Here is an ADVANCED WARNING of Heavy Snow affecting Northern Scotland, Eastern Scotland, South West Scotland, Northern Ireland, North West England, North East England, The Midlands, Wales, South East England and East Anglia AND Lincolnshire.
Issued by the Met Office at 10:30 on Friday, 19 December 2003.
This warning is an update to that issued at 11:02 on Thursday, 18 December

The Met Office is expecting a low pressure system to move east across northern England tomorrow with rain turning to snow over the Southern Uplands, the Grampians and perhaps the northern Pennines.
Note that there has been a change in the timing and track of this low relative to yesterdays ideas.
Once the low moves away, winds will turn to the north or north-east, as mentioned before, with frequent showers turning wintry and locally heavy. These may affect northern Irish Sea coastal areas on Sunday, but in particular, they will transfer to northern and eastern counties of Scotland and England. Several cm of snow is possible locally with some drifting in gale-force winds, which could lead to disruption of transport. There is still some doubt about exact details relating to the severity of the weather and this is reflected in the relatively low risk assessments given above for most of the regions.
For inquires regarding this warning - please contact your regional Met Office.
Transmitted by the Met Office. at 10:30 on Friday 19 December
