GFS 12z looks decent enough to me at T168, indeed better than 6z, potential for the Greenland ridge to link with the arctic high even, which could unlock the whole freezing lot, just not yet is all given local conditions:

With the 528 line just off the Danish coast. High ground only if lucky for snow with that.

850-1000hpa temps just about ok in the far east of the country though, could be a suprise or two

GFS, ECM & ICON all develop the shortwave at the S Tip of Greenland at 120, which prevents a clean injection of heights northwards. The GFS manages to get there with the blocking but blows up the Icelandic low and delays it moving east, as a result the UK ends up mild. UKMO/GEM is the pick of the bunch for me. 

Not really getting any closer to resolving this.

Any snow at the end of this week is a bonus as far as I’m concerned. Landing point for cold is around 20th, icon doesn’t go that far and ECM isn’t out that far yet? I’d also wager GFS is a mild outlier and in more interested in seeing the GFSp

Over the past few runs the GFS op had been on the coldest side of the ensembles, so it's no surprise we're seeing a dodgier run tonight. It had to come sooner or later. Not saying it's right or wrong, but just on balance it was coming sooner or later!

ECM looks more like the GEM at 144h.

Not really, shortwave in ECM stopping the heights going north, even if they did, would be toppled by low coming out of US. Lobe of PV in US is further west in ECM stopping any form of sustainable heights into Greenland.

Just 2 words for that. "Dew Points"

 

Edit: Sorry that sounds a bit harsh. Dew points are the problem with the 528 line that far away, the lowest level of the atmosphere is just not cold enough.

ECM precip chart shows where it thinks the DPs are conducive

What you don't want to happen is the 2 lows over the US to phase, because if they do, then we have a toppler.

ECM 168 is a beaut, why is it they can never just agree? The ECM is now showing more of the core heights to our south being dragged west whilst the GFS has gone the other way. Models are wind ups I swear
