The UK is set for a flurry of heavy and rare early-December snow this week, with even far southern regions on course for disruptive accumulations.
The first dusting is expected to arrive across the northern half of the UK today, Dec. 2, and more will follow in the coming days, to more southern regions, too, as a descending Arctic blast tightens its grip on the nation.
Heavy snow is likely to have buried vast swathes of the country by Friday, with forecasters suggesting the bitter wintry mix could even rage on until the middle of next week -at least- with hard frosts also expected:
“In the clear periods between bands of wintry showers, frosts are likely and these could be sharp or even severe in prolonged clear conditions in north-western parts of the UK,” warns Steve Ramsdale, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office.
Over the next 5 days alone, the latest GFS runs reveal Britain will be hit by a substantial smattering of early-season snow as frigid polar air rides ominously far-south on the back of a meridional jet stream—a setup that’s shown to increase during times of low solar activity–such as we’re suffering now:
Iceland and Scandinavia can also expect disruptive accumulations running into the feet over the coming days.
Also seeing heavy snow this week will be Portugal, central and southern Spain, central France, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Czechia, all of Austria and Slovenia, central and southern Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Lithuania, Turkey, Georgia, and even Morocco, and northern Algeria–in hindsight, it would have actually been easier to list the nations that aren’t expecting snow.

My district experienced two very hot days before the official start of the Australian summer. This was nothing unusual, although the media didn’t necessarily see it that way. Nor did they see that the extremely hot district temperatures forecast by our Bureau of Climate Change, I mean Meteorology, were unsurprisingly not remotely reached on either day.
After all, the climate steadfastly refuses to warm to the warmist’s tune. However, it is heartwarming to see that my car’s air-conditioner computer has gotten the message. On a frosty winter’s night it records the outside temperature at over thirty degrees Celsius. On a cool summer’s morning, it can hit over fifty degrees Celsius.
Maybe I could sell it to the Bureau as a mobile (mis-)recording device?
Sell it – cash in hand – and put a fake name and address on the receipt you give them.
As expected beyond the hype: December 3rd, London 6-7C, raining, and for coming days no snow forecast, or frost.
That’s the OTHER side of the coin. 🙂 You don’t ever do that on CNN right or left wing sites.
About five days ago – in the Atlas Mts of Morocco – snow. It’s amazing where one finds weather stations.

It’s in English. The “4167” is the altitude of the highest station in meters.
Most forecasts seem to show UK snow only for N W and NW, rain for southern areas and SE, while Europe charts show UK mostly with little if any snow, so far. Maybe snow lovers will be advised to cross the Channel – if there is any way of getting there. Maybe things might change in due course.
Oh take a look at the snow but according to the Climate Alarmists there would never be snow again Shows you not trust these screwballs
Cmon over here to the burnt out west coast and say that with a straight face! We have had a permanent El Nino behavior for some reason.
