This will be interesting, my view is that ukmo will *always* over do the
risk factor. I trust them to be correct over such a short period of time
but I don't trust the over hyped potential, that's being painted.
I don't believe the south will see any settled snow -perhaps maybe and a big
maybe for hilly areas.

A couple of light snow showers, but sharp night frosts, thats what I expect
round here.

Up here in Haytor I'm expecting the first lying snow of the winter on Friday.
Hope to go sledging on Saturday and a challenging snowy walk on Sunday on the
high featureless moor above 500m asl around Cranmere pool, if the roads are
clear enough to get to the starting point. 850 hPa temperature of -5 deg C with
a sea level pressure below 1000 mb would give me a temperature (outside
precipitation) of around 2 deg C, the effect of melting snowflakes would quickly
lower that to around 0 to -1 deg C and then the snow will settle quickly on our
cold ground. A gradient wind slightly west of north or even north will ensure a
continued feed of showers onto Dartmoor and Exmoor notwithstanding any fronts or
troughs.

Will.

Not so "over hyped" if you happen to live in the Northern third of the
country! You're welcome to join me driving the 40 miles to work on Friday
Morning at 6am over Slochd Summit (1,300ft.), Inverness if you think they
might have "over-hyped" it after looking at todays run of charts!!

I'll be starting at 1400' but some what later, after 0900, which
should have given the ploughs enough time to have got the Brampton
Road open...

I really don't like the look of the charts recently. They have been
far to consistent for the last few days with that deep low over the
North Sea. It's now only 48hrs or so away, I'd be very surprised if it
didn't happen.

That is the worse argument against "over-hype" I've ever heard, in fact
it's over-hyped. If that's a regular route, are you telling me it never
snows up there!

Call me daft but that is a shock to hear it may snow up there at Slochd
Summit (1,300ft.), Inverness. I bet that's suprised a few people. It must
have come as a shock to you as well when you decided to live there. Climate
Change eh! I don't know.
