That could be very interesting with an 850mb temp over much of the country

I am really getting twitchy as to it not being cold enough at low
level for significant snowfall, it almost appears that the cold pool
off Russia never really packs a punch in our direction. The 528DAM we
seem to be on the wrong side of it with the low in the North Sea not
helping. And then most of the run up to Christmas, although cold down
south, not cold enough to me :-(

In frontal situations like those, the 528 thickness is not particularly
useful, as the cold air is confined much closer to the surface.

Ah, just checked, I did add something on my spreadsheet which picked

You know Keith, OMG was exactly the words I uttered to my computer
screen when I saw the 06z gfs (and OMG yet again, note, my laptop is
getting used to this exclamation!). It is highly unlikely to pan out
exactly like that but we have an overall pattern which has a high
confidence (75%+) of producing wintry weather in 10 days and the
model;s are in almost complete areement. OK, the 00z ECM shows
something a little different, but that's likely to be an outlier.
Compared to the charts of the last few years, this really is OMG
territory - and if I'm saying that, after my long record of decrying
the idiots who shout "snowfest" at every cold chart at T240+ on the
gfs, then I reckon it is more likely to happen than not.

PS Wine tasting in a gym. Nice idea! *))

As I thought, the EMS ensemble mean shows colder than what was
indicated by the 00z chart. The cold pattern is very well set to at
last 10 days and probably further, though it looks as if it *may* turn
drier over the Christmas period. (Very low confidence in that, mind,
but if it was to turn drier, many areas would have snow-covered
Christmas, as there would be little thawing with the low temperatures
over the snowfields). ........Did I really write that? Strange times
indeed!

Methinks you are thinking of betting in the pre-Internet age. William
Hill are online now you know and take bets 24/7!

9/2 at William Hill this morning, best price on Oddschecker is 11/2
with Skybet, for snow in London. No change from yesterday evening.

My Dutch isn't very good but my reading of that output is different. If I've
read it right the only measure of temperature is the 2m plot for De Bilt and
the Op run is actually close to or often below the ENS mean out to day 10
(where the Op run ends).

What has changed on EC's 00Z Op run, and no doubt will continue to do so, is
the shape of the upper trough to the east of the UK and the subsequent
handling of any short wave developments in the North Sea. This has a
critical knock on effect on how far west any cold air in depth extends and
also how much precip. will affect the UK.

Jon.

Thank you, John. So do I ! No, I will not be returning to the UK in the
immediate future. I may be away from home more often than at present
though - especially in the summer half of the year. All still a bit in the
