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.

Ask those in central Scotland who suffered the severe gales in
December if this winter has lacked a little 'drama'......

Cold Col. That's winter "drama" for our Haytor member. Cold and snow.
