So long as we get a snowy breakdown ...

Sadly this is the way we don’t (as you realise)  ..... As mentioned forever, the repetitive undercut is the only way to keep the snow going

Quite a change in the NH pattern here compared to the last ECM run .

Something BA mentioned re the runner upstream , if we can delay that so need a bit more amplitude to make that sharper and slower to exit Canada .

Actually I preferred it. Gives more chance for heights to build north and suck in more cold air from the east!

Ive been saying on and off for a while now. This is what I think will happen. The Atlantic LP wont come in.. yet. and when it does it will be too late. I think the Scandi HP will move over the Faroes. the LP will weaken and pass far to our south. and merge with a LP extending SW from Siberia.  And for now the Atlantic LP may well phase with the small LP within its circulation taking it no where..

The GEM gives snow up to London for Thursday, I’d be happy with that

I seewe are getting a trend of colder weather along with the snow on Sunday with older models showing warmer weather and with that we see Snow nearly all day in the east.

So we ca begin to check for details now as the system it's about 1 run away from being nailed on.

Sorry it simply cannot do that. The upper air pattern associated with it, various factors there, are going to cause it to begin to stagnate before long, after making some ENE/NE movement. 

Aside from that is the question that is likely to have evn more effect on it, that of the milder Atlantic air being unable to break through the desner cold air ahead of it.

Yes ECM is throwing out more blocking to extend the cold. A battle ground will still come at some point

True but plenty of recent runs have shown a fairly good snowy breakdown for most. My point was that I’m not going to celebrate an extra cold dry day or 2 if it is at the expense of a snowy breakdown?  Below was the last ECM run which is traveling north east giving snow to all. This run will have it coming in across the far north only ... let’s hope the low at least corrects south..

From deep winter to an early blast of spring in a few days if tonight’s GEM and ECM are to be believed! This potential evolution seems to have snuck in through the back door!

Sunday next week on ECM. 00z vs 12z

Anyone think the mid term is a little uncertain.....seems like its searching for a way to keep the continental/easterly flow but failing miserably...

00z for next sunday

12 for next Sunday (12 hours ahead)

The surface temperatures might not be so spring-like....

So we have managed to squeeze another day out of this upcoming cold spell. I wonder if this could be a trend that gains momentum. The charts showing mild southerlies are at day 8 and 9. If the oomph of the low is being over modelled the southerlies could be out in the Atlantic as the low fills while the UK remains under s cold high.

Very hard to tell what the temperatures would be like at the surface. Similar charts like that in February could deliver above average temperatures, yet with dry air could allow nighttime frosts. However we arrive here with snow on the ground not only here but over parts of northern France. It could still be quite cold even with some very warm air aloft.

With more energy going se you’d have an even better day 6 and 7 as the high would be further north . But still not bad , the cold is hanging on .

Yes didn't work out as I'd imagined! Still, another extension of the cold as it gets into the more reliable timeframe.

Putting aside the fantastic cold spell on our doorstep, what happens to that end of week low (and the consequences of) is, hands down, one of the best model watching periods I can remember. Fascinating stuff.

More amplification and less heading NE here and I wonder what the future would hold.

ECM throws out some grains of interest as we look beyond our cold spell.
