Snow conditions apply once a cyclone to the west of an anticyclone are
stationed so as to act together directing mixed air temperatures from
the north over the islands.
There is no more to it than that.
People living near the Exitdoor and points east from there are likely
to have the draught hauled in from different directions but presumably
the same physics applies?
The current MetO currents show the series of cyclones coming out of
Darkest Murca belong to the series giving rise to fears concerning Mt
Cleveland in Alaskya. The set up is similar to that required for
tornadic cell evolution in them thar states:

It will be interesting to surmise the behaviour of the aquifers
involved. You may call them subduction zones if you like. (I
appreciate not many of you are in full command of your brains.)

Still it has stopped freezing. Always nice when the weather is warm
enough to snow.
