Hi Keith,
I've thought about that. If I'm sober and not weighed down too much by food I'll
do my forecast on Xmas Day evening, otherwise it will be Boxing Day.
I'm serious about more snow late next weekend into next week (as per my last
trend forecast). The longwave pattern looks like retrogressing and the next
trough extension will henceforth be further west, putting us well and truly in
the cold air trough, which means it will last longer. Ensembles are now trending
that way and getting increasing support from the main deterministic models.
As for Joe, I respect his undoubtded knowledge of the global circulation and
atmospheric dynamics. I'm not a fan of his column, purely because of the way it
is written, but I can understand where he is coming from and his thoughts are
very soundly based IMO.
Cheers,
Will.

Ah, could you enlighten us on that last comment Will :-)
And as it is Christmas day on Thursday (in case anyone didn't know
g), will you be posting your forecast earlier this week or not at
all?
I'm curious to your thoughts of Joe *******i's European column? I find
his writing quite interesting, albeit sometimes a bit sensational, but
his theories, do you find them valid?
