Default First steps...

.... just trying to get the hang of synoptic charts for the first time and
the next few days. Let me see if I have this right.

The cold front currently bridging Iceland / Norway is heading south. Colder
air behind.

It catches up with remnants of a weak warm / occluded front by T+24 around
the midlands and hits the SE at T+36 approx. Now, occluded fronts mean cloud
and precipitation. So with this large, cold mass of air behind it associated
precip. will be snow. And possibly large amounts...

Am I close?
