Default European high and mild south-westerlies at T240?

But if you have snow on the ground (though of course not every extended
cold spell gives you that), it does an awful lot to counteract that
darkness. It's just one of the delights of snowy weather for me (others'
MMV).

Looking at the 06hr gfs out put, the highs not hanging around, they
seem to be going for a cold low over the UK, quite usual for the 2nd
half of November, a precurser to a mild winter. (wait for the flack!)
Of course it will change again on the next run.

Could be Keith. On the gfs, pressure looks as if it could build at 5
days and remain high for a few days, but may begin to fall after T200.
The pressure in Berne (just for my stalker) may rise to 1025mb for a
while, but the high may well not persist. ( - for anyone else, I've
used it as a proxy criterion for measuring the persistence of a
European high before). The ECM shows no European high at this time
anyway. The chances of a European high building were low yesterday and
are even lower today.
