Just now, Aleman said:
And just watched Darren Bent on BBC 24 and no snow mentioned for here between now and Saturday. HHhhmmm ....
The forecasts I've checked show snow for some Wednesday into Thursday, then cold and dry up to Sunday.
Any forecast 3 days+, I tend to ignore.
For actual snow forecasts, I don't put much stock in anything a day or two in advance.

From M.W.I.S
PLANNING OUTLOOK
All mountain areas of Britain from Wednesday 16th January 2019
A cold front moves south on Wednesday, and freezing levels will drop markedly. Showers of snow or hail to increasingly low levels Weds-Thurs. Pressure then builds to leave fair and frosty conditions later in the week, although complications arise as low pressure and fronts try to edge in from the west. Some snow is possible, perhaps focused on Wales and N England. The general outlook into later January is cold, with snow accumulating on the mountains, but precise detail uncertain.

Stunning winter morning, clear blue skies, no wind and the slightest snow covering.
Mixed results for the ski centres overnight, although Cairngorm and the Lecht webcams are encouranging this morning.
A colder week from Thursday onwards but dry, at least up until Sunday.

well that was a windy old training run, nice to see there is still some optimism on the Model Thread about things turning cooler, for MBY its looking dry with temps no lower than 4c so running should still be ok.
Temperatures are already heading south up here, heavy snow forecast for Glenshee ski centre today.
Fingers crossed the webcam shows something positive tomorrow:

UK Outlook for Friday 18 Jan 2019 to Sunday 27 Jan 2019:
It will be mostly settled for a time on Friday, especially in the east, before thickening cloud and outbreaks of rain, perhaps with some hill snow, try to move eastwards later, with strong winds. The rain and hill snow will make further eastward progress on Saturday, perhaps with northeastern areas staying dry. Thereafter, it looks set to remain mainly cold, unsettled and sometimes windy, with gales possible in the north. Any milder spells will tend to be brief, and associated with longer spells of rain. The rain could turn to snow almost anywhere, but particularly across northern and central areas, especially later in this period. Some drier, brighter spells are likely, perhaps with snow showers, especially in the east. During such spells, frost could become widespread and severe.
If memory serves, severe frost is within -6c -to -11c range.

Poor winter so far. If memory serves, -8c this month.
Coldest for the UK this winter has been Braemar at -10.5c?
Scottish ski centres have had a miserable time, although that should improve today onwards.
-
Improved snow outlook for Scottish ski centres starting today. Heavy snow forecast for Glenshee this afternoon.

If it does manage to snow in the next few weeks it'll be interesting for me as i'm starting a new job tomorrow and I have a BMW.
The bad thing is, the office is less than a mile from my house so in theory I could attempt walking it, whereas before it was 20 miles away.
I own a BMW X5, with the factory fitted 20" wheels its a nightmare in winter conditions. My advice would be buy a set of winter alloys and tyres.
I do a lot of snowboarding, which can mean driving driving in atrocious conditions, with winter wheels and tyres, the X5 is very competent.
Obviously if you hit black ice, there's not much you can do.

I've probably put a dampner on the snow now - just ordered two snow shovels. Never owned one, looks like the weather is getting snowy so took the plunge.
Would love the need to use them in a week or so
Sat here kicking myself. I sold my snowblower back in September.

The Met are forecasting snow for my location early Monday morning. Even at 3 days out, that forecast will more than likely change.

A further 5 feet of snow being forecast for Northern Austria over the weekend. Astonishing!
-
Parts of Scotland, Aviemore and, Braemar have snow forecast for next Wednesday - Met Office.
