Still consistency with gfs in that no zonality appears on the horizon,
although the detail is impossible at this stage with either a
northerly or an easterly? The one thing that is striking is that the
high it puts in the mid Atlantic seems to have no competition from any
lows coming out of the eastern States, in normal years it would have
been easily toppled from lows coming around the top of it.

MetO goes for another dose of Winter...can see the headlines now
'travelers struggling to get home for Christma'... deep joy.

UK Outlook for Friday 10 Dec 2010 to Sunday 19 Dec 2010:

It is likely to start mainly dry over much of England and Wales, with
temperatures recovering closer to normal. Further north, it will continue
more unsettled and windy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle, perhaps with
hill snow during the first weekend. Most southern parts should remain
rather cold but mainly dry into next week, with a few sunny spells and
overnight frost and freezing fog patches in places. Towards the end of the
second week, it will probably turn more unsettled, with sleet and snow
becoming more widespread, especially in northern and eastern parts. There
is likely to be some significant falls in places. Temperatures will become
below or well below average with widespread overnight frosts.

I jsut watched the Country File forecast and it obviously only went up to
next weekend with no hint of what may possibly be down the line.

Have to say though UKMO have have been very accurate with their cold late
Nov/Dec forecast.
