What can go wrong ?

The "10cms" is very much an upper limit, I think. Looking at the 12Z NAE
and GFS runs, from their predictions *for "Snow accu." at 6am on Sunday
it looks to me as if we may not get more than a centimetre or two of
probably rather wet snow in our part of Surrey:

with the deepest accumulations being in northern England and East
Anglia. But of course it's very much on a knife-edge and could well
change again.

I have to admit I never get too excited about any possible snow from
the west down here as fronts from the west force the wind into an
unfavourable (maritime) direction meaning a pre-precipitation thaw
tends to invariably occur. I don't think I can recall a single decent
snowy episode from the west in 30 years of living in southern England.
All decent snow seems to have come on fronts or troughs from the north
or east.
