Now you see it, now you don't - at least Christmas travel shouldn't be disrupted over and above difficulties caused by strikes.
Back to the charts: WX temps milder than yesterday but the cold hasn't gone away entirely. Week 1, retreating to a line from Scotland to Germany. Week 2, to the E of Poland with a tiny blob over the Highlands. Significantly milder for England and the Baltic, colder in Ukraine and Turkey. Week 1 pptn for Atlantic coasts incl Britain; ditto for week 2 but more of it.
GFS Op: light N-lies with cold air hanging on to Sat 17th from shallow LP over the Baltic. By Mon 19th Britain under strong S-lies between LP 985 mb W Ireland and HP 1040 mb Belarus. As the LP moves over to Norway N-lies make a brief return before reloads Sat 24th LP 970mb Rockall and HP 1030mb Germany, more SW-ly this time, and again on Wed 28th 935mb SW of Iceland and 1030 mb Austria
ECM: similar to GFS but LP Tue 20th deeper and closer (970mb Hebrides as it passes by heading for Norway) as does FAX
GEFS: suddenly milder on Sun 18th with rain, both rain and mild temp lasting a few days before a dip to cold, mean resuming near norm from Fri 23rd, a range of ens members on either side some of which continue damp. Still some snow in the far N of Scotland for this week.
MetO
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/maps-and-charts/uk-weather-map has a remarkable colour wash of temps spreading up from the SW if showing temps on Sunday.
Meteo Group (BBC Stav Danaos) hedging his bets by hinting at the return of cold weather later.
