Be a shame if it does go north slightly as that would remove us on the south coast from the game as such compared to if it stayed south, fingers crossed it will stay south enough and go right for us for a change this winter

Not really imo Jay.

A slight push north initially of the precipitation but we’re talking minimal differences really. Although I know this can make all the difference for us but nothing to worry about here yet.

Infact if you look at early Friday, 18z actually has the precip further south than 12z.

Every run will likely fluctuate 50-100 miles maybe but we’re well in the game.

It’s the angle of attack that is literally key to us too.

you want the line of precipitation angled north west to south east moving northeast wards.

To explain what I mean, the angle on GFS isn’t that great for snow to continue as snow. Too much west to east movement rather than south west to north east.

In comparison, If you look at UKMO model, the front is at a much better angle, reducing ingress of milder air.

Do you think the GFS is the odd one out?

But that angle (UKMO) is North West to South East ??

Sorry good spot, yes I meant that it is preferred if it moving from the south west to north east  (front angled north west south east)

It is a still a little more progressive than the other models but less so each run now.

Valleys look to be the sweet spot no matter the model.

But for southern coastal areas to stay as snow, we want UKMO preferably.

hoping for a good Euro4, first run that we’ll see Thursday properly

According to the GFS we are going to see snow for a good 9 hours

I'd say that's a 1 in 25 chance lol

Quite a few times I've seen models bring rain edge in along the far south coast and going a fair few miles inland from the coast at times, which being only 6-7miles inland I don't want! Is the warmer air really expected to reach us and spoil it down here at the end?
