    You have to take the mild damp cloudy Christmas Day though. Don’t worry, you will get a snowy period in January or February to make up for it.

    Well apparently even in the glory days of the early to mid 80s winters (1981 excepted) Christmas Day was usually mild and green but if we got a January or February spell that matched any of the best cold spells from those months in the 80s I think most coldies on here myself included would be ok with not having a white Christmas. Though ultimately I would like to have the best of both worlds haha.

    2017 produced some snow in London around the second weekend of December, then it turned milder for Christmas Day, but nothing exceptional, around 10-11c and then it turned much colder between Boxing Day and new year. We then had that cold snowy spell in late February and early March.

    Perhaps this winter will be a repeat of that. 

    I'd take that.

    Maybe this is the coldest early December spell since 2010 (and don't get me wrong I've found it a far more satisfying start to winter than most since 2010) but it certainly hasn't been the best early December cold spell since then (in terms of getting a good snow event out of it). 2017 was a much better spell than this one for that and I'm sure plenty of places in the country would agree.

    Anybody would think with talk on here that pre Christmas cold and snow never happens anymore. Sure it's not that often really but the end of November last year saw a pretty cold period with a reasonable snowfall (best of the extended Winter 2021/22 season it would turn out as the actual Winter soon after turned out mild). Early December 2017 was also really good with late December not been bad either if you lived in the right place (like the other side of Birmingham). Not forgetting late December 2020 which was quite seasonal with snow around. Ok that's all I can really think of post 2010 but nonetheless we're only talking last year and 2 and 5 years ago so hardly forever ago. Although I do accept that the far south of England hasn't been as lucky but then again I'd have thought snow in that region before Christmas has always been pretty rare.

    I think it's January and February really which are the months all of us have seen a big decrease in snowy weather in recent decades more so than December.
