Hi all, rarely post as have no technical knowledge however am avid reader of this forum for many many years,

Always a delight to read the intelligent interpretations of model predictions, let's not forget these models are predictive tools of events not yet occurred and not to blame if they go down another route..

For me things appear more exciting for avid coldies than since 2010/2013, posted in the regionals regarding Mondays 9cm fall followed by 6cm today (stoke) this is a rarity, normally wrong side of marginal time and again, this bodes well going into jan as Uk is nearly always marginal, oh and my kiss of death, 7-10 day charts have bit of a 62/63 look to them... with a ssw to come...

How many times have we heard that you say....

Patterns normally go against our desires but every now and then we hit gold, certainly have lots of the main pieces in play, let's hope they fall kindly.

Chart attached 30/12/62 note the Eastern European high that some are bemoaning now !!

Yes, in fairness there are striking similarities to some of the output we are seeing. Hopefully we will get a similar result

As Blue said earlier: Massive split at the end. Everything from +10 to -10 850hpa. Not sure how these compare to last few runs?

Mr Murr posted a good post earlier mentioning extended GEFS. I know Blue uses them a lot, and righty so, but was interesting to see the logic in not putting to much emphasis on them regarding a forecast at this present time with the current pattern. (That’s how I read it anyway)
 

The fact the extremes from -10 to +10 are in the mix enforces what he was suggesting. 
 

Both scenarios are of course up for grabs but a little more patience going into the mid to longer term might be prudent at the moment.

Its just been that annoying Russian high (albeit it clearly has some positive impacts as well) feeding warm air up into central Europe.. Catacol posted earlier that it looked like it might relax its grip somewhat and looking through the GEFS there is some evidence to support that. A slight shift in the source of the airmass could make a massive difference here. We don't even need to draw down air from the arctic, we just need to stop sourcing it from N Africa and the Eastern Med !!!!

On the subject of ‘Staying cold into the New Year’, here’s the GFS precipitation charts from the 3rd January (+120h) to the 8th January (+240h)....

This is, of course, guesswork by the GFS at this stage but it is showing snow or wintry showers somewhere in the UK on every single frame of this 5 day sequence.  This is a prospect we all want to see in January.  It’s not inconceivable that almost everyone will have some snow over this period which is not a prospect to be disappointed at, especially given the number of snowless years we’ve had recently.

Erm this tweet says the SSW has actually started 

 

No it hasn’t.  A technical SSW is defined as zonal wind reversal at 10 hPa and 60N.  It will happen on 5/1/21 or very close.

Stupid question maybe

but wasn’t the last time all the cold drained from across the pond and North America in particular, the British isles had benefited from a very cold winter. I can remember Ian mc caskil in his forecast saying how barmy temperatures were in america

Not many substantial differences between the 12z and 18z at day 6.

Indeed, very good slight modifications so far. Block seems to be stronger to the north too, no sign of the ECM's west based -NAO.

Some small minus 10 pools popping up now too, shows how cold can develop in situ in these set ups

I was just about to mention this, that easterly definitely could be colder than previous forecasts I think

Lets see how the SE wiggles out of this one...
