Chris Fawkes just mentioned a 'nasty' snow event in southern Scotland on Wed night & Thurs morning
Rain for N. Edinburgh then?
Not a nice way to call the snow nasty the rain are nasty and the snow are wonderful event.
Potential for another major snow event for N england or S scotland. Rain will turn to snow on its northern edge through wednesday afternoon into Thursday.
The Manchester Snow Shield has extended itself westwards.
LOL. Sorry mate! ;-)
My eyebrows are raised for some snow shower potential for this weekend. Possibly into Friday.
Your area as well as mine. Watch this space, may come to nothing but a cold westerly is always worth keeping an eye on.
Frustration Hi-5
Ive never known a winter like it...

They're just representations of NWP, but this winter, you just know the law of Sod is working overtime.
I did at least get snow the first fall on the 28th. It was like in a football game where early on you have a speculative shot and the keeper lets it right through his hands and you score. So you assume he's going to be like that all game and you get blase - but from then on the bugger pulls off amazing saves to deny you again and again.
Yes, he made a point of saying that N.Edinburgh would have rain with heavy snow in south, west and east Edinburgh :)

I like that analogy...
To use that analogy down here that’s like the goal keeper turning up 10 minutes early and he’s 15ft wide and 7ft tall.
Surely you mean "Yes, he made a point of saying that N. Edinburgh would have no weather with heavy snow in south, west and east Edinburgh"?
Probably all change by the time we get there but Thursday looks interesting for some folks too:-
LOL at you linking to the chart, and the chart changing with each run.
It's now showing the 12z and it looks much better for this region than the 6z
GFSP looks more interesting for the south than of late.... Sunday night
In fact, the 12z keeps a snow band organised as it moves SE'wards over the whole country on Friday night/Saturday morning:
Midlands seeing several hours of snow but I will see it from the window first.

Yeah, forgot about that, not very helpful!
It's certainly looking interesting for some folks, although I guess as with other recent 'events' frustrating/disappointing for others too.
I’m currently watching Thursday night into Friday morning.
Frontal potential aside, the models often underplay convective snow and I would not be at all surprised to see some Irish Sea showers into Friday morning, with the snow line gradually lowering towards sea level as the colder air moves SE.

I’ve also had my eye on this one too. It’s a shame the Irish Sea is such a fickle set up. If the winds are too strong we risk driving in milder low level air off the Irish Sea. Lack of clear spells at night may stop temps lowering enough for decent accumulations at low levels.
Then there’s the usual wait to see if the Irish Sea even generates decent enough convection. The slow moving WNW flow with -7 uppers is the holy grail for here. I’ve seen that give us 4 inches in a hour before. Potential for a lot of snow above 250-300 metres. Below this I think small accumulations if showers are prolonged and fall at the right time.

Completely agree!
Zero chance close to the coast I’d imagine, but better chances further east in the region with the snow line lowering as the hours go on into the weekend.
I bet you’ll see a flurry or two.
