-5'C here tonight

Would be amazing if we got a cold shot from the north and beat our record.

Edit: (not tonight of course, in the near future!)

Is the 18z good or just ok, been on the MT but it's difficult to work out

[edo]

still healthy uppers wednesday including far west

lookin good so far... GFS throwing snowy charts and cold uppers further west and decent looking snow event tuesday.... best wait on experts though

[Isolated Frost]

Models starting to really shape up on a brief NE/E'ly on Tuesday until Thursday. Posting that here because it'll get swallowed up by the bizarre posting in the MT.

north sea firing up?.... could be snow sat sun mon tue wed at this rate for some areas....although probably looking too far in current output divergence

[lorenzo]

That low that drops South over the Uk loses definition as the warmer heights erode it, 6 hrs later it is re-established as a weaker feature in the channel. Enough energy to spill in the uppers.

Very snowy run so far, a slight 50 mile correction west and you are looking at the East Coast and inland getting totally slammed with snow.

Pressure rises after and look at these min temps

Absolutely IF, really shaping up for once the cold arrives then all manner of setups will/can materialise

Just moved to Aberdeenshire would be nice to get a big dumping in my first month up here and looks good and getting better

You will not! You will be leant forward, nose to glass, checking the lampost! There are so many Perthonians we can take shifts!

[Ross B]

Can I get excited yet....?

[Sraigcaife]

Am I right in thinking that this wee cold snap would be a lot colder if our near continental neighbours had a greater snow coverage like what we had in 09/10 and December 2010.

Not sure if I'm right but just going on the snow coverage for the N.H. at this moment in time it seems like the mild period we have had in Western Europe has pushed the real cold way back east in to Russia. Thus taking it more time to make its way west ?
