Quite possible that March might bring the most Atlantic spell of the extended winter period like in 2019, if anything like the current model runs comes off. All a long way off though and will all depend on how high pressure to the east behaves towards month's end.

I think the model roller coaster has finally ended this evening!

Probably the future though and likely to become more common.

Sadly yes along with 40C plus in summer but that doesn't make it any better!

Hoping for a miracle model flip in the morning....

Are there thoughts as to why the models overestimated depth of cold?

 

Well, this cold spell was a bit of a mix between transported cold from the Russian Arctic and radiative cooling at night.
Perhaps some of the moderation of the Russian cold over the Baltic Sea was underestimated? I think the flow was also more slack than originally forecasted, and for my location I know that there was more cloud cover than even the short term high resolution models forecasted.

With cold spells, in this case an Easterly, everything has to be right for it to be severe and lasting.
The UK is fully surrounded by seas and an ocean, the European mainland has the ocean to the West, the North Sea and the Baltic to the North and the Mediterranean and Black sea to the South(East). Water bodies everywhere.
Slight changes in wind direction at the surface, a little bit more or less moisture and clouds, it can all have big impacts in our part of the world.

With Easterlies there is just that little alley that allows the very coldest of Siberian air to come West without moderation.

Amazing how this time last week we were looking at a potentially historic February!  I wonder where we will be this time next week?!

Maybe back to a very cold spell.

OK. Let's have a minute. Today is the 13th of February.Still. Winter. All those on here that are thinking the cold has gone for this winter may need to think again. Fantasy island for me is about 4 days maximum. The main players maybe showing mild thru and thru but I for one have seen the ensembles switch within 5 days. So anything after Tuesday is up for grabs in my eyes. This sort of model watching saves a lot of disappointment and as served me well thru the years. What is showing now for Wednesday. Will not be the same as shown today on the 18z. Very small differences at the starting point will change the route the models will take within a very short time. My point is if you. Like cold or warm and count down from day 10 you will most definitely be disappointed by day 0. Winter is most definitely not over by a long shot and I for one are still chasing the cold until at least the last week of March. So in the morning let's see if anything changes from the 0 to 120hr time frame. Night all

Excellent post. Thank you and I will also be waiting in thee wings so to speak

This mornings models are awful with the UKMO in full Bartlett mode by next week and looking at GFS its difficult to see any return to meaningful cold before the end of meteorological winter.

Dry and mild seems the way forward which will suit many and at least no sign of a return to raging Atlantic weather.

However, while on its own its meaningless the GFS brings in a Scandinavia High on the first day of spring and IMO a return to cold in early March is likely and with North East Europe never really warming up any  easterly wind could quickly become very cold.

I am still betting on a cold March In line with the MetO MRF.

Morning all from a very cold Austria , current temp -20.2 c ! Well what a turn around . You just could not imagine a week ago the flow was heading out from the far plains of Russia  and next weekend according to this chart from ECM , next weekend has a drift out of what looks like deepest Africa !  Sure there will be another switch during the coming days. Just amazing rise in temps for you lot !

Quite an exceptional ECM with +10 uppers moving north by next weekend. Could almost be a 20 degree swing in temps from this weekend in some areas..

Wonder how many times in history this has happened a weather station in the uk records -23c and then another +20c in February.

A monthly range of over 40c, can’t happen very often? Especially in winter?

It has only happened once in 1955 went from -25C to 15C a range of 40°C, funny how in recent days we saw coldest Feb temp since 1955.

I wonder what March 1955 was like?

March 1965 recorded a minimum of sub -20C and a maximum of 25C

January 1958 had minima as low as -21C and the following couple of days it got up 17C, even got up to 18.3C in North Wales

I think Shawbury got close to -20C in January 1982 and recorded a maximum of nearly 13C at the end of the same month.

Ok back to the Models please, not what we want or don't want. Or what we think others want...

Thanks all ☺️

Same overall pattern this morning but a bit flatter upstream towards day 9 and 10 so less movement north of the Euro high .

I think at this point that timeframe will decide whether the winter limps out or whether there’s one last hurrah .

If the models fail to sharpen up the upstream pattern and don’t ridge the high north then it’s game over for any further cold before the end of February.

Before then a huge switchover on temps with the Euro high and very mild air moving north out of Africa .

Looks like I can get the sun lounger out down here !

CFS still shows a glancing blow for the SE- completely against all the other models very odd
