Sur MT said this morning one of the models was showing cold lasting till new year, howl your horses there nacho.nacho libre wrote: »I suppose you're right. As nice as the snow is to look it has to go at some point. Also Businesses, particularly the hotel industry, need some sort of relent to recoup their losses.
M.T. did say he saw potential for cold to return towards Feburary. So all is not lost as you say.
On a seperate note I just realised that I didnt see any one complaining about the snow on here this week with those special threads
we are hardy folk up here in the North and West :pac:0 -

An utter rout of the current cold regime by the 4th January!

not looking good according to the ukmo. it would mean bastardi was right in the end
Monday 20 December 2010 to Sunday 26 December 2010
A pretty landscape?
Even though English Channel coasts have a brush with "warmer" weather, the ground is cold everywhere and coastal rain here will freeze overnight.
Night time temperatures may well breach record lows, currently standing at -25 to -27 depending on the area described. Daytime maxima will, for many places with snow on the ground, fail to reach zero Celsius.
At the end of the week, as a discrete low pressure centre forms over central Europe, we pick up an increasing easterly wind which brings snow for most of eastern and central Britain, in blizzard form and to disruptive depth again.
Northern Ireland and western Britain should enjoy cold sunshine.
Monday 27 December 2010 to Sunday 2 January 2011
Finally an end to it?
Further snow, widespread ice, severe overnight frosts and some freezing fog are likely in most parts of the UK at first. More of the same then.
Eventually this blocked weather pattern will shift and it is at the end of this week that it is forecast to happen. The transition itself will cause thaw by both rising temperature and falling rain. This sustained release of frozen and falling water may cause its own problems.
Monday 3 January 2011 to Sunday 16 January 2011
Settled in to unsettled
This looks more like our usual winter - mild, windy and sometimes wet. There is a nice signal for longer dry periods and sunny intervals.
Next week
Once the block of cold weather has been shifted and not returned within the week, it's likely to stay gone for a while. Wintry wet and windy weather could well be the order of the day.0 -

Nacho you failed to post the start of the BBC outlook
Summary
An Arctic end to the year
Despite differences in forecast model output, sometimes contradictory, the majority opinion keeps us in Arctic air with further snow and severe frost until next the start of 2011.
The New Year should bring Atlantic weather to our shores helping to raise temperatures, causing a thaw and allowing sunsine that actually feels warmer!

Monthly forecasting
The weather beyond about a week ahead stretches even the most experienced weather forecaster. Complex numerical weather forecast models from the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) are run many times for the month (and season) ahead to build up a picture of the likelihood of different weather types affecting the UK.

just bear in mind that they are forecasting for the the UK, so while it may hang on there, in Ireland we could be back to average temperatures or above. Though, it does give some grounds for optimism for possible frontal snow- at least for a time between the 24-26. the ecm has consistently shown a swift breakdown which is why Gerry Murphy has a spring in his step:D, while the ukmo shows the cold air putting up a fight.
one of the models is going to have back down come tonight or tomorrow. let's hope it's the ecmwf. also let's hope that like last January, the depth of the cold is being understimated by met eireann and the ecm, and we end up with another 12 hour period of heavy snow- just like we did towards the end of the big freeze last January.0 -
