It's a busy time right now, so please ensure you only post about the model output in this thread. 

For local snow discussion and will it snow posts, please use the regional threads
And for more general chat please use the chat, moans and ramps thread.

UKV has 500mm (50+cm) of snow for some spots in East Anglia and the South East. May be overdone (Although I find this model is one of few that normally under does accumulation). Quite feasible though that some spots could see a foot or more, but more widely probably 15-20cm across some eastern areas. Certainly, I would expect a good few cm for more eastern and central areas (and a few spots in the west) than this model shows.

A lot of what iv shown does have a swath of the middle part of the country missing out during this spell, due to cloud cover from the front in the southeast. I hope we see something tbh. Our best shots seem to be if troughs develop and push across!

There is the risk of a dry zone to the north of those fronts. Hopefully from Monday that won’t be an issue as the low pulls away.

And if this one has been the most enthusiastic would imagine there must be a good few ensembles that slide it.

 

Hence the Meto not talking about a 'possible' milder interlude until after the 18th Feb.

I’d love to be wrong but I really can’t see the whole of the Uk Locked into cold until 18th? Is there any model or trend on any ensembles or a primary  cluster that shows that?  Surely the Met will review this and edit it soon?

Big shift in the medium and longer range EPS - significant northern heights back in the menu!

Does that mean chance of the cold hanging on?

Presumably Mogreps.

Looks like an area between Gravesend East to Sittingbourne and SW to Maidstone and Tonbridge and parts of Essex will be the sweetspot in the SE based upon that, not many posters in here from Norfolk and Suffolk they must also be delighted after 3 barren snowless years

For us in the midlands its not looking like a good  start now!!we either want that front way further and west so we get the band of snow or we want it waay south and east so we get the snow showers!!at the moment its neither!!

We know that there will be a surface cold high over scandi - throw in an upper ridge, an Atlantic needing to push the  jet streak somewhere and not really sure how that all evolves .....

maybe that 30% cluster from yesterday’s extended 12z suite will be larger on the 00z .....

Unless the front in the se is further nw then I’d imagine pretty much the whole Midlands westward will get nothing but dull grey skies and dry during Sunday as the front will stop any showers forming in these areas. If it’s not going to push over we need it to disappear and quickly. For the Midlands that is

Comedy timing by Mulzy ??‍♂️ If EPS say there’s a chance...then. There’s a chance..??
meanwhile back to snow depths charts.. ICON looks about right to me re depth / distribution Sunday. It also has a lot more showers further north and west by late Sun

A lot of the country will have overcast skies ..... just have to wait for things to from up and even then it becomes nowcasting a lot of the time

That is seriously poor for the midlands!!its not me being negative but that is truly bad mate!!!!must be a cap or shield of some sort!!

To the north and west of the band of snow there will be a lot of cloud cover and stable layers, so yes acting as a cap to deep convection.  Can't rule out light snow from those layers but you'll be wanting the system to clear SE so instability can develop.

The Atlantic push next Thursday is the worst verifying feature for the gfs, as we have seen at times in the last few days. Even the other models, though probably closer at this range to modelling the possible breakdown will need more runs to find the solution. These current runs are just clues and trends. No idea ATM!

The first snow event (SE low at d2) still looks hopeful with gfs and ecm onboard. The easterly still looks to flow until the end of Tuesday but there are differences in where the northern line is for the purest feed:

ecm>ECM0-120.thumb.gif.226c10b4ad4b0fd3dedfa346c3f4fbb0.gifgfs>gfs-1-120.thumb.png.0e912748f18f75ff7492f85b15d63b00.png

That is pretty solid and a middle ground would be fine.

From Wednesday the blown up low and the cold block battle away and the question is what will happen? The ecm mean parks it off the west coast:

That is not bad but maybe a couple of hundred miles further west would be interesting!

Completely agree but that front will stop anything forming within a certain radius around it. Not moaning lol just the way I see it unfortunately

Regarding any breakdown shall I believe the model that has handled this cold spell perfecfly from the beginning UKMO or put my money on the model that said it wouldn't happen GFS?

I will think about it for a nano second.

UKMO run gives ice days on Sun, Mon, Tues and Wed here in NE Hampshire.

The models I have seen this morning seem to limit most of the snow to the very far SE (UKV model) so could this spell be more notable for the cold than the snow?

The ecm op at d10 looks progressive for the SE in removing the colder uppers according to the standard deviation, so a statistical outlier:

graphe0_00_310_152___.thumb.png.e14f3832f6ff3c31561f679699dc4639.png

The ecm d10 mean is a better choice for instruction and that shows the colder uppers lingering longer:
