Spent my childhood in London watching the rest of the UK get pasted with snow while I got nothing.... so when it was time to come back to the UK after Spain I did my research... I was checking ASL on every property we looked at. spent time looking into history of snow falls for the area etc... and low and behold here I am since 2009....
Ha, I absolutely love that story! A true weather nutcase (and I mean that in a complimentary way)
When you guys were getting pasted on Boxing Day, I have to confess to spending some time admiring the various 'asl' readings for the Peak District - very, very envious. I even checked on property prices in Buxton!

Just a sugar dusting of snow in Knowle. And yet we had plenty of 'direct hits' re the showery activity last night.
Still, something is better than nothing!
As usual nothing here :-(
Good to have you back on here, Ian

And stopped again.
The stress of this will turn me to drink, I tell ya!
Better than nothing though, Fizz. At least we can say we've seen *some* snow this winter
A few bits & bobs still incoming from the west.

hi bish, dyou mean that coming thru Wales now??
Yep, plus the various showers lining up to the south of Ireland as well - those should hopefully be headed our way later this evening, if they can stay intact

Looking good for us on the radar....snow almost here with more to follow
shhhh Arnie, don't jinx it!
Seriously though, the radar does look pretty juicy for later on. Just need this colder air to get nicely embedded, then away we go

The temperature is dropping fast, already down to 2.7°C (Dp 0.9°C)
Plenty of showers heading into the SW - but they reach this far north later on? Looks a bit touch & go, we'll see.

Snowsie, can I ask a nosy question? Is the amazing pic in your avatar taken around here (i.e. Solihull park perhaps), or from somewhere else?
It looks like a scene from December 2010 maybe.

Although those charts look very promising, BBC Midlands Today don't seem to make much of the snow risk at all.
Who to believe?

I Fereguson over on the MO thread has said they will be issuing any snow warnings for tuesday, tomorrow., when they have the advantage of their more Hires models. He is still expecting snow in the SWest.
MIA
Hmmm, interesting........
If there is a possibility of snow for the SW, that strikes me as being good news for us further north i.e. the Midlands.

Looking very possible for SNOW across the Midlands for Tuesday afternoon into the evening

Incredibly windy last night, especially in the early hours. All sorts of things blown over in the back garden.
Big drop in temperatures currently taking place, it was an astonishing 13.7°C here at half past four this morning whereas now it has already dropped to 7.3°C

Some good hoar frosts and very bitter mornings, all very wintry! How about yourself?
We had about an hour or two of quite heavy snow on Boxing Day evening, which had just started to accumulate nicely when it abruptly turned to heavy rain instead!

Don't be surprised to see some transient snowfalls next week, especially on higher ground and to lower ground on the backedge of fronts/at night. Should be a exciting week.
Indeed, at long last some interesting weather coming up. The past few weeks (bar Boxing Day) have been rather dull, in more ways than one.
How long did your snow stick around for, Radders?

Steady rain since half past seven this morning. Currently 8.1°C
Despite it being over a week into January, can you believe I actually had to capture a large hornet which had somehow found its way indoors last night? It was on its last legs from what I could tell, but nonetheless I would have expected them to have died off several weeks ago? Vicious looking thing as well.

The fact that there are signs of the PV being further compromised to more weakened state by futher wave breaking is great leap forward to the position we were in last year with the record strong PV.
I knew the PV was especially strong last year, but hadn't realised it was literally the strongest ever recorded.
As a matter of interest, how is PV strength measured? And and which point of Winter 2013/14 was it at it's most potent?

A bit too early to say, to be honest. I think the further north one is, the greater the chance of seeing something wintry.
