    Just updated 

     

    An area of high pressure looks to build to the north, and it will likely feel cold or very cold, especially in brisk easterly winds. Snow showers are possible across the country during the early part of the period, but most widespread and heaviest for northeastern areas. Drier weather to follow, with widespread overnight frosts, although wintry showers can still feed in from the east coast. Any organised areas of cloud and precipitation arriving from the southwest will not progress very far into the country as a result of the high pressure. However, they can bring the potential for widespread snow across areas where they bump into cold air. Patches of ice and other disruptive wintry hazards remain a possibility for all areas.

    I was surprised how far north this got looking at the radar.Hopefully many more of us in the region have seen some today.

    I did ok here in Nuneaton with around 5 cm so far,enough to see families making snowmen and sledging on the common behind us.Great to see the little ones enjoying this ,some for the first time.

    I am too old now to play in it lol,but there's something magical about snow falling and seeing everywhere under a white blanket.

    A quick glance at the last UKV model shows the band coming south again this evening but fragmenting as it does.Still the way to look at it anymore is a bonus.

    Looking like a good freeze tonight.Surface temp 05z Monday morning-

    Just watched Points West and Ians forecast was brilliant! He's got to be one of the best local forecasters!

    He showed, ECM, UKMO and GFS predictions for the snow risk on Sunday! Each model shown individually on the forecast, with relevant ppn mapping for each model.

    Basically, as we are aware, details uncertain, but the risk is there.

    Hope we don't get the met office version

    The trick when going into the MOD thread is to decipher the language correctly into realistic interpretation.  Like below for example;

    "most severe January in decades" equates to the south of England might see a couple of cm's of transient snowfall, some frost's are possible and Londoners will need their jumpers on.

    "it's a whiteout" equates to a harsh frost at lower levels and a dusting of snow at some favoured higher level locations.

    "blizzard conditions" equates to some grapeul blowing around in a soft breeze.

    " feel freezing at the surface" equates to milder 850hpa temps starting to erode any colder 850hpa temps but that doesn't matter because the UK is in a dome and shielded from anything that actually dictates the weather up above.  Birdlip might hit 0c at 01:30am.

    "the 850hpa temps don't matter" equates to less cold air is making inroads but I don't want to believe it.

    "that would feel bitter in the wind" equates to it will feel a bit nippy on Southend pier.

     

    That's it stay positive
