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.

GFS seems quite keen on a big anticyclone on it's later days, which
appears to me could still be quite cold for the east in those SE winds,
but again anythings up for grabs at that range atm.


Surprised at the Met Office warning so early, I wouldn't have expected
any major snow for at least 24 hours?
