Please tell me that they are feeding the GFS computers with neat alcohol, not just sherry. Must be one of the coldest runs we have seen for a long time.

Bit of a cruel 6z run, albeit there has been the odd ens member doing similar things over the past few days.  Think I'll treat in same way as I would if it had gone madly mild and zonal and disregard unless the ens show strong support over several runs!

Yes - glad I am not the only one seeing such eye candy sugar like charts: - This will not come off (NOT this cold) but isn't this the similar sort of set up we had towards the middle of Jan 2013?


 




 


Even in just over a weeks time?


Daytime temperatures of -1  to +4c widely with snow showers pushing down from the north across the country with heavier falls further east!?:

Just for fun - I wonder if this is supported with the ECM?!?

I was going to give up looking at charts if the 06Z wasn't showing any signs of severe cold and snow but today proved it's still game on - especially after John Hammond mention the cold will more likely to return in the week ahead, however we have heard all this before earlier this December didn't we? So let's take these charts with caution!?

Just reading it for January, especially 'Forecast note':

Good luck. Perhaps not to the extent the charts are showing today but certainly there looks the potential for all of us./

Lowest temp I can find out in FI is -21C (in the Scottish Highlands). Bit nippy that.

Polar lows etc, the GFS has modelled a fair amount of instability in the atmosphere waiting to come down and from the east.

Today's look of the GFS 00z, UKMO 00z and ECMWF 00z Model Output suggests that we have Tuesday 3rd Jan., to Thursday 5th Jan., less cold air, but by Friday and Saturday 6th and 7th Jan., we get more Cold NW to Northerly type Arctic cold plunge, with widespread night frost and chance of hill snow, and for lower levels in the North. After that the North Atlantic Blocking High should move back from our West and NW, by Sunday 8th Jan.


Low Pressure diving SE from Central N Canada at 192-216- through NW Atlantic join with a Low from Mid W N Atlantic merge together with WAA going up as they merge in NW Atlantic even at 240hrs.


NE Europe Sunday 1st to Thursday 5th looks set for very cold Cyclonic Arctic Polar Vortex Cold wintry spell of weather.


At 192-216hrs the High over NW Atlantic intensifies and merges with the Greenland High, a Mid N Atlantic set of two Low Pressure systems that head to 500 miles South of Iceland by 4-5 January merged with SE tracking Newfoundland far NW Atlantic Low with cold NorthNW plunge formed in it as cold NW Atlantic High and Greenland High merge.  Another chance for a second round.


NW to SE Tracking PV Express C and E Canada to NW half of Atlantic latter part of 1st week NY 2017!!, the ECMWF and GFS I hope that next five days this prediction keeps maintained.


😃☔🌞⛈❄️🌊. There could be wet and Windy weather on Thursday to Saturday as well, with wintry conditions up in NW and North UK by Friday-Saturday.🔚.


Climate is warming up, Scotland and N Ireland and North England still often gets some Winter frost, ice and snow, November to March, but the SE and South UK including S Central England and Wales, together with the West and North through the year, they sometimes get more rain than London and S SE England, where some longer dry fine spells without much heavy rain is seen every year.

The North Atlantic Sea often gets some much Colder Wintry conditions from November to March Months, and Mild SW and South winds tend to be more frequent over the East and SE of North Atlantic Sea, as the Azores High tends to stay in charge. 

With this warmth and heat, the Central and South UK has become mostly free of snow and frost.
