A bit of cherry picking here.....  Might as well be generated at random, but jaw dropping nonetheless - seriously wintry.

I think CFS has evolved and is issuing extrastential charts now.
Just click on the link and you'll see what you most desire.

In Matty's case of course he will see only an image of himself . . . .

..... and fleeting - same chart now shows average winter conditions.  The only point, if there is one, of these charts is to show what is theoretically possible, nothing more.  

The same could be said of xxxtube.com, and we don't believe most of that either, do we?

I had to check that was real...it is.  Thanks for the new site 

 LLTNP 105m asl 

Am on work laptop typing this so I will refrain from checking "just to be sure" what the site includes.  Good analogy though: 

cfs long-term model = weather porn

I didn't know it was a genuine site either TBH - not that I know that many of course

OT and I still have a hunch, regardless of the machinations of CFS, that February will be the best month for a very cold shot.
Remember, many look back at Jan 1987 with fondness but even in that year ot was one week of extreme cold in an otherwise bland, mildish winter (for most). I'd put up with a zonal winter and take a short but severe cold blast as compensation ALA 87 happily.

Ah, the mysterious 'Chart of Erised'

I think he'd see himself in a Cardiff City footy top, being hugged by Ian Holloway and Gordon Brown

CFS still hinting at something quite cold for the Winter

March looks horrendous again! Don't want a repeat of last March thank you very much.

Mind you, January looks nice and mild for most.

Uncle Joe put this up on his Twatter account.

I don't  see what that's got to do with winter, it looks like the GFS  forecast for the next 2 weeks to me. Look at the dates on the charts.

Well we'll see if this pans out, as well as Uncle Joe's contention about blocking in December.

Mind you, Joe always says that.

It is, that why I can't quite get my head around the fact that he warned of December hell, then posted charts for November

I wonder how many of the " Winter is over " remarks before it's even started will be deleted or edited

The joys of weather forecasting and discussion

Some decent charts about indeed. All eyes on Andy W's annual "winter is over" message, issued on 1 November every year, complete with gold-embossed invitation to a certain Uncle Barty to keep the house warm until March.

I wonder how many "You can't get significant snow after February" post we'll get with remarks that "the sun is too strong"

No I won't be doing that Marcus....I am in the final throes of putting together my winter LRG....Although I concede the charts in the last few days have perked up my interest in something a little more seasonal again.

Some of the younger members appear to be of the view that the sun in February is itself too warm for significant snowfall, never mind March.
