I saw it mentioned earlier that if 'dry' charts are forecast then it will be dry. However, I don't agree with that analysis, because, frankly, the charts are hopeless at modelling precipitation. Even the hi-res ones I have seen, let alone the low-res ones that are more frequently posted on here.
There was a week in late autumn where two storms were forecast with yellow warnings over SW & CSE. On one of these the actual was a short period of light rain, on the other there was light winds and no rain. On another day that week when only a few showers were forecast the actual was heavy rain for about 6 hours. And then there was Monday 8th Jan across the South. I have talked about favourable teleconnections analysis then requiring a giant leap of faith to translate into something tangible snow-wise. However, you don't attempt that leap now - you do it at T+0.
Yes and no. I am desperate for a day of snow, but highly sceptical of any detailed output at range, irrespective of what people say the background drivers are forecast to do. So now there has been one below average week with a colder one to follow. None of the stinker runs shown at various points have come to fruition over this period. This feels like a victory. See above for my opinion on micro-details. Moreover, this colder and drier interlude is critical in allowing flooding to recede and an opportunity to repair flooring, fencing, gutters and walls that all got trashed during 4 weeks of incessant wind and rain.
