Something unexpected always happens when it comes to snow, it hardly ever pans out quite like it should do
Having said that I will definitely sit more comfortably if there's a shift further SW Potential for snow on monday too, any thoughts on that?

Remarkably the 12z EC ENS mean supports the ECM model at 120hr and 144hr with a particularly cold and wintry theme continuing Sun/Mon

For those with "gut feeling", I also have a strong feeling that we might be on the verge of a memorable Winter. The METO are predicting a cold Feb. A "1947" is a little too hopeful but maybe, just maybe!!
this friday jan 18th .........think 1947 got going jan 18th

I agree wholdheartedly and that will be the most important factor of all.
How about the view from the latest NW input, the link below is based on Bristol.

In terms of that, the reliable timeframe does indeed show reasonably entrenched cold right out to t+120, thereafter things change as expected.
Good so far.
thanks yes that looks cold to me :0)

Look at my profile and note my age.
I experienced the snowy winters and fab blizzards of winters 78/79, 81/82, jan 87 and others, 91 and feb95.
Hence my high expectations on such events for the now in our neck of the woods.
A week like 1st week of Feb 09 would do me!
i was in bristol for them winters to be great to see that again

It looks like we may do this week though!
yes entrenched cold will be great if we could get it
-
next week with cold air in place some where in southwest got good chance of even some snow showers breaking out maybe .
-
With an easterly flow what else do you expect? The only PPN the SW will get will be attacks from the Atlantic which sometimes pay off, but mainly snow to rain events.
you never know in past ive seen showers from east get across to somerset , devon , dorset . ect ,

So what for the SW from this mornings output. In a nutshell imo the models have upgraded somewhat overnight, certainly in the longevity of the spell and the coming together at last to show that this week and next weekend are odds on likely to stay cold and frosty. Now, what about the snow. I'm fairly confident that areas east of Devon are likely to see snow tonight with a few cm for many. Further West and certainly near the Bristol Channel coast rain or sleet is more likely. Tomorrow's event is a good deal trickier. I think most of our patch will more likely see rain or sleet with the Cotswolds, Salisbury Plain and maybe the Mendips possibly seeing some evaporative cooling type snow as the heavier precipitation passes by. Later in the week Eastern parts of our region might catch a fleeting snow flurry on the cutting ENE wind then. Further out still developments out to the West could throw a runner SE close to the SW and if that happens then snow could spread across Cornwall and Devon for a time. In Week 2 things look far more complex with anything from frontal boundaries delivering snow to rain events or a general trend to mobile type weather with rain followed by showers in less cold conditions. That's how I see it this morning folks. See you later.
thanks gibby great post as always

Just need some reports on the ground to support it, can be a bit inaccurate at times!!
yes good point mark
netweather weather radar well worth getting .
