Paul S made a good post earlier about why look towards Holland for the snow as they won't last over the North Sea,only if frontal.
probably because i was looking and going on about the Dutch radar, although I wasnt looking for streamers from there tbh but anyway Paul's post very good
EDIT....
This was Paul's post, very informative
You guys do realise you dont need to look at the Dutch Coast for Streamers dont you ? Please tell me you dont think they travel all the way across the North Sea ??
Every single Streamer event has showers initiating within 50-75 miles of our coast in the shallower waters around the Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Kent coasts, the only snow that comes from Holland and Belgium is frontal snows.
I can see a weak streamer setting up in the perfect place atm, about 50 miles off the Coast making a perfect line which is heading WSW At present, granted it is pretty weak but it is there none the less, probably wont settle though lol
