Let's be honest it could be far worse. If this is correct 850s are over 20C above average in Greenland right now.

The mid-Atlantic low is now forecast as slower in its march to upset things: I think some of the short-medium term downgrade over the last 24hours was due to its sudden and assertive appearance, preventing what looked like a natural evolution of a northerly with a wide trajectory and long fetch around the eastern face of the high over Greenland. At this range, any improvement is welcome.

upwards. Nonetheless, as you say in the medium term it's not looking especially warm.


(Thanks for adding the 30-year mean btw, it really helps IMO to see at a glance just how cold (or not) the runs actually are. )

Wow ! Check out the 24c spread on these tonight. A new signal for some notable mid December warmth ? Yes..You could probably bet your house on it 


No chart available for the selected hour. Many charts start at 3 hours ahead, so if you have 0 hours selected try stepping forward or selecting a later hour.

Looking at all the ECMWF ensembles at day 10 and categorizing them:


Iberian/Bartlett/Euro High (Very zonal): ||||| ||||| || (12)


Mid Atlantic high (northerly): ||||| ||||| | (11)


UK High (anticyclonic): ||||| ||||| | (11)


Greenland high (northerly): ||||| ||| (8)


Atlantic Southwesterly: ||||| (5)


Cyclonic, Average temps: ||||| (5)


Big downgrade from yesterday but still ~50% decent runs. The main issue is rising heights over Europe. The high latitude pattern is overall pretty good but it gets ruined by high pressure building over Europe. 

2023/2024 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):
29/11 (-6), 30/11 (-6), 02/12 (-5), 03/12 (-5), 04/12 (-3), 16/01 (-3), 18/01 (-8), 08/02 (-5)

Total: 8 days with snow/sleet falling.

2022/2023 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

18/12 (-1), 06/03 (-6), 08/03 (-8), 09/03 (-6), 10/03 (-8), 11/03 (-5), 14/03 (-6)

Total: 7 days with snow/sleet falling.

2021/2022 Snow days (approx 850hpa temp):

26/11 (-5), 27/11 (-7), 28/11 (-6), 02/12 (-6), 06/01 (-5), 07/01 (-6), 06/02 (-5), 19/02 (-5), 24/02 (-7), 30/03 (-7), 31/03 (-8), 01/04 (-8)
Total: 12 days with snow/sleet falling.

I've still got the 00z ensemble mean chart at T+240 and the main difference is that the 12z shows a second low centred over the southern Baltic. The effect is marginal over the British Isles.


Otherwise very similar: trough over Newfoundland and trough over Scandinavia and ridge up into southern Greenland.  Surprisingly consistent.

18z GFS is a cold run with the potential for A LOT of snow, especially in Wales and the Midlands. 


Just maybe it’s on to something and we’ll see similar runs tomorrow. 😊 fingers crossed.

Classic pub run. Nationwide blizzard!


2 miles west of Taunton, 32 m asl, where "milder air moving in from the west" becomes SNOWMAGEDDON.
Well, two or three times a decade it does, anyway.

Interesting to see the latest NH SLP verification stats on the GFS 4 run cycle. I'd thought that the order of verification would go 12z, 00z, 06z, 18z. In fact at 5 day range its 00z, 06z, 12z, 18z. At 8 days its 00z, 06z, 18z, 12z. At 10 days its 18z, 00z, 06z, 12z.

Good old pub run brings an early Xmas cheer for all. So now the pendulum swings back in favour of cold after the early shaky start to the day, all good fun but just another variation of what could happen post +144.

I see the forum has a new ride this season, and it’s faster and scarier than any rollercoaster we’ve see before.
The 18Z GFS delivers a near nationwide blizzard of 1962 proportions. Cache it, screengrab it or simply etch it into your memory as THE series of charts of recent times because, odds on, it won’t be there in the morning.
Or maybe it will .... 😉
