Not sure if I'm reading them right but today's models seem to have
less of a northerly component for the winds next week, and more of a
WSW direction, compared to yesterday, which would suggest mildish
overall - so still snow for high ground in Scotland and northern
England but still any chances further south?

I doubt it. But a week down the line who knows? Even the great Joe *******i
has conveniently forgotten his "patience Grasshopper" and the real severe
cold kicking in to NW Europe after the initial cold spell. He is now saying
no real cold in sight and windy and stormy with snow in the Alps. So
basically he changes his forecast every couple of weeks and predicts what we
all can see anyway. I wish people would accept that our weather is difficult
to forecast more than a week out instead of keep making these extreme
forecasts for two to three weeks ahead.

Interesting to see one or two lows zipping through England with cold air to
the north - a bit of ephemeral fun, maybe?

Can't see any snow south of the higher pennines and welsh mountains,
maybe some sleet now and then on higher ground of the Midlands.
Think temperatures will be just a bit too high.
Will feel cold though in those winds and temps of 4c to 7c
