Well what a set of model runs today, a lot of eye candy for cold weather
fans and all to play for even if it is in Fanatasy Island, yes I've been
reading the TWO board LOL :-))

Remember ECMWF has hinted retrogression for a while now and now ensembles
and other models are backing this up with a high transferring to
Greenland/Iceland area by New Year opening the door for a long cold spell
with some proper snow over the UK in January. This might get serious, but
too early to tell that yet, still a chance it won't happen but it has to be
up to 60% it will occur in some form or other.

All eyes now on the next 12Z ECMWF run.

COME ON :-)

Now where did I put my *big* axe?

Will,

Is there any chance we can tempt you to post your forecasts on the Met
Monkey Forum? http://www.met-monkey.co.uk/weather.forum/index.php

I'm sure your forecasts & knowledge would be very well received.

Have a great Christmas up there on the Devon Alps.

I think that is the most significant aspect of the current GFS and EC
models. There is no resumption of the Westerlies in the 9 day period. Whilst
I cannot see any significant snowfall, the blocking will cool things off!
Also, of interest to me is the MetO Jan forecast which now gives below
average temps and probably below average rainfall which indicates a long
spell of high pressure.

There's no wood left in Sainsburys...might even need my axe..

Have you thought of using tinyurl ?

I'm afraid I never have - sounds like it could be useful though if some
e-mail clients have difficulty - I'll try and remember for the future.
