Enough agreement and consistency to say:

**After this short colder period, with a more northerly feed, an Atlantic source for our weather will have re-established itself in 10 days time. With the normal caveats about the impossibility of saying which areas of the UK will be affected by either mP, or mT air, suffice to say that snow will have become confined to highland areas with few lowland areas affected, unless we have a temporary colder incursion in north-westerlies in the lee of a cold front (it is January, when all's said and done). Even then colder conditions will be transitory. Vey typical zonal weather in January**

This was a good forecast. Shows that you could have trusted model output 10 days ago. It was clear that the colder spell would have been over by today..
