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 :-)

Plenty of potential here, and it could go either way. But until the
cold has got well established to our east and the high shows signs of
getting together with a developing Mediterranean low, we're all
sitting on the fence "watching this space". I still have the feeling
it's going to be a half baked affair that will never quite get there.
Of course I'm talking about a widespread event, but locally with some
high ground there is going to be some disruption over the next few
days.
