Well what can I say. The whole LP has tracked more east, keeping the UK in the deep cold flow - well okay, more of a waft at this stage due to the shallow low to the N, but that's going to be interacting with the deep cold pool as it gradually destabilises across the UK.


With that slackness of flow up north and extensive snow cover I can see temps making a run at the -20s Celsius should skies be clear (and that setup actually happens).

Hope the cold gets here by 28th in time for my winter stats and to see the coldest day of the winter on it's final day. If only it went Feb 29th on Thursday but eh ho!

Lovely stuff at T192 as the low heads into France and pulls more cold air across the northern flank.

My part of southern England isn't really best placed for easterlies so I think in order to get anything meaningful here I will need to see some LP at some point but let's get the deep cold in first!

Anyone else getting bored of seeing all these cold easterly charts run after run now?

Me neither.

ECM looks steady at 120hrs. Don't want the low bulging any further south mind.

1987 saw 495-496 dam thicknesses which were probably unprecedented since records began.

1991 saw 502 dam recorded.

The 144 ECM chart has 502 dam on the north coast of Norfolk.

So in terms of depth of cold we would be looking at an equal to 1991 if that verified.

In other words, the equal third coldest pool since thickness records began in the 1940s, beaten only by 1956 and 1987 and tied with 1991. Amazing that it would continue the 31-year pattern!

Even by +240 we are still looking at uppers of -10 quite widely according to the ECM:

I agree. The thing is after all these upgrades we will eventually see a downgrade at some point. Just hope we see the downgrade AFTER not before this prolonged cold spell is likely to occur, seeing as it's what many of us on TWO have been waiting for to happen during our winters over the past 5 years or since March 2013. - Which of course was our last prolonged cold spell. 


Since then all we really had are colder snaps and chillier air and or any snow that has fallen has been wet in nature and very transient and temporary.


Right I must have a break from computer model output watching! So much exciting stuff going on!! 


Still waiting for it to happen of course so I can be fully relaxed./


PS - Brian? - I wonder if this TWO site forum crashes due to the sheer amount of traffic browsing these topics we are almost at PG 10 and this thread was only created earlier today!?

Slight trade-off here; uppers not as stunning as UKMO but this is due to a shallow disturbance in the flow and in any case they're stillv ery impressive and with plenty more lined up nicely up-flow.


Will be interesting to see whether the next disturbance is again used as a door-opener for LP to invade from the SW on this run. I am skeptical of such an outcome but if ECM keeps doing it then I will start to accept that it really could pan out like that.


Edit: cache caught me out; I see +144 has already made my point for me about the cold up-flow!


Low by Azores perhaps not advancing quite so fast. Looking out for secondary lows splitting away east int the Med. as that's more typical when LP tries to move in against such deep cold air and from so far south.
