Indeed, Greece and Turkey always seem to end up with the cold from the
perpetual GFS Easterly "slider" as I have named it, opposed to the
famous GFS Northerly "toppler". Ensembles always predict -18C 850's here
a week out and dilute it and shift it S.E each day up to the arrival.
On this occasion we get a glancing blow and -10 850's so the model is
gradually improving. Why they don't reprogram the thing to get it right
every time I don't know, but luckily the Met Office seem to and they
have been excellent with their forecasts up to and during this spell.

Yes, I agree. Mainly because they have been very honest and said "We
don't know" at distances above 5 days, throughout. *))
