Dont take to much attention of the forcasts of lots of snow over the weekend i remember this time last year they all predicted 50cm of snow the next day and the next day it was clear blue skies !! these weather forcasts are notoriously inaccurate they just provide pretty pictures and take your money (sn forecast)
That's why I only rely on their webcams as they can't lie. Following the pressure systems that track across the Atlantic and Arctic are much better indicators - that is if you know how to interpret them.
I have looked very closely at weather systems for weeks in hope, and this one is building up from the Med. and definately there is going to be a good dump of the white stuff.
You are 100% spot on, that weather system is going to be a dream!! The question is...will it make a slight deviation and arrive that little bit later or earlier?? My money is on it arriving During Friday sometime and lasting a bit longer than some of the websites are currently predicting - I reckon it will last until well into next week. Possibly even into that weekend. It will, however, also drop the temperature something chronic so dress warm!!
