A developing low sinking southwards across the UK, an intense high in the Greenland/Iceland region allowed a very cold airmass to flood the UK. This brought snowfalls but also very severe frosts.

Quite an unusual synoptical evolution, not often you see a developing low pulled down on the eastward flank of a ridge shifting its core heights from Greenland towards Iceland enabling a channel low scenario.

 

Superb snow synoptics, but rare.
