Now Freddie, you only have to scroll back:
The high pressure, which was centred to our east before the
weekend
On the 11th yes - but not on the 13th and 14th which is what I
thought you meant by "before the weekend". Difference in
interpretation.

It's as clear as a pikestaff.
No it isn't.

Freddie; I feel you are trying to do this completely from memory.
Definitely not.

Nowhere before have you mentioned upper air charts
That's a strange thing to say. The upper air drives the surface
features, so I shouldn't need to mention them. I don't think your
knowledge of dynamical meteorology is as complete as your knowledge
of comparing forecast charts. You need an appreciation of the
dynamics of the whole troposphere and how they cause the developments
that you see in the model forecast charts. If you did have that
knowledge then you would be able to see that the troposphere wasn't
in the appropriate configuration to produce retrogressive surface
features.

I do follow these charts on a daily basis
So why did you need me to link to them?



I don't think this particular forecast of mine in the OP was
perfect at all
I think it was a reasonable forecast of colder conditions arriving -
but not via retrogressive surface features.

it clearly retrogressed, pulling back SW, to =
the 16th.
Nope - that was a whole new high forming in the west atlantic and
trundling east.
