I can't remember the near continent being quite so cold as it
currently is and I wonder whether the models are allowing for this.
Zonality seems to be struggling to establish itself, and I doubt the
UKMO medium range forcast will be correct.

Then there's this northerly scenario that the models keep thowing into
the ring.

Of course we could just stay on the edge of the action, but the SE in
the cold for sometime to come.

Wonder if Will has any new thoughts?

Temperature dropping like a stone, which is unusual given the NE wind
with shallow cumulus coming off the North Sea.

Temp -2.9°C
