Insane temperature differences across Central England. 12C variation across 5 miles

Winter was over on the 06z but winter is back on the 12z GFS. I hear ' When the GFS goes cold, all the models are not reliable, when the GFS has a wobble, all the other models are checked as if lives depend on it.' 12z is cold 🤣 @TWOweather @GavinPartridge

My ski trip to Austria at the beginning of Feb. Mid-winter and this. I go in March but recent years have seen mixed trips so we went a month earlier 🤷‍♂️. -5 at the summit and +17 degrees at the bottom.All junior slopes shut. @TheSnowDreamer @TWOweather @GavinPartridge @bbcweather

Exceptionally cold today here. Freezing fog meant the Max was only -1.3C. Notable for early December. However I expected the cold to last longer given the synoptic set up across the NH.

Very cold in Scotland already. Impressive lows for December 2nd. Also pretty cold across the Midlands and SE. Warmer air approaches the SW and some rain / snow tonight for some. Looks messy and wet though.

Last December ended becoming very cold for 12 days with several severe frosts. Not sure this current week will be quite as cold.

Today felt like a traditional winters day. Cold start, lovely afternoon and a cold evening. Rarer than the blue moon these days.

The cold over Scandinavia has been relentless this November. Exceptionally cold and just adds to the continuing extremes we are seeing. Depth of cold that severe is very rare in any generation.

Temperatures falling away this evening already. Widespread frost tonight for many. Some traditional winter weather on the way.

Colder air filtering over the UK today. Still mild to the South and West and generally Western Europe. Very cold over the NE, especially for November.

GFS still showing a cold period next week. A very blocked pattern but a messy picture for the UK as usual being on the edge of Europe. A lot of cold air to the East.

Lots extremes across the World In July. We have become used to heat in the summer and lots of talk about how poor July has been in the UK but let's not forget we've actually had an average July. Admittedly wetter than average but a July like this was actually what should happen.

February's in recent years have been very mild and wet. Only 2018 stands out on its own for a cold month. Lengthening days and stronger sun can give us some glorious early spring weather. It would be nice to get a cold month with some snow to cap off winter.

Winter enters the final period. So far it's coming out about average with December below and January above average. It's been a season of notable opposites, x2 dry cold spells and x2 mild spells. ECM shows one colder option into February, GFS says no to that at the moment.

UK one of the milder places this morning across Europe. Some cold temperatures across Spain today.

1st February looks quite cold and unsettled across parts of UK, then to be replaced by strong HP signals. Conditions under the HP uncertain but like this week could be cloudy, damp, chilly by day and milder by night. Soon see.....

Southern Europe generally staying below average next few days while above average anomalies strengthen over Eastern areas. UK generally above average into February.

This winter has been pretty incredible so far for the number of v.cold frosts & no snow cover. There's not been 1 flake of snow here yet. X24 subzero nights. @TheSnowDreamer December 2022 x14 Top 5 -9.5 -8.2 -5.4 -5.3 -4.7 January 2023 x10 so far -7.5 -6.2 -5.6 -3.5 -3.4
