I'm not suggesting for one minute that this is what will or is even likely
to happen after next week, but it represents a true Rusian/Scandinavian HP
influencing us, the like of which we have not seen for a very long time ,
including the last two years. I suspect it is this kind of scenario
though, that leads the UKMO in its outlook, to reserve the right to have
cold as an option.

Unfortunately it is an outlier. Mind you remember the very mild outliers the
GFS OP had in the last spell?! A mouthwatering situation nevertheless.
Still, sleet and snow showers for me at altitude in the cold westerly next
thursday with sub 528 Dam air, unstable and 850s around -4C. That'll do for
starters, I have the day off work booked already, so I may take a stroll up
above 500 metres.
