UK snow expanded to ‘nine counties in England’ with 8cm being dumped
The UK’s snow has been expanded to MORE counties – ahead of flurries falling in the coming days. WX Charts, which uses Met Desk data, has projected the date Arctic weather and snowy wintriness will return to the country.
Advanced modelling, using the GFS model, shows snow in the Pennines, Lake District and Snowdonia. The downturn in conditions is likely around Saturday, November 29, with flurries from 9am and as much as 4cm settling.
It means areas at risk include Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham, Cheshire, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire.

“Not much support for such a deep low moving across the far south in the ECMWF ensemble postage stamps, so I would think the UKMO solution is unlikely for now, but worth keeping an eye on.
“A spell of heavy rain possible moving northeast across southern UK on Saturday, as slowly deepening low moves northeast seems most likely for now.
“Then staying rather unsettled, windy and mild as we head into the first week of December, thanks to the tropospheric polar vortex organising and strengthening to the northwest over Greenland and northern Canada driving a strong westerly flow across the North Atlantic.
“This will manifest in a strong zonal (westerly) jet stream aimed at the UK and Ireland through much of next week, becoming very strong as the week wears on.”
