Default 18Z GFS seriously wintry

It looks as though the 00Z ECMWF has backed away from a cold plunge.

The ensemble data from both EC and the GFS still support the cooling
trend/plunge of sorts around the beginning of February. Might get a frost if
I'm, err, lucky.

In the short period the long TAFs are now showing the risk of particularly
strong gusts due to lee wave activity tomorrow as mentioned by several
already, e.g Newcastle with gusts of around 45KT/52MPH expected and a 40%
PROB of 60KT/69MPH gusts
