After looking at UKV in more detail I would be a little circumspect about tomorrow's event. Apart from over high ground there isn't much snow at all.

I’m in Lancashire from tomorrow afternoon until Friday morning. It was looking horrific over the last couple of days, but this evenings runs have watered things down somewhat for there, thankfully.

Moderate rain showers looking likely south of the M4. Any sleety wet stuff only to fall here after dark tonight maybe tomorrow night. Then it’s back to business as usual for March standards. 

Meanwhile, Met office has about 8 hours constant hail for large areas of the south according to the weather maps.

The UKV model was crap for the December snow here massively underestimated it.

The ECM  model does seem to suggesting more widespread lying snow however it does often have a tendency to overdo things. Having said that it has underestimated the starting snow depth here too.

Here’s the picture at 48hr https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/united-kingdom/snow-depth/20230309-1200z.html 

By day 6 it shows quite a bit of the white stuff up here. We’ll see. https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/united-kingdom/snow-depth/20230313-1200z.html

The ECM is best, I think, at predicting rain amounts and the locations it will fall in. Like snow amounts though, I also find that it overdoes windspeeds as well during major events. The GFS and the UKMO, more often than not, triumph over the ECM in these regards I think

I’ve been through all the high res models and the consensus is for periods of sleet and snow here in the morning and again later and overnight into the early hours of Thursday.  The snow depths, where available, offer anywhere between a dusting and 5cm or more.

It's the UK, it's snow - we know by now that you can only wait and see what happens. Whatever happens it looks unlikely to be around for many by the weekend. I hope those that didn't get to see any in December get to at least watch some falling in the next couple of days.

MOGREPS has increased the risk of snow in the south tomorrow morning, but the "big event" in the afternoon and evening seems to have shifted to Midlands.

I don't get the BBC forecast… the moving front graphics bear less resemblance to the huge swathe of yellow warning zone?  Some areas of Scotland on Friday look dry cool and sunny…?

GFS18Z is quite incredible for Yorkshire

Firstly the probability of snow tommorow when it was never forecast through either a humber streamer or the front itself has gone up.

Secondly we are holding steady on the main event Thursday/Friday

And now we have another snow event on Saturday/Sunday!!!
