Hmm, been watching this Greeny high and to me if anything it has moved more East (favourable if you want cold). This still has to develop so I wouldn`t be chucking my eggs into it`s a nailed on West based -NAO basket quite yet.

Its not just about the ridge going into greenland it is how the low pressure circulates around that and that lower pressure is moving east to west into the atlantic and thats where the problem lays

.... and ECM 12z a brief spell of heavy snow in southeastern parts before turning back to rain, given how awful it has been for us I’d gladly take it, East Anglia most favoured. You lot up north can’t begin to understand our pain/frustration so if this goes t*ts up I might adopt a knocker stance.... and I’m pointing at you midlands folks as well spread the love.

Would be nice if at least some modelled snow actually came to fruition down here eh?

After today’s let down, you can understand the scepticism!

Although the NH pattern looks good at 240, i don't get the feeling there will be very many members that deliver a lot of snow to the UK on the EPS extended.

In spite of the fairly solid pattern of meridional flow the 500 mb charts show, I posted earlier this link to the ECMWF output does not

http://www2.wetter3.de/Fax/00_ECMWF_ENS_p0_500hPa+144_240.gif

So which will be nearer the actual weather pattern in 6+ days time?

I have to say I do not know. I cannot recall seeing the anomaly charts so consistently showing a meridional flow without the weather following what they suggest. The ECMWF output is something that has only recently become available, so I have no idea how reliable it is. I do have to say though that I am beginning to wonder if it is not doing better, at the moment, than the anomaly charts?

See for yourselves, the anomaly charts were posted earlier but I'll drop them in here for an easier comparison

The 8-14 NOAA carries on with the meridional flow and it shows a pattern in the far west that one would expect to support the pattern in the UK area.

 

After the cut & thrust of winter is over, it would be great if you were able to do an educational post regarding how to interpret the newly available ECMWF charts to which you refer in the attached post.

Meteociel ECM mean seems to have not come through.

Here's the view from wetter at 144 and 240.

Lots of Arctic blocking

Wide spread 850mb temps on the graph at the end.

The graphical plot is interesting,  at first glance you'd think we were all going warm at the end..... but with the current pattern its a fine line between warm and cold... here's the corresponding operational for day 10.

I doubt there will be many cold lovers disliking this 7 day chart, especially if you see where the air is sourced from. I did say day 7, not the infamous 10...

Ext EPS trending less cold - the mean suggests colder than average in the north and milder than average in the south.  No deep cold.

Iberian / Mediterranean heights the issue.

Hello.. when you say trending less cold is that for this particular run as we get further into the extended? Or is the trend over a series of runs ?

So from outside view reading post over last couple days on models it’s gunna be next winter now for snow especially for us southerners so frustrating really thought we were on on to something couple weeks ago when we had dusting Down here 

Not sure what your point is tbh. It's mid January and your ona bout "us southerners" graphics show its milder and hotter in summer. In respect to the model output and nhp atm there's nothing in the reliable to say or show the south wont get any wintry weather between now and the end of March. See how it pans out or maybe move to the shetlands? Enjoy the SSW and its meanderings. You can't change it

I thought the SSW was nearly 2 weeks ago now? Should the models not have a handle on that now?

Around 10 days... impacts to trop mostly after 14 days, sometimes even more...

I still think the medium term is way off nailed and the models have yet to grip it, and we’ll see a sudden flip around day 7 to much more blocking around Greenland or to the NE !! 
I feel coldies for once may get a sudden swing in their favour.

I think there are a number of directions the models can go after this point,

Well quite a large cluster on the GEFS are going in a fairly promising direction, if nothing jaw dropping, even for the South, however, we are going to need a shift in the EPS soon else all it will be is a repeat of today's slushfest.

Can’t move Shetland cause of Covid look which is such a shame but hopefully something happend but just can’t see it through  reading posts about models

I think the thoughts of any cold moving east was from about end of the month. So those 2m temp anomalies go with that thought too. Maybe last into Feb too.
