My worry is that despite the generally cold outlook that things are still slightly on the wrong side of marginal for most people much of the time. Persistently below average, with milder blips, but possibly just not cold enough for any widespread low level snow.
However, having said that, snow is a fickle beast and little changes or features could change a damp situation into a white one. Itβs a very messy outlook fully of wintry conditions being tantalisingly close but maybe just out of reach.
The next few days of models will be very interesting as any shift towards cold will bring a big risk of snow, but any shift away, even relatively small may remove the existing chances.
That marginal scenario is shown by days 3 and 4 on the ECM 12z op run.
