Can't really work out what to expect Monday onwards anymore. BBC seem to
have dropped the temps down to 2-3C but no more talk of the widespread snow,
only possibly snow showers "giving a dusting" on the East coast. Fair
enough, but the reasons for the changes aren't that clear from chart
differences so is it just an individual interpretation?
Countryfile should be worth a look - hope it's not Dan!

I think the difficulty at this range is in predicting just where troughs
embedded in the flow will be. Have a look here for the UKMO "FAX" idea
for T+24:

Here for T+36, with a trough predicted to be crossing the SE:

T+48 is brack1.gif, T+60 is 1a, T+72 is 2, T+84 is 2a. There are also
T+108 and T+132, but by then you are getting rather a long way out to
have much confidence in the detail.
