true, the main thrust of the colder winds look like flowing down the north sea...

BUT
the anomaly charts have been and are consistent in suggesting high to our northwest, low to our east/northeast. the problem has been that this mean upper patterns evolution isnt a straight one, hence the doubts and uncertainty.
however, with charts as consistent for cold as they have been then its only a question of time before a real cold blast hits us..... and this mornings ops suggest we are a week away from a REAL cold blast, with sharp overnight frosts and snow showers in eastern areas.
the mean upper flow was predicted to be from the northwest, and by tuesday thats the direction our weather will be coming from, whilst the first shortwave on wednesday doesnt deliver much cold, the second due next weekend now looks like fulfilling the picture the anoms have been predicting for a while now.
the arctic blast (if it arrives) or cold blast part 2 though isnt expected to last more then 3 days as the anoms keep the mean upper flow from the northwest. so northerlies or westerlies will not be lasting.
