Interesting looking at the MetO ensemble output today (not publicly
available) and the 12Z runs. Deep and stubborn very cold air over Greenland
continues to leak south reinforcing the jet and low-level baroclinic zone
maintaining the cold westerly type with a north-south gradient in
temperature. Already sleet has reached high ground in the SW with snow in
Wales. Over the next few days it looks like we will get some milder
interludes in the south as deep lows spin up in mid-Atlantic and buckle the
flow. Also the baroclinicity sinks south putting the UK bang in the firing
line for some rapid deepeners later on with cold air entrained, which will
be quite exciting! Only a small chance now of high pressure establishing
over UK or near continent. The picture is one of continuing cold zonality
with increased high potential vorticity (energy) in the flow.

Well I have to say Will just been out for my walk and it was bitter
which took me aback seeing how much of the Atlantic this air has been
over before it got here.

Truly Taters in Sydenahm with a cold bitter wind whistling through
Pound Land in the High Street. Better watch out for the Donar Kebabs
tonight -they good congeal very quickly and root people to bus stops
and the like.

Worryingly, I'm finding this cold going right through me. I'm going to
have to start wearing old peoples clothes to combat this now I've turned
61. Also my eyes won't stop watering, even when I get indoors. This
could also be a "getting old" thing as the doctor says your tears don't
drain away so well and I might have to have the eye equivalent of a
stent in my tear duct. How long will my snow loving last? I've seen
others waver with age.

I wavered when I was 17. That was in the dim and distant '70s.

I may have to dig out my woolly hat. For the first time this winter,
when I went out for my newspaper at 8am I noticed my ears feeling cold.
Apart from that it didn't seem too bad. Perhaps the wind has
strengthened since then? (Not exactly a WR, but Cranleigh, Surrey if
anyone ies curious.)

Well my new sledge is in the garage waiting for my 59.5 year old body to get
on it and go careering down the hills. Hopefully Father Christmas will being
me some new walking shoes as well so I can go yomping in the Dartmoor snow
in the New Year. I want to be buried in a snow tomb when I finally go,
hopefully in a couple of decades or so yet, LOL :-)

Colder today at last! The zonal train continues and we've had a change
for the colder. Nothing more on the horizon except oscillations
towards zonal cold. Nothing "very cold" anywhere in the UK, with
respect to daily averages at all. My overcoat was much needed first
thing this morning. Better this afternoon, but it's a whole load
better than this time last year!

"there is no cold westerley"

ah defeat
how does it feel?

It's a very lazy wind up here, goes right through you instead of
around. Give me some nice warm snow...

Had another inch or so over night, and a heavy dusting around 1800
this evening. Temperature has been hovering around freezing all day,
min -0.8C max 0.5C, just warm enough to fully clear the concrete
areas that I shovelled a couple of inches off this morning.
