The agreement of deep cold east of Scandinavia is fairly remarkable on the ECM AI mean, although the main uncertainty is around this mid-Atlantic trough that models seem to be playing catch-up with a bit and have been doing so over the last few weeks.

Promising signs from the SYNOP and METAR stations today - should be drier and brighter tomorrow.

The interest to people who like cold weather will be the cold that remains to our E (can be seen here on the AIFS just E of Scandinavia). There has been some suggestion in modelling of a Scandi high developing which may advect some of this cold further W - will come back to this.

We may see a trickle of aurora down to mid-latitudes over the next few hours with the arrival of this CME, let us see.

Wet snow along the seafront here in Herne Bay earlier at 09:20, gusting 42 mph on a WNW’ly with a windchill near -6°C. It was certainly feeling very cold!

Can confirm it has been snowing down to sea level and can confirm that I’m also frozen to death 👍🏻

This is more snow than I was expecting from #StormGoretti I must say - dew point is very stubborn to fall and sat around 1°C.

Cold air will transfer further SE overnight bringing sleet and snow, although any accumulations are likely to be limited to higher ground especially later in the day. It'll be interesting to see what occurs! #uksnow
