I recon that the next run of GFS will have reverted back to the norm.
It appears that the GFS model is infected with the "DREAM virus" which
doesn't clear until April 2005 :-)

A seemingly dead Atlantic, Azores low anyone?

Worth keeping an eye on of course, and it probably won't
happen but maybe, just *maybe* this winter has a sting in
it's tail?

Over the last couple of weeks or so the models have kept on wanting to

has up till now steadfastly refused to co-operate.
