Looks like the rest of this month is going to be fairly mobile, with just brief cold snaps, but there will be signs of Northern blocking establishing itself towards the end of this month. Into December, and those signs start to show their hand, with a blocking high in the Atlantic linking up with a Greenland high, and this will give us a similar pattern to last December. January remains cold with blocking in the Atlantic still in charge for most of the time. The second half of January will see the Atlantic take more of an hold for a week or so, with temperatures returning to normal values for most of the country. Towards the latter stages of January winds turn to the east.
This then sets the stage for the coldest part of the winter, a huge blocking high pushing in from Siberia, with a southerly tracking jet trying to make inroads to Western areas. This is where we will see some impressive snowfall totals.
Into March, and we still have high pressure in charge, with winds coming more from the South East. Towards the second week of March the Atlantic starts to take control, with temperatures recovering to above average.
