Am I being over optimistic or am I missing something. There are a few
people posting a big change to the forecast over the coming 5 days. I
still see potential for snow over the coming days and beyond
especially down the eastern side of the country. My lack of indepth
knowledge may be letting me down here. Maybe Will or Dawlish could
enlighten me.

Hi Mark - see Jon's reply to my post above which explains the change for
today and tomorrow. I wouldn't think anyone is pessimistic now having had
snow. The 5cm here may not be much but it's enough to make everywhere
covered and pretty and enough for the kids activities.

Dave regardless shouldn't these said presenters. forecasters at least have
the decency to start off from where the last forecast ended and then explain
as Jon did.



I don't think that they're given enough time for that, especially as it
seems to be compulsory to waste part of that time by zooming in on every
part of the UK even when there isn't much in the way of regional
variation. In any case, the change seems to be no more than a difference
in emphasis on how widespread the snow showers are expected to be over
the next couple of days.
