Interesting looking at the MetO ensemble output today (not publicly
available) and the 12Z runs. Deep and stubborn very cold air over Greenland
continues to leak south reinforcing the jet and low-level baroclinic zone
maintaining the cold westerly type with a north-south gradient in
temperature. Already sleet has reached high ground in the SW with snow in
Wales. Over the next few days it looks like we will get some milder
interludes in the south as deep lows spin up in mid-Atlantic and buckle the
flow. Also the baroclinicity sinks south putting the UK bang in the firing
line for some rapid deepeners later on with cold air entrained, which will
be quite exciting! Only a small chance now of high pressure establishing
over UK or near continent. The picture is one of continuing cold zonality
with increased high potential vorticity (energy) in the flow.

Well I have to say Will just been out for my walk and it was bitter
which took me aback seeing how much of the Atlantic this air has been
over before it got here.

Truly Taters in Sydenahm with a cold bitter wind whistling through
Pound Land in the High Street. Better watch out for the Donar Kebabs
tonight -they good congeal very quickly and root people to bus stops
and the like.

Worryingly, I'm finding this cold going right through me. I'm going to
have to start wearing old peoples clothes to combat this now I've turned
61. Also my eyes won't stop watering, even when I get indoors. This
could also be a "getting old" thing as the doctor says your tears don't
drain away so well and I might have to have the eye equivalent of a
stent in my tear duct. How long will my snow loving last? I've seen
others waver with age.
