to generate convection and also to maintain snowcover.

something to cheer you up..winter storm warning here..30-60cm of snow before the end of Sat and temps dropping below -35c

To be honest 50 years ago we were struggling with predicting snowfall....forward on 50 years there is no difference despite massive computer tech .....

If that's what you think then why do you even bother posting in here?

Weather forecasting models have made big progress in recent decades but we only focus on when they fail, rather then when they succeed. If we took your attitude towards things we would be living in caves still.

While here just south of the thames a wet damp squib non settling snowfall that was majorly hyped up and was forecast to be 2-7cms in depth. Enjoy your 30-60cms I'm not jealous at all

Obviously it's gotten much much better. But this week has been pathetic regarding where the low would go, how far North, South etc, would we have paid it any attention if it was just standard rain?  In these types of scenarios they're still pretty useless, with cold air over us. Perfect if it looks zonal for a week. Struggling to work out where a low will go a day or two before hand is hardly the stuff of finnese.

Well I am still learning so forgive me if I'm wrong, but this looks interesting to me. Is that a scandi high? And the upper temps are cold?

Yay! That is the first chart I've posted AND publicly tried to interpret. What with that and the fact I am now under an amber snow warning ( I believe because my location is around the 'pivot' point) I am liking today lots.

Nice one! Always daunting to do that so congrats for being brave. I still know very, very little but I like giving it a try. The 00z is lovely tbh. Just beautiful seeing the cold flood west.

I was too busy on radar snow watch in the regional thread to look at charts yesterday...but if it is two days in a row, on two models, we could be looking at a trend
