12z run does seem to push the low a little further south introducing a
more definite north easterly across the SE, the small deepish low off SW
Ireland has never looked right to me, but GFS has been hinting this for
a couple of days now. Apart from the 1st to the 3rd the old Thickness is
still looking a bit marginal for my liking. Awaiting the ECMWF 12z run.

Last night's 18Z run seemed to hint that the cold air will never be
far away out to the end of the run. Given experience of these
situations I wonder how many on here would agree that whatever happens
we are looking at at least two weeks of notably cold weather with
frequent snowfall.

I agree Scott. This is looking like it is going to be a memorable cold
winter. It already is in Aberfeldy!
As for snow at end of year, I reckon New years Eve will see snow falling in
London on the revellers and on Keith too. Rain turning to snow elsewhere
from the north during Wednesday and Thursday as pressure falls run along the
Channel and very cold air creeps south, undercutting. We in Dartmoor are in
the mixing zone at present and I expect my rain to turn to snow during
tomorrow (Weds) and certainly by Thursday.

Festive cheers,

Will
