Nice little trough progged for Sat night to bring a risk of sleet and snow showers to parts of Wales/NW Eng - http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack1.gif
Latest METO Forecast for NW England:
'Sleet and snow showers will extend from the northwest on Saturday and last through Saturday night into Sunday morning. These are likely to lead to widespread ice developing on untreated surfaces. In addition some 2-5cm of snow is likely to accumulate locally away from immediate north and west facing coastal fringes.'

Latest 18z GFS run brings the cold slightly earlier with uppers of -6 and dam of 528 over the NW by Saturday lunchtime. By midnight on Saturday uppers of -8 are over the NW, by 3am uppers of -9 over the region and by 6am uppers of -10. So a potentially interesting 36 hours for the the NW I feel.
Anyway here's Matt Hugo's thoughts:
