High confidence for cold weather on the way, but it is going to be
absolutely fascinating for us meteorologists.

I'm more or less ruling out a straight easterly with bitterly cold ice
days and air as "dry as a witches wotsit" scenario. What I am going for is
a "battleground UK". There's going to be some very interesting weather I
fancy.

06Z GFS not only has a battle but a World War one trench warfare scenario!
Fronts coming in from the west running up against the block. Heavy snow in
places, rain in others, but then turning back to snow again, a forecaster's
nightmare. I still fancy some red warnings will be on offer. Blood and guts,
toys out of the pram, severe weather, all the drama of a British winter :-)

Actually, a British February. The rest of the winter lacked a little
"drama" don't you think? Some may have thought there was going to be
"drama", on every occasion that the far reaches of the gfs showed
possibiities for cold, but it sort of didn't happen in early Dec, late
Dec, early Jan, mid Jan, or last weekend.

Rats, eh?

Still, like I said, it will get cold and snow at some stage, it was
just that no-one knew it would probably be next weekend, for many,
until a few days ago. *))
