Pretty similar in the Swiss resorts, if the Jungfrau region is typical. Plenty of snow about about 5500ft and surprisingly the runs into the village seemed to stay open. The area shut due to strong winds much of Easter, open now but clothed in cloud. Slope data | jungfrau.ch WWW.JUNGFRAU.CH

The 6-10 day 500 mb anomaly chart from NOAA shows a fairly marked Confluent ridge leading into a Diffluent trough off the coast of n America. This can lead to the development of a surface low, possibly rapid deepening. So at some stage in this time scale we could expect a fairly deep surface low to form in that area. The flow is then shown as SW'ly fairly strong at 500 mb. So a rather unsettled outlook in the 6-10 day period seems quite likely

Summer8906 So where in Hampshire do you live. I'm sure the weather stats for Bournemouth are nothing like as bad as your post suggests?

Too far to be sure what Easter will bring but the ECMWF is a fairly good indicator of both upper air and surface along with 850 temperatures. It only goes out to Maundy Thursday but not a bad idea to follow each subsequent update from now And of course the 500 mb NOAA Anomaly charts the 6-10 out to the same day and the 8-14 over the Easter weekend. This just for an idea of where the main upper air features look like being. It does, at the moment look like an upper trough will be close to the UK with the 500 flow coming from just north of west.
