I've got one eye open, most certainly interested in the evolving pattern. However, not entirely convinced by the depth of cold on offer. Need more from that lobe dropping down from north/northeast. Thankfully the ECM was an outlier after about 180hrs. Atm I'm seeing lots of sleety or wet snow and hail showers at lower levels, need a bit more contrast in depth of cold vs sea temps. I'm certainly interested just not overly hyped like some of comments seen.

The law of Sod!  Cold and dry is OK but for once I don't want snow in a week's time as we've got contractors booked in to tile the roof of our new build next weekend.

Once the cold arrives, theres a Consistent signal big features running into the Alps.

We just need one of those to swing north and bingo - snowstorm time.

Significant easterly on the latter stages of the GFS 6z.  One for the Kentish crew. It really is a stunning run.

Is it still on a knife edge and all to play for? More runs needed?

You often say this but of course all weather is local. IMBY is a trite cliche. 

One might as well analyse the weather on the top of Cairngorm/Everest. Who cares if it's snowing in the favoured spots and 80-90% of the UK population are unaffected?

We arte looking for widespread snowfall in the populous areas of the UK – that is the truth.

It might yet happen of course.

The thread is to discuss the weather across the Uk, I think it's actually more exciting if we hear stories of weather events affecting members , rather than measuring excitement on the % UK population affected. Why should I be more excited for snow in London rather than say any other town or city. I wouldn't be.

The NAO not to mention AO is signalled to stay quite strongly negative for the foreseeable. Could aid longevity into the Christmas period:

GFS 6Z has a run of ice days (or very close to, with maxima below 1C) for parts of the south starting as early as next Thursday. Will be interesting to see if these get pushed back or if we see the model consistently reel them in.

A large part of Scotland north of the Central Belt, away from the west coast, sits under 100% snow risk, along with all higher ground of northern England and Wales.  Quite a bit of the rest, north of the M4, has a risk between 25-50%

It is perfectly valuable to explore the weather models through this prism and I shall continue to do so – assessing the impact of the weather on the population is not 'IMBY' (a trite cliche that you trot out frequently).

But, there is genuine potential and the outlook looks cold.

The UKM extended is probably about as good as you'd expect given they are typically conservative about the possibilities. It is however another tick up and if the Arctic plunge gets within 5 days I would expect them to make more of the snow and ice probabilities more generally.
