I dont reckon so.
So far as Bournemouth is concerned, it will just be a tad nippy for a few
days before the westerlies come back. No snow for us, we almost never get
snow down here under that set-up.

For the last few runs, GFS has (as expected) been backing off on the
temperatures predicted down here (at 850hPa anyway). Not a -10C to be
seen on any of the week's 6 hourly runs now; mostly -5s or a bit
below. Here's the coldest... maybe that little cold pool over Wales
will "do it for us!"

I'll be happy to get one snowfall that lasts for 24 hours before it
melts. That would be one more than in recent Winters. I've dug my
gloves out, though!
