Summary: there is a connection, it is not the only factor determining UK
weather and not even the strongest one, and it is not as simple as "copy
a weather report, replace timing".

So, just because they're having a wee bit of snow now doesn't mean we
will in, say, a week's time then?

Right conclusions. The low pressures they have will or will not come our

(this particular one seems to go north of UK), and even if they come,
because of age and the
long trip over the ocean, they may cause a diiferent kind of weather
over here.
