Just to contrast:
Both models coun't be more different if they tried to:
GFS for day 10: @ 240z
ECM for day 10 @ 240z:
Our experiences from other recent years though shows us that when there has been a lot of uncertainty in the model output, it has usually always been the milder scenarios which have ended up actually happening in the end, whereas I don't recall there being all that many instances during these years when it is the colder scenarios which have ended up happening.
For now at least, I am therefore not really seeing anything to suggest that this will change during this winter and it's not just the ECM 30 day outlook which is going for a milder period ahead as both the JMA and the CFS appear to be agreeing with that just now to a certain extent.
