There's not complete model agreement, but Monday is looking potentially snowy for a period, as the Atlantic fronts push in against a cold airmass over the UK

To provide some context. The UKMO is consistently showing High pressure remaining to our NW even by Monday:
With Low pressure to the South and East, there's HUGE potential with this setup.
GFS has been very keen to bring the Atlantic steaming back in but even then it's been showing a snowy breakdown as it struggles to shift the cold surface air:
Which gives THIS precipitation:

Papa, does high pressure in winter mean cold?

Is it me or is that giving us a possible and considerable flumping scenario?

Very Jealous. Loved skiing Pas... and that was before they linked all the resorts up.

It does, but possibly only a temporary one, if the milder air wins the battle.

Yes, often it does. A lot depends on the exact positioning / orientation and the 'source' of the High. So, a high which developed over Scandinavia or similar will contain a cold / dry airmass, which will deliver clear skies and sharp overnight frosts. A High that moves up from the SW will bring a more humid airmass, so it may well be a cloudy high, with moist air trapped under an inversion.
The orientation will be key if the High isn't directly over us, so one centered to our South will allow mild air to flow over the top, limiting the cold potential, whereas one which is able to pull in air from the near continent will be much colder.

What are our chances of snow now this week? All gone?

It's incredible, I've never been here before but certainly beats Bulgaria & Sierra Nevada!
Lovely view during lunch...

Always loved the 'feel' of the skiing experience in the Pyrenees.
It made me laugh tonight the BBC weatherman saying 7 c this very week as very cold. Unfcking believeable. Give this up now until next year
Sorry just pissed off with tonights result.
I would love to see some snow in Worthing soon.

No, they said it will feel very cold. Big difference.
Check out these Met Office 'feel like' temperatures for the coast this weekend. Minus 4 up to a maximum of zero at the warmest point of the day.

It will feel very bloody cold, you simply cannot argue with that.
Tell me about it, it's -5 here but it's blowing a gale so it FEELS LIKE -15.
A good FLUMPING today though
