Only if the UKMO is correct. The other models are going away from such a
scenario. Still early days but it's a knife edge job regarding lying
snow.


We do tend to get more than our fair share of knife edge situations
regarding snow at low levels, e.g the 29th Nov, but I don't think this is
one of them.

Worth a look back to conditions on the 25th Nov when it settled quite
readily down here, even on already wet surfaces :-

Assuming the current progs come to fruition, and confidence looks good at
this stage, many eastern areas will experience sub 516dam 500/1000mb
thickness by Wednesday and sub 128dam 850/1000mb thickness in the far SE.
Hence there will be lying snow.
