The medium range models are a continuing source of light entertainment. The 00z

ECMWF: Bitterly cold easterlies setting in.
GFS: Very mild SW'lies
GEM: Very strong, cold westerlies with polar maritime air

All that can reasonably deduced from that lot is that, on the basis of current
knowledge, the evolution of the weather pattern that far ahead is
unforecastable to any useful level of reliability at present. Long may that
state of affairs continue :-)


That GFS run has sent the model output discussion thread on TWO into
meltdown, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth!

It's all immaterial to me anyway as guess where I'm going tomorrow!

On the one handit would be good to miss 3 weeks of dismal winter weather
but I would be gutted ifI missed out on a significant snow event.
