What's the difference between a filled in front and one that isn't?
Was it done in a rush ;-)


Also wonder what effect those increased DAM's will have as the weekend
progresses.

I would have thought that the low-level temperature will remain very
cold because the source of the air at ground-level is so cold -
perhaps the worst we can expect is snow pellets

Keith,
See my earlier post. The warm advection is at upper levels so the
surface temperatures will be still low as the 850mb thickness is not
going to change that much. The event is similar to Jan 87 and although
the snow may be light, there could easily be heavier outbreaks hence
the weather warnings for both Sunday and Monday and indeed it could go
into Tuesday; interesting time.
