18Z GFS is looking seriously wintry for last two days of January. Retrogression
has been a consistent theme now in the models for past 24 hours allowing a
cyclonic very cold northerly (originating where sea anomalies are negative) to
push down across UK behind a cold front next Weds into Thurs with 850 hPa
temperatures -5 to -8C. 12Z ECMWF is also quite marked about retrogression and
cold plunge. As is UKMO as far as I can see. Confidence in this must be
increasing to circa 60% I'd say. That might knock a record mild January on the
head for some people LOL.

Thanks for that but oh dear, Piers will be jumping with glee thinking
"I'm gonna get outta jail!" and some tabloids will believe him...
