I would bloody LOVE IT if it snows next week
For example - this is the latest precipitation forecast for the 6am - noon period on Monday...
I wouldn't trust it though.
i'd say that we're 90% there for an easterly feed off the continent (models all agree on this).
It WILL NOT snow next week. No chance.
I like your predictions more than Gareths.
Yours come with graphics and sense.
I thought i'd pop in to mention that the latest uk met office, European and Gfs model runs all back up the earlier forecast, with the gfs going for an increased chance of snow down here. I am on my mobile, so i will try to post some model output later, if anyone is interested.
By the way US, do you fancy a wager on your earlier statement about no snow?

Heavy Snow Mon 2 Feb
There is an increasing risk of a severe event affecting eastern parts of Britain during Monday. Colder weather with snow showers, heavy at times, is likely to give some accumulations in places, with the highest amounts most likely over the higher ground further north.

Papa's looking good vs. US.
My hood of Southend looks good for a no work day!
Yellowknife next week:I predict with confidence there will be snow next week in Yellowknife in Canada.
