Quite a few times I've left Canterbury with Snow on the ground and got to work at Manston to sod all! LOL

Nothing of note for us in the SE so far on this run until a dusting first thing on Sunday morning, watching it roll out with interest now. EA get a 'splash and dash' Saturday afternoon.

GFS 12z appears to bring the snow on Monday a bit earlier than the 6z.

[kold weather]

Quicker frontal system this time, not quite as good for our area or for many other areas as it means it'll come through during peak heating rather than later eveing. That sort of thing can make the difference with regards to settling and how much can settle, etc.

I'd much rather it kick through 3-4hrs later than what the 12z GFS shows, though to be fair temps will probably be fairly close to zero no matter what time of the day.

[Ben_Cambs]

A very decent snow event if GFS 12z verified however IMO.

If anyone feels down, just look at this chart for the southeast

[Dexter29]

Well the 12z has only gone and upgraded the snow for Monday....

Very heavy snow

[Ben_Cambs]

More snow on Tuesday on this run as well by the look of it.

Monday seems to be the real starting point if GFS 12z has it mapped correctly:
