I think most of us will need a snow machine!

Hi all,

I see a general theme on here that anywhere south of the M4 is likely to
see
any snow and I was just wondering why people seem to be ignoring the
features in these charts? I am always learning and I'm not in anyway
suggesting that we shouldn't be ignoring them but I was wondering why:

T+48 : Monday night

http://imkpc3.physik.uni-karlsruhe.d...ics/brack1.gif

Shows a cold front moving south over the UK introducing the coldest of the
week's air over the whole UK. But is it just a temperature contrast or
will
the front be weather-producing? How can you tell?

T+72: Tuesday night

http://imkpc3.physik.uni-karlsruhe.d...ics/brack2.gif

Within the coldest air, the charts now show a synotpic feature (warm front
/
cold front) moving over the south-west and a trough over the south-east.
Again, will these be weather-producing?

T+96: Wednesday

http://imkpc3.physik.uni-karlsruhe.d...ics/brack3.gif

Complex area of low pressure covers the UK with trough over teh south
coast
and channel with pool of sub-510dm air to the far south-east.

I'm aware that these features are subjectively analysed by the
forecaster but how can we tell if these features are likely to produce
snow
over the bulk of the UK? Seems to be we could all see snow over the coming
days...

Willing to be corrected,
