It's also probably worth pointing that whilst this thread now covers 240 hours of trying to spot something vaguely interesting in 240 hours time, there has in fact been a very interesting 240 hours of weather. Something Dawlish may have missed by trying to spot something 240 hours in advance and posting to this thread 24 times!

In fact it's been a truly remarkable December.

Indeed it has. The assessment in my post of December 24th, although not a forecast per se, was reasonable regarding wetness, storminess and continued strong zonality; and the ECMWF runs before Christmas turned out to be pretty good in identifying the current push of more frigid air across Russia towards SE Europe, and the colder conditions across Poland / Scandinavia temporarily towards Germany this weekend but not much farther.
