Here it comes!
Looks great
Unfortunately precip seems to be sinking south of me just as the temperatures drop enough for proper snowfall.

Might be time to dig out the old....
Atlantic breakthrough given massive snowfalls to the west of the country. Including us.
All the way from Thursday night to Friday afternoon?
I hear your cries about a breakdown though, a fair worry to have but fear not.
Max temps on Saturday afer that snowfall

Haven't got a clue what they're all talking about, but still fascinating reading the sheer excitement from the amateur forecasters on the model output thread! By the sounds of it the latest charts are throwing up some seriously cold and prolonged wintry weather across all parts towards the end of next week! .. manic in there! .. worth a visit!
Quickest summary I can do to help you and anyone else out.
- Easterly Continues to later this week.
- Atlantic Low blows in from the west, however retains enough cold air to fall as snow across the west, midlands, south west and possibly push eastwards.
- The cold bed over the UK then breaks up the Atlantic low, with a Scandi high return us to frigid cold weather afterwards.
Literally coldie fanfic charts.

Snow on the top of Holme Moss (Holmfirth) 1700FT
Any houses up there for sale, at 500m you'd be guaranteed some snow from this

It’s just a phrase that’s always been used it basically means snow showers,I know what u mean though ,it might as well just say snow cos that’s what it’s gonna be
Sleet does not mean snow showers. Sleet is a wintry mixture of rain and snow. It's an entirely separate weather phenomena.

Been an issue up there?

Now... should I bring the rabbits inside? I've left them out in their hutch with -5°C overnight a few times lately, but I'm wondering whether the next week might be a big too much for them. They are born and bred in Durham, though, so...
Bring them inside, or heat up their outhouse so it's above freezing and keep them in that - at this short notice I'd imagine bringing in would be easier. They can stay out until around freezing, but as night temps are predicted to be much lower best to be safe side. Have read of attached RSPCA Guide.

Is it just me or from reading comments won’t be much snow about like March 2013 very cold dry no snow which is boring pointless having cold without snow or is it just me ?
There should be quite a bit of snow from the next 4-5 days - maybe not as much as 2010, March 2013 or March 2018 but widespread snowfall is highly likely.
The snowless but extremely cold feature were looking at is the Scandi high that the models are starting to pick up on/suggest for the end of the week. If it aligns right it could kick in and maintain existing snow-cover without really giving much more.

It can't be can it.....

Ummm are you saying that to a coldie who loves snow how can you not want snow out of it? of course I’d want snowfall it would be the first thing I’d want. It’s nothing shocking Canada temperatures are even more extreme then that.. but again people calling it BFTE... when really it’s just dry cold high pressure hardly exciting.
Veering out of the realms of model discussion into snow impact discussion so swivelling across here to continue this debate.
Infrastructural issues caused by some of those temperatures would be damaging enough and take long enough to fix without people needing to wait for roads to be cleared to get to the affected outages. If my powers going to go out due to frozen power lines etc I'd like it to be dry enough outside a) they can fix it sharpish and b) I can go out in it.

So why is everyone getting so hyped saying It’s another beast...
Because it would be a level of deep cold not seen in the UK for many years over and extended period of time should that come off with such a strong Scandi High, trust me the last thing you would want with those synoptics is snowfall.

Jesus 1and61 you must live up a mountain. Sticking snow! It’s just raining here.
I mean his location is Bacup Lancashire, 1000ft up in the South Pennine
or 304m asl
Anyway turned to proper snow here at 180m asl - not sticking, not far from you, give it another hour on you'll probably join in the fun.

Absolutely vile out there on my walk. Heavy rain most of the lower level route, with sleet as you climb elevation a tad.
Hopefully we can get the clear cold air sooner or later, as this 'here's what you could have had weather' is the second worst behind summer heat.

Proper sleet now.

There are are few gaps where showers can penetrate through given the chance and obviously the right wind direction
That's a SE flow rather than ESE flow at that point surely with the other one being E' flow?
ESE seems like it would need to go somewhere between the two. Let's hope we get the right one.
Anyway back to the here and now - there's definitely flakes in this rainy mix.

Dodging the Pennines???
I doubt it. Would have to come through Peak District surely?
-
Would the scandi high showing up on the models be any use to us for snowfall?
Would certainly be cold...

Interesting this band seems to manage to get across ok, with no rain shadow
Because it's an organised front rather than showers from the north sea.

I wish someone who wrote those text forecasts was on the forum. Where do they hang out?
They've found the only pub still open by the sounds of it. Or wfhing with a large bottle of wine by them.

That’s just taking the P!$$
You'd think the pennines were a few thousand metres not a few thousand feet going by some of these charts
