Or did I eat something dodgy for lunch? Kind of backed up by the assemblies, perhaps not as extreme as the model.

Alan, the charts next week are truly amazing. The polar jet is running well south into North Africa the Atlantic is coming well and truly blocked with deep cold becoming established over a lot of Europe. If this comes to fruition, and as you say ensembles are pretty solid now for the onset at least, this could well be a really special event. The downside for many is that Spring could be set back for weeks, especially in northern Europe.

Not sure I really share that excitement, I would if I thought it was going to be a notable (for March)event here, but I don't think the synoptics are right for that. It's not even as if this winter has been 'snow-starved' here, far from it so I'm not desperately looking for any 'last throw of the dice' winter snow action. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |

True we have had some good snow this winter but this spell is shaping up to be a long and very cold one, perhaps even the coldest of the winter. Add in greater insolation at this time of year and we could see some cracking convection in the deep cold air, even west of the Pennines, Col. I also fancy the speed of onset will take many by surprise too. (Not usw afficionados of course :-) ). So, yes I'm looking forward to it and when it is over then we can get on with the business of Spring and the main start of the growing season in April (at least that is when it is up here).

I've seen some 850mb plots and they just drop off the edge of a cliff in 4/5 days' time so the onset of the cold looks likely to be sudden. I have warned people at work about this and they seemed surprised ![]() I take your point about insolation and deep, cold air but I'm always sceptical about snow here in showery E/NE situations, but of course March is a whole different ball game to winter proper. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl |
