Next week is looking potentially very wintry with very cold air
sweeping across the country on strong W-NW winds. By Thu/Fri both the
ECMWF and GFS models have 1000-500mb thicknesses below 520dam as far
south as the Midlands in what would very probably be a very showery
airstream. There's potential for substantial snowfall over western and
northern areas, especially over high ground. It's still a fair way off
but certainly one to keep an eye on if you are planning any travelling.
My wife, for one, is due to travel from Buckinghamshire to Tideswell on
Friday next week. It might not be too clever!

There's a low zipping across S England in the latest ECMWF (00Z 10th) that might make interesting viewing (way off, mind) but the trend seems to be for wriggles in the NWly flow that could give some coverings in the N / on high ground.
