Freezer Door Opens!

Written by on February 7, 2021 in Rest of Europe, United Kingdom & Ireland with 0 Comments

Focus of heavy snowfall has shifted from Scotland to SE England this weekend as low pressure drops south and high pressure drifts east from Iceland to Scandinavia.

The building high and south descending low opens the door to polar-continental air and it will only grow colder as we progress through the next 48 hours.

Significant and disruptive snow is likely for London, SE and East Anglia.

The system snow shall be followed by North Sea feeder bands which could build a nice solid snow cover down the east side of England and fill some gaps across Scotland too.

Once that low is well south of the UK, the freezer door opens up!

With heavy snow over the low countries and snow cover extending from Russia to UK, the westbound polar air should weaken minimally.

Once east winds from 850mb down to the surface align Sunday, the UK is essentially plugged in to Russia sourced air for at least 2 straight days then high pressure moves in clearing and calming the skies. THIS may allow a shot at -18C late week.
