Thanks Will for the daily updates.

Everything to play for at the moment..bit like an Meteorologists
Advent calendar opening a different box every day - EC tonight is
Easterlies!

Merry Xmas to you and yours.

Cheers Phil, I love your image of an advent calendar.

Yes indeed EC T+240 (fantasy island) shows full blown retrogression
after Boxing Day with a bitterly cold Arctic northerly poised to sweep
south over Britain. It won't be right at that range of course but
nicely illustrates the possibilities once the upper flow gets distorted
into meridionality, which it will over the weekend.

That would be nice ;-) What is different this year, is GFS, which
normally goes for the "Day After Tomorrow" scenario, looks the least
exciting. It's a shame UKMO don't venture into the T+240 land, it would
be nice to compare. As always, this next two weeks often determines the
pattern for January and into February, but I still don't hold out much
hope for anything out the ordinary.

You wouldn't say that Keith if you looked at today's (17th) GFS 12z
evolution at T+192 ;-) . Load of rubbish of course - or is it??!! ;-))
It's getting like TWO on here with all this "Fantasy Island" and "all to
play for" stuff !

Well I think somethings up :-)
Seriously, I'll update later this evening once all the runs/ensembles are
in and my brain gets back in gear after a hard workout at the office
today.

It's all getting *very* interesting.
