Cold Event,,, part 2!

[peckerwoo]

Last week we had a good chance of a moderate cold,snowy & Icy period to affect the UK Cold Event - General chat but high energy and temperature gradients to our NW brought low pressure systems through the potential block and although it`s stayed cool with recent Wintry outbreaks, specifically but not totally resigned to Scotland, it was always in danger of not materialising? (the aforementioned "block")

However,

The recent models are in huge favor of a large and organised NW Russian/Scandinavian/Barents Sea High pressure ridge setting up shop from late Mon 10th with more or less everything flowing east to west of a Siberian air mass flavour?

The -5 isotherm looks to be well into all but Western areas of Britain come Tuesday PM and with the -10 Iso following closely behind then Weds 12th could well be an Ice Day for many central, Eastern & scottish areas?

Again, Snowfall & precipitation forecasts are nigh on impossible to predict this far out but the situation looks very favorable for trough developments to bring frequent and prolonged snow showers to the above mentioned areas but "wet snow & sleet" may be the outcome for low lying coastal areas but it will all be down to how cold the upper troposphere air temps will be and how much the North sea will modify those -5 & -10 Iso`s?

Not 100% but confidence is very high (75%) as we stand tonight and this time we are looking to our East not North, which can often be a much more severe and intense direction for Snow & Ice "Big J"

Ok so just for me can this be be made stupid proof please?.

Of course young man,

It`s highly likely that next week your going to require many a layer of clothing on due to the Increased cold weather with a Zippo hand warmer snuggled around ones midriff being my weapon of choice

oh, and your area down in the far SE can be the coldest area across the UK with an "Easterly" due to very little "warming" courtesy of the minimal sea track/gap?

Appreciate your forecasts Peckerwoo,

[Big J]

Woooo! Bring it on!

I find mud tires dig holes in snow rather then grip,similar to sand.
