- #PolarVortex split now nicely showing up in the 10-day frame. Sudden Stratospheric Warming (#SSW) is likely to be considered 'major' by 2019.
GIF - How's going from ~38C/100F to ~3C/37F in 24hours for a temperature drop?
GIF - EC Op forecasts now available to 15 days! Please share long range snow forecasts responsibly ;-)
- ECMWF 00z op run today is predicting an historic snowfall event over the UK for Wed/Thu next week. Widely >30cm of snow over inland southern half of England and Wales! Details will certainly change before we get there, but keep an eye on next week - it could be interesting! ❄️❄️
GIF - And just so the Mediterranean doesn't feel left out with the Atlantic having all the fun, a medicane (a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone), currently in the Ionian Sea looks to hit Greece later this week.

- Look at the size of the snowflakes! Stunning footage captured by Dan Mezők yesterday at 14:39 in Baia Mare (Romania) 🇷🇴 Approximately 240 m above sea level. Many thanks for sharing this with us!
00:00 - Bitterly cold across Scandinavia with Buresjön in Sweden falling to -34.7C last night. This is the lowest November temperature recorded here since 2010 & also the lowest in mainland Europe of the winter season so far. And it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon either..❄️
GIF - A great start to 2019 for cold lovers on the latest ECMWF. Easterly flow with widespread European cold... However, let's not get carried away. This ECMWF run is about 10-15C colder at 850 hPa in Western Europe compared to GFS. Nice to look at for now though.
- ECMWF incoming live right here --> wxcharts.eu/?panel=default… Significant blast of cold air is now likely next week. Models are still wrestling with the details.
