Runs are pretty consistent now. Snow down to sea level right down to the
south coast on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday, with max temps in the 3-4C range.


Met Office warning today:

The Met Office is forecasting a marked change in the weather, with a
very cold northerly airstream becoming established across the United
Kingdom during Sunday 18th March and then persisting until at least
Wednesday 21st March. During this period, there is potential for
significant snowfall events over parts of the country, which could
cause disruption. The first significant snow event is expected to
occur overnight Sunday and during Monday. This could cause disruption
to travel networks especially across higher level routes. Outdoor
activities could also be affected by the snow. This warning will be
updated around 1100 tomorrow, Friday 16th March.

p.s. I'd never heard this word "ramping up" weather models until
the birth of meteorology newsgroups !
