In Scotland probably yes. I would have thought that elongated trough to the
west of the main low puts too much westerly component in the wind for
significant snow in lowland England though.

During the 1990's when I lived in Scotland (Nr East Kilbride - 200m ASL),
that type of setup often produced decent snow, mainly from showers, but only
above about 150m. Never seemed to be anything in England though when I spoke
to friends on the 'phone.

Nothing in Malvern from the current setup, only light rain showers yesterday
afternoon and nothing visible from the Malvern Hills on the Hills in Central
Wales to the west yesterday morning. Don't know about now though, not been
up to see

One of those I was up on the Hills walking with yesterday said she did not
remember decent thick snow in this area since Jan 1982! :-((
