Whilst I share many of this groups enthusiasm for a potential Easterly blast
(blow would do ).I fail to see that the resident High which has been sitting
over the Southwest for what seems for ever,could possibly migrate north and
link up with that very illusory phenomenon 'the Siberian High' .
I've wracked my memory for any previous occurrences ,but can't remember a
single instance when that's happened before . Sure Highs do migrate
NorthEast across the UK from time to time ,but never one that's been in
residence for so long in one position.
Hopefully I will be proved wrong ,but even the efforts of Joe *******i and
our own illustrious Will seem doomed to the graveyard of 'whoops ,maybe next
year '.
Yeah, January 24th can be the most miserable day in the year sometimes.....

Where are the DREAMS of your children, eh?

The answer IS that they are in fact LOST. JUST LIKE ALL OF THE DREAMS
OF INCREASINGLY ALL OF THE CHILDREN ON THIS STUPID ISLAND - INCLUDING
MYSELF!!!:-( :-( :-(

I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN THE LASTEST G.F.S.?!!!:-( :-( :-(

I can remember this happening. Have a look at the charts for the first
few days of February, 1991.

Aah, the good ol'days! Can't see it happening this time. This current "cold
snap" has barely made zero even at night. I would have called this normal
winter weather once. Still at least I saw some snow today - for the third
year running.

Sadly I agree with you. But I also feel from this evening's data that
the winter is not quite dead yet.

But you wouldn't expect anything extreme at this stage. We haven't yet
started to draw in air from the continent. Even if/when we do, it is
likely to take some days for it to get really cold here, since northern
Europe temperatures aren't very low at present. However someone
mentioned in another thread that large areas of Europe now seem to be
covered, so Europe could start to cool down quite rapidly.

John,that High was not an Azores jobby ,it was largely over Europe,and they

Look at the charts for the first 3 days of that month and you'll see a
High not a million miles away from the Azores, which is the one that I
was referring to. It looks to me as though on the 4th it moves NE-wards
and gets absorbed into the High centred over the northern Baltic, though
other interpretations of the charts (I'm looking at those in "Weather
Log") are possible. You'd need charts at 6 hour rather than 24 hour
intervals to be sure.

Of course I'm not trying to claim that it was an exact (or even very
close) parallel with the current situation. Not only is the Atlantic
High much further north this time, it is also more intense than the one
in 1991 was.
