Default Something's afoot...

... and it could be a foot of snow in parts of the south, if the 12Z
mesoscale run is to be believed! Both the NAE and the 12Z GFS (not
that I would put too much store in the latter) are really ramping up a
small low pressure centre on the south coast on Tuesday night into
Wednesday, with the potential for heavy snowfall.

Cumulative ppn totals are 20mm+ on the NAE, rather more on the GFS,
over 48 hours (i.e. by 12Z Wednesday).

I'm not suggesting this "will" happen, but it is something to keep an
eye on I think....


Very much so, Rob. The heavy snow advisories for Wednesday have now been
extended across western areas
