In reply to LakesWinter:
MWIS are now saying roughly 50% chance of significant cold.
"Confidence in the detail remains low over the next week to ten days. This weekend, a pulse of cold air will push west
across Britain, bringing snow to eastern mountains, but very little elsewhere.
Often cloudy and intermittently wet (mainly showery) early next week with freezing level 600 to 800m. Beyond, now
around 50% of forecast models suggest periods of significant cold and particularly on northern and eastern mountains,
snowfall, but there remains marked variability, with some forecasts suggesting much less cold conditions."
