Classic well-established omega block with SE England in cold quarter.
If that comes off, spells of heavy snow for SE England.

Very interesting scenario it is! I'm not so sure we'll get much snow this far
inland (High Wycombe) as most of the precipitation brought about by the "lake
effect" of the North Sea will have dropped over Essex & Kent by the time it
reaches us. No doubt we'll get a dusting or two though!

Interestingly, GFS shows the low further south-east and less deep, but I agree
the south-east is on a knife-edge where the VERY cold pool of air over central
Europe is concerned. The +276h 850mB map shows -10C air over the sout-east tip.
I know the accuracy this far ahead is low, but if it pans out, it could be VERY
cold for Essex & Kent with significant snowfall & drifting in a strong
north/north-east wind! Don't put the thermal underwear away yet!

Aagh! Every time I learn something new... it pushes something old out of my brain!

I get the feeling you've not given up on something coming off in the
next week Will, even when the rest of us are losing hope? I guess here
in Southend-on-Sea I am in one of the best places if it does come off.

I don't mention anything to anyone anymore - too many disappointments and
this may easily go the same way.

I know how you feel Dave, I've been getting quizzed about the outlook at
work and I find myself just not comitting myself and leaving ALL options
only. Gosh, I ought to work on BBC weather :-)

Keith, I don't understand why the rest of you are losing hope. Very
little has changed on the GFS (apart from normal day to day
variations) since Will first mentioned the 30% probability of
something "very interesting" from the East - and that's still how the
GFS looks to me. Very interesting, with lots of very cold air not far
East of us and at times, touching the East/South East of England.

In this situation *anything* could happen and that's a lot better for
lovers of snow and cold than we can usually say at this time of year,
these days.

Agree Dave, but Keith and I are just working on pure superstition these

What element(s) at T+0 produce these models to show an omega block in
the coming week?
There must be something going on, jet stream, troughs etc, that indicate
such changes.
