This spell feels like a more cruel version of the end of Nov/early Dec cold snap. Brilliant synoptics but yet again, most lose out on what really matters. I say this even though I was one of the very lucky few who saw 3 separate snow episodes back then. However, I always remained very conscious of the fact that the vast majority didn't see diddly squat. It is also like the early December cold spell of 2022. It's like the white stuff is like gold dust even though synoptic wise, the charts would give the old classics a run for their money. It really is crazy.
