Agreed. People may initially think GFS is disappointing at first glance - but it could create severe disruption for significant sections of the country.

Hope it does end up like ICON as its stunningly snowy end. It's very difficult to know what it would look like at 7 and 8 though.


We mustn't lose sight on just how good the output is at the moment its unbelievably stunning from all models upto day 7.

We do need to remember that this cold pool is just so significant, the showers could be more widespread and potent than previous events. We're not in the most favoured area that's for sure - but I wouldn't rule anything out.

Yes you are pretty much in the sweet spot for snow there in the NE somewhere like Consett could get 100cm I reckon.

From bitterly cold to bitterly disappointing in the space of 12 hours.

The GFS Op once again (4th on a row?) goes for a much quicker breakdown from the South... on each of the previous occasions, it's been very much on the mild side of the ensemble. I wonder if that's still the case or do we have a new trend?

Anyway, I’m not being drawn into a debate about 168hrs when we have 5 days of exceptional cold and snowy weather to deal with first.

Incredible output yet again to be frank.


MetO is amazing.

Brutally cold with a snow risk for many.

For me you just have to see a run like ICON at T+180 to see the struggle going on later in the runs for the models. Not worth losing sleep over.

I have my eyes firmly fixed on this thread.  After waiting all winter for snow it seems it might arrive just when i’d Rather it didn’t!  Sod’s law!


Serious question, that I know can’t be answered for certain yet but I‘d like to know what’s likely if you experts can help. We’re driving from North Notts to Birmingham on Thursday morning for an afternoon flight.  Will we make the journey and will the flight leave?  How much snow am I going to miss?

12z GFS has the cold peaking on Wednesday and Thursday where afternoon temps remain sub-zero
