Well the developments later this week (strong winds, torrential rain, snow
and possible thunder and tornadoes) will soon be in the time range of the
higher resolution models. Going to be very interesting. Not much snow for me
on Dartmoor, apart from some light stuff on Thursday and perhaps some
showers tomorrow, but further north maybe a different story as warm tropical
air glides over a very cold sub-zero surface layer. Possible freezing rain
and ice too of course. A fascinating end to the week after some gorgeous
sunny dry frosty days. Speaking of which, ....... the great outdoors
beckons, time to relax, put on my walking boots and go for a 12 mile stroll
in the sun with my dog.

Must be gorgeous up there this morning. My 2 dogs love this time of year.
Any frost, strong winds, snow, and they seem to come alive and (like their
owners), regress to being pups!

Will you're an excellent meteorologist, but personally you’re barking!
12 miles stroll! LOL That's like walking from Wolverhampton to
Birmingham along the Stour valley railway line. I find it amazing you
call it a stroll as well. I can manage about 5 miles and that it, at my
age. (Coming up to 51 years old).

Inside temp 24C nice and toasty.

Yeah fantastic scenic walk. 2.5 pints of real ale in the pub at Postbridge.
Dog loved it (the walk). Most invigorating - super day. Nice to walk on
ground that is not boggy too, being frozen solid. I guess I'm lucky as
walking is my main hobby/sport now and I am quite fit. Mind you at my age
(60.5) you just have to keep going as it takes longer to start again after a
break. Also, don't beat yourself up Joe, I know many folk for whom 5 miles
would be a marathon!

Cheers,
Will

Getting back to the weather,the Wetterzentrale 9 day thingy is look quite
interesting for us coldies,
the low sinking into Europe again and enough high pressure to the north and
northeast to make a go of it this time. Will will no doubt be expanding on
that possibility quite soon ,unless of course he's still mulling over this
weeks abortion......some of our best winters have started around December
19th,apart from those which didn't.

Min Temp. was -4.1 deg.C at Guildford this morning, so my weekly bike ride was delayed to 11 am. The 30 mile round trip ride from Guildford to the outskirts of Farnham and passing through villages like Puttenham, Runfold, Tilford and Shackleford was most enjoyable despite temperatures around freezing. There was much hoar frost and some rime on trees near Seale & Puttenham. Despite a sunny start, there were fragments of stratus passing south and the Hogs Back was obscured several times. On passing through Wanborough Common golf course at 2:10 pm, the lawns were heavily frost covered and it was likely that the max. temp. would have styed below freezing here.
The Max. temp. had only reached 1.1 deg.C and the frost was already re-forming on the shed door on returning at 2:45 pm. Thick fog quickly formed by 4:45 pm in a temperature of -1.7 deg.C - so hopefully some interesting scenes tomorrow morning with regards to rime.

Pity about the aborted easterly. Hope Friday's event will be worth the 'pest from the west' returning. Could this deep 'low' end up developing a little like 8th December 1954? That occasion brought torrential rain (45~50 mm locally), heavy snow in northern areas, hailstorms, thunderstorms (10 hours of thunder at Reading - 1400~2400) and the Acton tornado.

Synoptics are a little similar!

Well I guess the feeling in your bladder has as much chance as the
models ROn. But the GFS 9 day chart you refer to is different each run
and they are all as likely/unlikely as each other!
