Oddly enough, the Metcheck site - I know everyone has their favourites, this just happens to be mine based on 5 or 6 years worth of experience - shows the South West as missing the worst of it, noting instead that "The risk of low level wet snow persists across Northern Ireland, Western England and South-west England."

Saturday night/Sunday morning could be interesting for some parts of the country with the early forecast pointing to a weather system coming in from the west meeting the bitterly cold air (well cold by today's standards, it doesnt get really cold here anymore IMHO▸ (in my humble opinion)) that will be settled over the country by then. Its early days so take what I have written with a pinch of salt. The met do a great job but they change their minds like the weather!  Wink

I wouldn't hold hopes up on getting any though. Snow is some of the most overpredicted weather in the SW

Another Met Office special - fantastic, "Exeter St.Davids: Home of the Met Office".

And why is it that when we do get a bit of snow the country reacts like we've just plunged into a glacial period?
