It's just one LP after another! Point taken about uppers but if only it were a few degrees colder for us southerners though http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rpgfs1711.gif
Think a lot of people are going to like this!

If GFS 12z came off the country would be at a standstill on Tue & Wed
A lot will - and many won't.
The new GFS 12z seems to be a snowfest and cold throughout bar warm sectors getting a little close for comfort but the cold wins out!

What a way for the new GFS to go solo While I take your point Rob, even if it did start as rain the 3rd slider would turn back to snow as it slides south.

Unbelievable run for snow next week in much of central England, if it is to be believed.
Well low #3, which has come from a fairly cold source, manages to deepen as it exits the South Coast. Depending on track and the fact that uppers are in the -5 to -7 range, in virtual space at least I'd say that has a snow fall on it.

's alright.
Maxima of -3c next Friday over deep snow cover;

Why couldn't they keep the old GFS too. It had some advantages, it ran sooner and had 500hpa anomoly charts.
The Met/o 12z is a beauty and of which looks to be sliding!

I wouldn't kick it out of bed, Rob Get the cold in, and let mother nature do the rest. The UKMO is bringing the next trough in on a NW/SE axis and is bound to tickle the tastebuds of snow fans pretty much nationwide I would think.

No, surprisingly it was Jan 2013Unsurprisingly, one of the few parts that are green is the Vale of Evesham, along with the South Coast ...http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/uk-weather-nasa-satellite-image-1563255

Can someone point to an analogue year/month with similar synoptics to those forecast for next week. Its not really a classic easterly, or a northerly. More a slow and flabby low complex in cold air.
If The Daily Star says it will snow then I'm on board
The new GFS has 3 hour timesteps between 180 and 240 hours. These are now accessible on the TWO chart viewer:

Interestingly enough it seems that the low res >240hr is nearly as good as the old high res.
