[Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2023-24 Season]

If you follow the models the basic output in terms of synoptics looks very promising. It's only when you drill into the detail that it becomes far less interesting.

There are a number of Northerly and Easterly periods showing, but the air involved is just not cold enough (at least away from the far north and altitude ).

Europe isn't cold enough to provide a truly cold feed, so I have to agree with [MENTION=7321]casbom[/MENTION] that down here it looks like this has come too late. Were we in early January I'm sure we'd see some snow, but any we DO see is unlikely to be what the snow lovers amongst us want.

Spring's on the way.

We can get snow quite late in the spring, and we do from time to time.

Examples

And a youtube video of the same event for Worthing


However, there's just not enough cold air about at the moment ... at the moment.

It can change,

The current output shows a cold week to come, with the potential to see some wintry precipitation. Nothing special though, with 850hpa temps not really cold enough for any proper fun. Friday gives us down here our best chance. Further North will probably do quite well:

Easter is too far off to really comment
