Default Champagne on ice time for snow lovers

This evening's GFS run is just about perfect to produce a major snow fest
over much of the country to end the month.
Of course it's only one run and at the extremes of the ensemble, but it's
good too see the ensembles mean moving towards the likelyhood of an
extended cold period at a time of year when it's most effective, the like
of which we haven't had for a number of years.
February 91 and January 87.
Keep the cork in the bottle though, and let it chill.
Alex.


It certainly doesn't look too bad, Alex! "The Russian Bear slowly moves on"
(translation of Dutch winterlovers-talk!!). But particularly in this
situation Dutch meteorologists are very cautious - they tell us that the
Russian high is too far north-east and as one concluded: by Wednesday
moderate overnight-frost and the maximum temperature will stay beyond
freezing (Meteoconsult); the KNMI (Dutch Metoffice) give us maxima around +
3 C - light frost at night. In Holland its frost that counts, more than
snow.
This is what happens in Germany -- it's where we'd love to see our
winter-weather coming from:
