A lot of agreement at the moment regarding Atlantic fronts making headway North & Eastwards into Western UK areas through Friday which will run up against the cold continental feed and potential for moderate snowfall is a high risk.
I was very dubious a few days ago about the longevity and severity of this cold spell due to Low pressure and high energy around the Svaalbard/Barents sea/N scan area (+ve nao) and no transit of any form of Siberian air mass but the pattern (future model runs) now shows a huge swath of "Rex" or "Omega" style block thousands of miles across from E Greenland all the way East to Yakutia Siberian regions?
In Laymen`s terms: the Cold is here to stay, but when the media buzz fades away soon, despite Friday`s potential for the West, then a lot could be caught out with the renewed push from the East next week with the -10° Isotherm well across much of the UK so with further Atlantic activity trying to make headway Eastwards then yet further Snowfall (heavy) and Blizzards in areas are possible?
Remember those old winters of the late 70`s and early 80`s? maybe some can even recall 63? well by the looks of things as we speak a repeat of one of those setup`s is really valid?
So shovel on hand folks, particularly so for those of you in N Ire South Eastwards through to N Wales E Midlands Warwicks Bucks Surrey Sussex counties, dependant on the angle of approach the fronts move in on?
(I`m neither a cold or mild fan but have a huge interest in amateur meteorology)

The warmest it got today was -2.5C but the trees looked amazing so I decided to have a quick walk and take a few pictures, all these were taken within a few hundred metres of home. I think I had better get organised and put the rest in an album
Believe it or not this is a canal
Looking towards Burley House, obscured by the trees
A bit more of the canal
The hedge on either side of the road here is magnificent, about 10ft high and at least that wide, it is ancient, beautifully looked after and both a habitat and refuge for diverse wildlife.
Just had to get some winter shots of these Giant Hogweed very close to home, will put the rest in an album.
Current temp is -5.2C and the bottle of Gluhwein is calling my name, must resist, must resist.....oh sod it

OP bromptonfb braved the cold conditions and the broken radius in his elbow to cycle over here yesterday for a coffee stop with me in Hebden Bridge. We went to the cafe in the smart new council buildings and Shaun impressed me with how easy it was to fold his Brompton and stash it in a zip-up bag to carry in with us!
I'm a bit scared of slipping on the ice and ending up back in hospital so I'm being very cautious when walking in these cold conditions. Pity, because I'd love to go for a walk 'on the tops' in the snow.

OT: what are the plants in the lst picture called? I've always seen them around, they look like huge weeds and seem to live locally on motorway verges.

You have a day to sort it out.... (says she who still has not got around to putting on the studded tyres - that was meant to be on the list of things to do todayNothing here yet, although the BBC and Met Office are predicting it to snow all day Friday with a decent amount settling. I have a pair of cross tires which will just about fit on my road bike for the snow, although no inner tubes large enough.
