"12-16th December 2014 AB=80%

Scotland and NE England. DEEP SNOW likely in E+NE (espec) England &
South Scotland. Airports lkely disuprted inc Heatheow + Gatwick. Small

UK map - most of UK except N Scotland and W Ireland "HEAVY SNOW,
BLIZZARDS, prob heaviest in East and NE parts FEET OF SNOW IN PARTS,
East parts inc London + SE. Becoming extremely cold"

Not the last paragraph where it's hard to tell if he mean snow or cold
in the SE.

According to the BBC News Channel a few minutes ago the Met Office agrees with
the Express that "Britain is about to experience the most extreme weather for
100 years"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite.

It was all on twitter so it's fair game...! Actually it's a little bit
daft posting this as we all know how much tosh he forecasts - but this
one is interesting as he stands by his "method" even at such a short
range rather than at, say, 14-28 days out.

Musn't forget this one either:-

"FIRST AGAIN

SAT DEC 6

Sir Piers Says "ToldYa! We warned 1Dec and again 4 Dec that the period
5-8th(+/-1d) would see RAPID change of TV forecasts (standard UK
MetOffice etc model short range) towards our WeatherAction long range
forecasts (100d ahead in general, and map full detail over 21days
ahead). This has happened and will continue to happen.
"Already the MetOfficeYellowWarnings issued 5Dec (BELOW FOR THE RECORD)
have been surpassed by warnings of snow pentration to lower levels and
further South.
"Now there is talk of substantial BI + NW Europe blizzards 9/10th
(ABOVE). Given the 'Speed-Up' nature (old name for) of our 'Top Red
Weather (solar effect) R4(5-6th) and R5(7-8th) (all+/-1d) periods these
are likley to come earlier ~ 8-9th."

Of course this has one of the well known tricks of including "NW
Europe". Snow in the British sector = World's best forecast.
Snow somwhere in NW Europe in December = Almost World's best forecast.
It's called win/win or con/con As I call it.

Madden's Exacta forecast not looking too brilliant either is it!

He said: “Over the coming weeks and into November, it is likely to turn
progressively colder, even very cold at times, in particular, in parts
of the north as northern blocking becomes a somewhat more prominent feature.
This is likely to bring some significant snow across higher ground
within this period.
This may also bring the first snow event of the season to some much
lower levels of the country, in particular, in some parts to the north
and east of the country, but these wintry weather events may also not
necessarily be restricted to just these parts, and some much lower
levels of the country could also experience their first taste of wintry
weather for the season in terms of overnight snow or developing wintry
showers.
As the colder weather begins to take more of a stronghold throughout the
latter part of October and into November, widespread frosts and dense
fog patches will also become a quite prominent feature for many.
Mr Madden said sudden changes in weather and pressure systems could drag
swathes of freezing air from the Arctic across the UK with cold weather
likely until next spring.
This allows cold easterly winds to develop and increases the risk of
northern blocking across the UK.
A number of potentially very cold periods of weather and major snow
events are likely to develop throughout this winter across large parts
of the country, in particular, throughout the latter part of December
and into January."
