Jam tomorrow charts ongoing in the MAD thread.
Meanwhile in the real world...the clock is ticking, the days are slowly but surely getting longer...
Time is beginning to run out.

The wonderful novelty of a day where there is no rain.

Whisper it quietly but for me the fat lady may not even be clearing her throat yet but she's definitely entered the building.
What have most of us had since the first half of December? Too much rain, an epic fail of probably the most hyped NW'ly ever, and now here we are near the fag end of January with the tell tale signs of a failing winter all too evident in the MAD thread with the Jam Tomorrow charts being posted..
Its not over yet but the signs sure as hell don't look good.

Really could do with a dry spell of weather now. Ground getting pretty saturated.

All things considered..that "cold spell" sucked the sweat from a dead man's balls.

Horribly cold and wet. One of my least favourite winter weather types. Thankfully rain looks set to clear in an hour or so.

They don't make Snow to rain events like they used to.
Years gone by we would have a dumping of snow (8-10 inches) the snow would get lighter and lighter then become drizzle..Fog would descend and the slow drip drip would begin.
An hour or so later the roaring sound of the snow sliding off the roof in a huge lump, making a huge mound of snow where it had landed.
Saw this happen many times when I was younger.

Snow has turned to rain across Wales and now reports of rain in Staffordshire and parts of the Midlands. If you still have falling snow then enjoy it while it lasts, sadly you don't have long.
Mild crap is coming.

Snow now turning to rain.
So that is now that until.....

Snow (proper) now. Heavier precipitation making the difference.

What cold spell, I haven't had a frost.
Cold spell?
One frost...no snow...too much wind and enough rain to make the ground soggy and waterlogged again.
If thats cold zonality then shove it where the sun dont shine.

Pretty damning indictment of recent winters that my deepest snow record came about after the Spring Equinox.

NIMBY speak here but this "cold spell" has been a pile of sh*te

Total snow in 18 hours with some melt.
The hell are you waiting for man? Get that snowman built. Then perhaps a spot of tobogganing before lunch.

Can anyone tell me when this so called most potent North westerly we've had in years with snowmageddon is turning up?? Or has it just been and gone hahaha shocking
Wasn't even a North Westerly was it? More of a Westerly which gave us mostly rain and sleet. Yeah a little bit of snow last night but whoopdy do. Big deal.
I had a hunch this spell was going to fail to live up to all the hype. I fear we had the best of what winter has to offer in December.

Latest on here mate, upgrade! Could do with a slight shift south still.
Amen to that, Would bring us into the game snow wise. Getting naff all from these showers. NW'lys we'd be getting hammered. Sadly these are coming in on a W'ly so its a big

This upcoming "cold spell" doesn't really look like cutting it, away from elevation.
When someone says cold spell to me I think of snow (for the majority - not just the lucky few who live up a mountain).
I think of frost, I think of ice days with dazzling sunshine from gin clear blue skies.
I do not think of rain and wind, and at best slushy showers which might give a temporary covering in the heaviest bursts as a cold spell.
i fear disappointment will be the overriding feeling of the vast majority of people when this "spell" is over.

OMG!!! Arctic blast on the way! Polar Vortex targets UK! UK colder than the North Pole! Britain to be buried in deepest snow for a generation! Shops say sales of snow shovels up by 500%! Councils say not enough grit available to keep major roads open! Airports facing three day closure! Snowmegeddon ahead!!!
Sorry.....slipped into Daily Express mode there for a moment. I'm alright now. I've taken my pills.
But - could all this happen in ten days time? It's not impossible.....

My driveway has only just (finally) dried up. Ground is still wet and waterlogged in places.
Dont fancy a NW'ly cold rainfest.

Ding dong the gloom has gone
The rotten gloom
The poxy gloom
Ding dong the rotten gloom has gone
Blue skies and dazzling sunshine has returned..lifting the spirits no end.
As for the upcoming period...not over enamoured at the thought of cold rain coming from a modified NW'ly.

US winter = Bone numbingly cold. UK winter = mind numbingly boring (unless wind and rain is your thing)
