Not sure if there will be a sort of rain shadow  with lighter precipitation in the Vale of York that might scupper things.  It seems to look more promising than previous events though with many models showing a covering .

HIRLAM5Z (yes we get hourly zs now) is one of the most southern most solutions, affecting S Yorkshire and the N midlands. However it also has alot of shower activity on Tuesday for E Yorkshire and NE England.

Was thinking more of a shadow from the Wolds/ N Y Moors from the easterly.  Seen it before but hopefully won't be a factor. It's always quite subtle but can result in lighter precipitation

My experience is the wolds are not high or large enough to produce a meaningful region of descent.

Could ne an interesting week but let's look out for any ducks being supported by November ice!
At least it will be mild!

Very, very interesting this. 
What seems most encouraging is the surface parameters. North of the low, temperatures and dewpoints seem consistently to be modelled at or below freezing. That is relatively rare for events like this when upper air temps are forecast to be so modest, i.e. just below freezing. 

Across and around the M62 corridor seems to be the sweet spot at the moment, But this could change. 

Any models that don’t show lying snow for the Manchester area or North Cheshire are probably accounting for the easterly wind foehn effect / rain-shadow which is incredibly difficult to predict. Looking at the vector and the potency of the front, I’m hoping it be won’t be a huge issue this time - , We won’t know until the front starts rolling in.

Looks solid for a rain to snow event. Don’t expect much if any accumulation here despite the charts, but v interesting so early in the season .

Met Office warning adjusted South, removing central Scotland. The text suggests you’re going to need some elevation (above 200m) to see accumulation, but it does say a chance at lower levels

The Met Office automated forecast is going for five hours of heavy snow IMBY on Monday evening. BBC a bit more skeptical with sleet instead.

Either way, I'd say it looks quite marginal for lower levels. Above 200m and your prospects are very good.

On the subject of the Met Office app, it has snow showers here from 9pm until around 5 am tomorrow. We have already had a couple of brief snow showers. Nice to see but unsurprisingly did not settle on the relatively mild and damp ground. Tuesday may be a bit different here with snow and thunder forecast.

It could be a very snowy day in the high Cotswolds on Monday into Tuesday if the southward trend of the Arpege / Arome continues. My old home of Birdlip could do very, very well out of this.

This whole thing looks a repeat of the Dec10th Snow across the midlands in 2017 pretty sure the last model runs brough the snow line further south than originally predicted?

Wet snow showers during the day but now it is dark, the snow has started to settle and the ground is white.

Arome has a mix of sleet and snow mostly north of London. 
Alaro has a substantial snowfall from the northernmost parts of the Northern Home Counties and then into the SE as the system moves away.
WRF keeps it as rain until some brief back edge sleet.
The latest ICON run (21z) brings the snow boundary about 30 miles further south than its 18z, bringing it down into northern Cambs.

Worth noting the Met Office view is something akin to this , whilst other outcomes like Arome and Arpege are possible I wouldn't expect they would be the favourite. UserPostedImage this
