Agreement and consistency for a change.

**At T+240, on 15th Jan 2015, the UK's weather will have a source to the north, or north-west of the UK, bringing snow showers, or longer periods of snow to the hills of the UK, especially in the north, but *perhaps* some lower level snow showers further south than Scotland. Colder everywhere in the daytime and at night, than at present, with some sharp frosts around this date.**

There you go. An 80% chance of a change by mid-Jan. Chances of some lowland snow showers further south, eh? Perhaps not in Dawlish 😀.

Blimey , oh well, I suppose its best to get disappointed now instead of
bloody waiting for it.

There has for some time now been a bit of a trend towards a change
around that date. The GFS ensembles now show a majority trend for
something colder around the 14th on as does the latest ECM run. 10 days
is a long time but it could be the first little cold snap of the winter
for us soft southerners.
Dave

Anyway, though the GFS 12Z operational run may look unremarkable at
T+288, the GFS ensemble and the ECM operational run and ensemble look
much more encouraging for cold-weather lovers from about 8-9 days out.

Well it's bound to happen after four of us have suggested it now :-)

I know we must not look too far ahead on the models but gfs is not
looking like anything long term is setting in, although a second
northerly follows at the end of the run. It maybe just a start of a
change that we will not get properly until February or later?

I'm surprised you have missed the opportunity over the last few weeks to
predict unrelenting mild & wet conditions. Surely you would have
considered the chances to have been 80% on many occasisons?

And now you stick your head abouve the parapet with a major type change!

I just couldn't be bothered, Col. I've said I was looking for a change. Many times in the past, I could have boosted my 80% average success, by forecasting on a daily basis, but I always leave it at least 3 days. It was so obvious a change was not coming (implied by me still looking for it and ignoring the suggested model change around the start of the New Year), that I just didn't think a forecast was needed. Like I said, I was looking for the change.

Taking forecasting to a new level.

Or, in fact, reduced self claimed 80% success, you need to start thinking about maths as well as grammar. Anyway, you always leave at least 3 days between forecasts, which is true. Could you remind us how many there were in total in 2015?

I didn't think a forecast was needed. Correct, nor is it now. Presumably all other forecasters will stop forecasting now, as we all know it's going to rain.

Such arrogance.

What a complete mess of a news post. No quoting, no separators, no idea who
said what, hopeless.
