Come on Will, what's your take on the current set up? Scandinavia is
pretty cold atm as well.

A second day of aerations cancelled :-(

Basically a lovely fine frosty weekend and then high pressure develops to
the NW of Iceland at the left entrance to the confluent upper ridge. Another
(final) low dives SE in the NW'ly jet and then this high links in with the
developing Russian high and we have an easterly. Very confident on that.
Problems start from Tuesday onwards as areas of snow develop over the
continent/North Sea in part due to convection but also in part due to warm
advection aloft. these then migrate westwards (less confident on that).
Later in the week tghe vortex near the Azores spawns developments over
Biscay which edge slowly north and threaten widespread frontal snow in
southern Britain. All in all a most interesting and exciting winter snow
situation is set to develop.
