[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The Jamstec looks correct based on the central Pacific El Nino, strong east QBO and cold water surrounding the UK with a rather negative or cold AMO signal.

As expected here since the weekend, radar is showing SNOW showers blowing through Greater London and the Southeast this morning producing a light covering for some. London this morning. Here was Wiltshire this morning. These strong northeast winds tend to be colder at this time of the year as North Sea waters are colder and it’s […]

As a system pushes south over Scotland tonight, we expect another round of moderate, possibly heavy snow even to lower levels tonight.

Note it takes a route into arctic Scandinavia and then sweeps AROUND the ridge core positioned between […]
Models agree on cold to very cold east through at least Mid-Feb. EPS Control Remember, here’s what the CFSv2 has for February. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] [/s2If][s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_level1)][magicactionbox id=”18716″][/s2If]
Models are showing the development of a long fetch ENE flow late next week. This air would be a true ‘beast from the east’ as the GFS sends continental NE Europe air into SE England along with the -10 isotherm at 850mb.. Sea effect snow for London and Southeast? [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] 850mb See video for discussion. [/s2If][s2If current_user_cannot(access_s2member_level1)][magicactionbox id=”18716″][/s2If]
It’s not often you see this off the CFSv2 monthly! What a brutal February it has for the Northeast. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Fits with what’s been shown here from a good couple of weeks ago that the focus of winter’s worst will be in the Northeast first half of February.
