Absolute pathetic levels of cold despite the block.

We really are going to struggle to see anything noteworthy. The cold just isn't there.

I hope the pub run had a substantial meal with its alcohol, maybe a scotch egg.

Not a bad run though, glad to see the blocking signal is at least still there despite the messy run earlier on.

As a very small Chinese man once said 

"Patience Daniel son" 

Cold wrap around coming at 306.

No point going into too much detail but the repositioning of heights through the 2nd half of the pub run would certainly put us in a better position. Core heights between Scotland and Norway and finally a chance for cold air to move west/south west through Europe thanks to that developing trough over Western Russia.

Back in the earlier ranges, a pretty poor interaction between some of those areas of low pressure allow temperatures to recover somewhat after the coming weekend. This hasn’t changed occurred on the other runs tonight though, which keep the 850s below 0c throughout.

Do you really believe it though? Firstly it is the gfs 18z pub run. Secondly we all know how the models can underestimate the upper temps in these situations until much closer to the time. Thirdly........ Well, as already said, it is the gfs pub run so it won't be anything like what it is showing anyway lol.

The elements are still there for some type of blocking but will we benefit from this is another question?

but the 18z is giving me palpitations to say the least,in a good way.

goodnight all.

The 18z has had a blocked pattern throughout for the last 4 nights, it then gets dropped for the 00z, 06z, 12z and then it re-appears again on the 18z. Starting to wonder if there's an issue with that run, maybe lack of data?

Today's 6z was blocked?

I’ve noticed that the 6:00 runs have tended to favour blocking recently only to revert on the 12:00 runs. The back end of the 00z today was also blocked though. But even if there is an issue with the GFS, the ECMWF/GEM runs have mostly been blocked recently as well.

@booferking Was gonna say, the GFS 06Z indeed had quite a lot of great blocking around, especially that build of heights over our North-West towards Iceland and into Greenland. Hopefully the GFS will work up a big headache from all the drinks it has had with the NAVGEM tonight at the pub, that it will get repeated again on tomorrow’s 06Z run...

Yep charts are more like October in terms of upper air temperatures but no doubt climate change has some influence in this, I doubt you will see such a lack of cold back in the 70s under similar conditions. 

So cold and at times wet it is with a chance of snow in some lucky spots but very transient in nature. I think the more noteworthy feature will be the wind, quite a nasty low really. Don't think it be much fun on the east coast this weekend.

The end stages of the 0z GFS are synoptically stunning. Nothing marginal about those uppers heading towards us.

The dream.

Indeed , 

And when it theoretically should be rampant , the vortex is marmalized

Yes, and after such a crap year, it would be amazing to set up a winter wonderland just in time for Christmas.

As BA would say, it's all within the envelope of what could develop over the next couple of weeks.

Not a bad perch to be sitting on , in only the second day of meteorological winter eh crewe

As long as there are lots of variations of a theme it will have my interest.

It looks ok but at t144 it’ll change no doubt.

Hmmm, not sure whether its climate change to account for the poor uppers and lack of cold, it is only early December and I remember many like cool rather than cold easterlies in the past, Feb 1972 was an easterly month but apart from the first few days was wet rather than white. In the early days on Internet weather a early December easterly in 2002 brought much excitement on TWO but turned into a damp quib due to poor uppers.

February 2005 was similar although the colder time of year meant transient snow for many but it was disappointing.

The problem is the origins of this coming easterlyhad southerlies over Europe, had their been a northerly last week things would be different.

I was wondering whether the possible snow for Friday had evaporated or not, it'd be nice to see at least falling snow after last years debacle.

Although it shows something for the south east, these are always 'now cast' situations, so pinches of salt are needed, but it's good to see :-)
