It's snowed on four of the last five days here and more is forecast for
tomorrow night and Thursday morning. So potentially snow on six out of seven
days this week. The mean temperature for the last five days is sub zero
here. By any stretch of the imagination it's not mild. In fact I think it's
both colder and snowier than the GFS or met office forecast for this time 7
days ago.
The suckers gap never really existed except in the permanent search for a
siberian easterly forecast 7 days in advance.
I'm not sure whether people are trying to see 2 weeks in advance or beyond
the edge of their nose sometimes.

Alex, somewhere up north.- Hide quoted text -

Hi, Alex,
Same here, they do make me smile sometimes.

Copley - not so far north but far enough, thank goodness!

OK, I suppose if that low towards the end of the ECM 12z run anchors
itself over iceland and the high were to sink southwards, as shown,
then the present set of mild/cold battles will be over. The trouble is
that is shown there at T+240! The odds have lengthened a little again
on cold at T240, but confidence remains below forecast levels.
