Yes, but it would not be happening if that was the case 

True, that would mean the pv would be over Greenland and Canada keeping us zonal lol

The GEFS mean at T180 is one of those charts you'd get if you let a coldie on netweather draw the lines. This is UK cold perfection - strong high WNW, steady cold and hints of instability to the east.

A sight of sheer beauty..

Lots of ideas regarding fantasy island with the idea of Arctic lows heading south.

Met office 30 dayer now saying in the next 12 days very cold to cold first time very cold

into the scenario.Let’s wait for ECM to show us the way forward.

I don't think that's in the reliable time frame (even the outer) at all. The evolution on the GFS just looks wrong to me. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but synoptically, I just can't see it playing out like that. I would urge caution peeps. The High to the North West is gradually inching closer to the UK each run too. Again, this is outside the reliable. The future still looks cold regardless.

Maybe not in the reliable, but plenty of hints and the NH profile suggests that it cannot be ruled out. To dismiss it is rather folly.

Is the gfs op in the last few frames showing a QTR to the SSW ?  I’m doubtful given that it’s a displacement on gfs and the ridge is thrown up from the pacific side within a day of the reversal higher up ?? But it could well be a wave as there may be a reversal at a higher latitude than 10 hpa earlier ??

a long way out on the gfs , but the cold pool around northern europe and far north above iceland looks increasing cold . all we lack is some deep cold .  I woudl like to see some -10c 850 close to uk .

I think I am preparing to dismiss the specific GFS Op solution. But overall I still think it will be cold and blocked future.

There shouldn’t just be alarm bells ringing from this most recent GFS run, there should be great bit gongs, some sort of alarming strobe lighting, and just in case that’s not enough, someone should be available in a town-cryer/Brian Blessed type role (we might have to take it in shifts) to shout that we should not take anything past day 5 right now with anything other than passing curiosity.

When we have a model run sending a low pressure system the “wrong” way, the dynamics are going to be incredibly difficult for a model to forecast with any sort of accuracy.

Fascinating watching. I still suspect the retrogression is too fast here but we shall see

Agreed with all of this, I'm really not comfortable until I see a consistent evolution, nearly every 2-3 suites we are seeing a different type of evolution crop up, with the 12z suite now showing a mid-Atlantic high that morphs into a Greenland high eventually. 

I'd put FI quite close in at the moment, and that is for both for things to look better or worse.

The only thing I will say is back in the great winters of 09/10 and Dec 10 models often started bringing in set-ups faster and faster, this maybe a portent for a similar sustained spell of cold/very cold spell coming up.

Yes, the 12z GFS op is a bit weird with the way it handles the LP.

Some cracking cold runs in the ensembles though!

This is a pretty risky evolution at this point here:

image.thumb.png.edec639279edae360a90cc445622831b.png

We've seen many a time the models try to develop a northerly flow but then a shortwave comes across that isn't forecasted till 96hrs and cuts the upper high off from ever forming in the first place. So caution very much needed on that type of set-up. Not saying it won't happen just we should as of yet get carried away. Alot of old timers will no doubt be urging caution on this.

ICON 12z shows what happens if that shortwave behaves differently:

Still cold, but very much more bland by 180hrs.

Agreed, Siberia experiencing temps 20-25c below Dec average, cold backing/spreading west.  
 

I agree with WIB though re the caution as we have experienced scenarios like this that have sunk over the UK, but UKMO and ECM currently bolster confidence and for me we are better than WIBs 60/40 topple HP, but let’s see the continuation and get this Iceland HP in place and hold itself there.

UKMO t144 bears the caution....however that would imo move onto even colder

look at kink E of Greenland and slither of heights to the west....there’s a monster chart to follow in next 2-3 frames....Arctic plunge

Aye mate... things are now starting to get very interesting:

And, I'd much rather see warm air encroaching from the SW, than see it wafting into Scandinavia from SE Europe... a much-enhanced likelihood of enjoying some channel-runners'?:drunk-emoji:

Anyone questioning cold pools...go check some overnight temps in Finland and Siberia...trust me there is some serious cold out there..let things just align for those colder temps to manifest...and like others state we are on the cusp of magnifying our very own home grown cold pool...Thus smacks of 2018 to me,but with added oomph...whatever comes now will be at the heart of Winter,rather than the scrag  end...all systems go...let the fun and games begin gang....fantastic ens by the way...merwahhhh
