Barry, the country grinds to a halt if 2 flakes fall

Nov saw the most negative PDO value since 2011.

 

[Eagle Eye]

Boring this year, glad we've had Snow

[Petorious]

So much for a dry day!  

[BarometerCat]

GFS ensembles trending cooler, better than yesterday IMO

in line with pressure increasing a bit too

So cool and dry later in the month... 

This all IMBY too. I'll take a colder, dry Christmas...no rain. No unseasonable mild temps please!

[B87]

Looks like this December could crush the previous cloudiest December (2010). Only 9.8 hours of sun so far this month, with 18.5 hours the figure to beat.

[Number 23]

I'd happily take a few dry sunny days over Christmas. 

Interesting times on the MOD thread, been quite good this season for learning about the more complicated drivers that contribute to cold in the UK, regardless of the frequent posting of random ensemble members at +300000 hours

If anything, it's served to highlight how many variables need to align around the hemisphere to bring lasting snow to these shores!

Are you sure it was December 2010 that was the cloudiest. Wasn't that one one of the sunniest on record?

[Simon M]

More optimism again on the Model Chat thread, seems hype is growing for a potentially cold Christmas.

 

There's even a chance of a cold N/NWrly wind bringing in some snow showers - chance of a few sneaking my way via the Cheshire Gap?  

[LetItSnow!]

with all this talk of how similar 2020 has panned out to 2004, it’s funny how we may get a cold northerly bringing snow on christmas day, as did 2004. would hope the rest of winter 2020/2021 pans out colder than 2004/2005 though!

Heathrow recorded 18.5 hours of sun that month.

We need to start a bet on when we predict @Steve Murr will make his return. Assuming the cold charts continue, I say Thursday. 

[NEVES SCREAMER]

Why does anyone in their right mind want to sit in traffic jams for 5 hours in sub zero temperatures whilst a gritting lorry piles up the grit in the same place. Beyond me. 

[qwertyK]

Mild for now but somehow the bbc is managing to predict snow two weeks in advance for the 27th. Some cold forecast just from Christmas Eve onwards actually ...similar sorts of temperatures we had at the start of the month

For a lot of country especially west it was super sunny but horrifically dull in London.

Is there a way to do it on the mobile site? I can do it on PC but not on the mobile?

That's exactly why i am going for a cold end of winter. i can't remember now - negative is the cold waters in the NE pacific i think?  If it can stop that ridge building which then has a bad impact downstream in the Atlantic.

It means cooler waters close to the artic and north American coasts in essence, the horseshoe.

Not a strong link but preferable in my opinion.

[mountain shadow]

Perhaps those that were going to ask Steve Murr to come back, should tell him not to bother....

 

 

 

Again.

[Vikos]

Just put the GFS12z in here and forget about it. One run doesn't have to ruin your day
