This chase for snow is stressing me out. I’m gonna catch a flight to Scotland next year when I know a blizzard is coming

Wednesday and Thursday could be the day for you. Possible N France or channel low sweeping through.
Aspege and icon have it clipping the coast or in the channel at the moment it’s very knife edge Tuesday

This couldn’t have aged any worse at the moment.
I don’t think it’s too overhyped. Netherlands and Germany are likening this event to 1978, and there could be ice days for over a week and a half. As for the banning part!? You’ve lost me there.
We don’t live in Germany..

What’s so exciting about that chart?

Aspege and icon 12z take it into the channel again every 6 hours it changes. The icon had it up to Bristol S.Wales earlier

If they use the met office one then yes it only includes north east fringe of west country and wording says this -
"Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow, the latter mainly over hills, moving westwards across the area during Saturday night. This will lead to 1-4 cm of snow accumulating in places, mainly above 200-300 metres."
That is a non event for the west country in my eyes.
Met office have changed there 6-30 day outlook about 50 times in the last week. I wouldn’t even go by it, last week it was high pressure building to north of country and battle ground events. Hardly looking that way is it? Are you talking about the channel low or tommrow? Because channel lows are unpredictable

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.
Fair enough! I like seeing extreme weather events packed with snow and those temps! Would be historic even if it lasted a couple days!

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.
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.

Its very unusual to see such a correction northwards, however I'm already getting nervous that if it gets much further north it'll bring the warm sector into play and it'll be rain or freezing rain on the south coast. We ended up under freezing rain with the BFTE in March 18 after snow as uppers ended being on -1/-2C.
Infact the ICON lifts the uppers on the south coast to just -2C so already getting squeaky bum time, although the surface flow looks to remain east or just north of east so screams at the moment to be a snow to freezing rain event.
It would be all snow conductive.... uppers change closer to the time. If it came off it would deliver 3-7cm. Personally I think it won’t go too north, it will be middle ground. South coastal areas only.

Just now, Battleground Snow said:
There wouldn't be any, apart from maybe a little over south coast and channel islands,
The way everything is moving west each run, you would expect Greenland high eventually as BA mentioned earlier
So why is everyone getting so hyped saying It’s another beast...

Can I just ask.. with this monster scandi high, where would the low pressure come from...

I’m thinking we will have to wait and see.
That’s GEF. How reliable is that? Models keep flipping north and south between each run. Nightmare for forecasters!

Could be a wide spread snow event on Tuesday for the south according to icon. Gfs was on board earlier and now it’s only just scraping the coasts. This is knife edge!

Icon arpege and gfs on board though. Ukmo will be key i reckon
Have you not seen the 00z for icon and Aspege? It’s in the sea yes met will be key. Bit concerned ECM hasn’t tracked more north but still time to change

GFS and GEM covers the whole south and ECM scrapes the coast. icon and aspege just off the coast in the sea. This is going to be knife edge with this low

I thought you were an expert looking at your disparaging remarks on the mod thread.
GFS will always try to get the Atlantic back in until it is impossible, then follow in an over the top way the other models.
Nond of the models know where the low will be yet, until how and when Storm Darcy moves away. It is pretty much now casting this next week for most of the precipitation.
Expert? No I’m an amateur but it seems the models do really well or really bad. There’s not really a “best one”
-
Can someone tell me which model is better? Gfs or icon? Because aspege and Icon have the channel low inland and gfs and ecm have it just off the south coast on Tuesday..

GFS 18Z has the low on Tuesday just missing the majority of the southern coastal strip but clipping south-west Cornwall, hence the GFS's prediction of a couple of centimetres in the far south-west. Thursday now has an area of light snow hitting a large part of Devon before the main band comes in, which is still predicted to bring rain to the south and west of this region, but snow for the north-east of the region. In this run the mild air doesn't really penetrate far beyond the south-west, so I see that northern parts of Central S England are down as holding onto their lying snow for a while on this run. I'd say the chances are growing that after the frontal attack on Thursday/Friday we may move into a cold and dry regime, rather than a mild and wet one.
Why are you discounting icon and aspege? .. you were very sure earlier on it was all going to France. Back tracking I see?
