@shaky  There are warnings out for the East midlands Northern part right down to North London, there is a seperate warning For the North and Scotland but that is snow and ice so might really from my point of view just be for wet surfaces freezing - yours is actually just for snow - Nothing for further South than London.

EDIT _ your just inside the warning.

Says 1-3cm down to 100m on both of those warnings. 5-10cm at 400m plus.

This chart would look better in late December, a small wedge 

That chart does look like something out of December lol! 

Some decent wintry potential on that (yes the p word).

Maybe its those heavier showers you mentioned which is why the met office put out those warning earlier?

Well i had a really really heavy downpour earlier and started hail but ended up as snow, light dusting but melted straight away so if it is possible in mid afternoon at 3c then should be more readily snow at 5 am with 0c.

The GEFS 12z mean indicates a light at the end of the very unsettled tunnel with signs of high pressure building in towards mid March.

Which model is that?  I'm guessing GEM as they are have a habit of massively overplaying snow accumulations. 

It's the GFS 12z. The GEM does have a habit of overplaying these type of events but I think the GFS got a little bit jealous!

The GEFS graph is not much to write home about but there are hints of a Greeny in deepest FI, Nothing coherent yet - this the best one.

Well the points are off to a good start 20 miles or so inland...away from coastal areas....very inviting early on!!!....need a steady climb down as front approaches.....  Current temperature also looking reasonable...it's what advective warmth the front can herald in......to which @elevation could be a snow machine...in itself......

Beyond tomorrow still scope for further marginal snow events as shown on these ECM charts - notice on the first one the blobs of pink mixed in with the rain so even further south it’s v boarderline

This will be the first channel low of the winter and the first since november,anything to get an opposite wind direction however brief,much higher chance of snow from an easterly.

12z EURO4 shifts things south about 30-50 miles - the consequences however, as teased earlier, are that the precipitation is less intense overall and so the result is a sleety mess but further south (Home Counties through to London ), with just some trace temporary accumulations showing up on the highest ground.

That said, comparing the 1900 radar imagery to the forecast position of the precipitation band at that time from both the UKV and EURO4, the band in reality looks a touch further north than modelled by these two (by say about 20-30 miles) - so we’re probably honing in on a middle ground solution between high resolution modelling and the more global NWP output (e.g ECM which looks significantly further north than the UKV/EURO4, but in reality is only a touch further north, enough to engage an area of vorticity to the north of the system and trigger some further showers/precipitation)

Blimey! We're all talking about the prospects of snow whilst this beast is lurking in just a few days. Concerning and potentially a named storm?

The ECM has around an inch of snow accumulation for Leicester. I tend to be wary of these precip forecasts though . These Channel Lows can throw up surprises . In a good or bad way ! I think it’s now a case of just seeing what happens .

Hi Feb . This is a good link . You can get all ECM ops and all of its ensemble members . Loads of parameters to choose from including snow accumulations .

Just go to weather.us
