    It's not about getting -20 uppers in (though obviously that would be nice), it's about getting a synoptic set up where we can feed plentiful moisture into a non-marginal set up to promote widespread UK snowfall. 

    We can do this a few ways-

    Cold (sub -10) uppers with low thicknesses across a (relatively) warm N sea, which would promote banding showing activity 

    Cyclonic cold E'ly with organised snow pushing NW out of the continent- See Feb 2009

    Undercutter scenario with cold, dry E/SE airmass undercutting a negative/neutrally tilted LP approaching from the W/SW

    The trend has been clear away from any of those scenarios- a briefer initial E'ly with increasing heights/thicknesses very soon after. Snow fall possible but erring away from anything widespread or sustained. 

    It depends what people want. I'd personally want to go all in at this time of year, rather than trying to make a decent meal from crumbs. 

    you can't do any of these.  You have zero control over them.

    Historic event - last time I saw alot of snow was 2010, this beat that hours ago. 4ft drifts now and to think we've got more snow coming.

    i think you maybe making the old mistake of measuring drifting snow with lying snow.  epic of course but
