To be fair you're right really, despite my moaning about a poor winter. I'm sure I didn't see falling or settling snow two out of the last three winters, and I have seen transient falls of settling snow this winter. I think 2009 and 2010 set the bar much higher and while I don't expect to see such prolonged snowcover and ice days like we did in those winters, even a 4 or 5 day sold spell with snow accumulation everyday would have been a decent noteworthy wintry event. Oh and there's cold rain falling outside right now ...

This weekend seems to offer an easterly wind with cold rain. It's official, I've thrown in the towel on winter 15/16. I'm on the hunt for some milder weather now ...

Ironically you've changed the name of the Deed Poll office.

No frost here either the past two nights and despite these wonderful synoptics no snow in sight Cold and cloudy doesn't really cut it, I want the sunshine back!

A cloudy start has given way to a sunny mid-morning onwards.

I've had two polystyrene ball showers this afternoon. Winter has arrived ...

Absolutely no precipitation here. Drier than a camels chuff in a sandstorm.

It doesn't seem as though this cold spell will deliver anything in terms of snow for us (although things can change of course), but days of wall to wall sunshine are a tonic when you're off work for a week.

I love my music too

Hi NIck. I've seen a few "falling snow" events this winter here in Newcastle, but nothing that really makes me say wow, if that makes sense?! Although Monday 8 February was reasonably decent even if we did only get a temporary covering. Fingers crossed this next cold spell delivers something a little noteworthy ...

I prefer to see my party invite being accepted before I get too excited! Since 2009 and 2010 I haven't been to any parties at all. Yes I've seen snow, but nothing to write home about. I'm maintaining interest atm though ,,,,

Yes, judging by the mood in the MO thread, things might be looking up in terms of some late wintry weather. Too far out to be getting excited about yet and it could just be another garden path affair. Time will tell of course, but unless we get a decent N/NE/NNE'ly going, I can't see us getting much in the way of snow unfortunately.

Joking aside, the wind has got up quite a bit the last hour or two. No frost tonight that's for sure.

Look at you getting all Darren Bett

What a bloody glorious day today, clear blue skies, and although not warm (6c) it still seemed pleasant enough. Nothing warm or even mild in the forecast ....

Falling and settling snow certainly brightens up a Monday morning! Very minimal covering however.

No, I want the weather to come to me

Just returned from the pub (it was that cold I was almost doing a pub run coming home!) and it really is bitter out there now. Had one or two snow showers this evening, the last one was about an hour ago. Nothing settled but hey .... it's nice to see a bit of wintry weather now and then!

Oh go away

Just returned from the pub, cold out but wet under foot. Clearly nothing to report from this cold snap ....

A mixture of showers today, chiefly rain at first but then had a few very heavy hail showers and the last shower was a mix of rain and sleety bits. Car thermometer says 3c so not overly cold yet.

Sorry to be a whinge, but the NIMBY bias in this thread has been a little bit OTT at times recently. Although this post is off topic and will be removed (fair enough), I'd like to see people giving more UK wide views on what the models are showing rather than where a slider etc may deliver snow in the South East. For instance, snow showers affecting which areas? Thank you.

Latest charts are looking mighty fine good! And we're not talking 10 days away. Models tonight showing a disturbance running down the East coast of Scotland and into NE England on Saturday! I've got a good feeling that there will be snow for many of us by the time Monday is out

Looks as though the wintry weather (possibly) on offer later this week onwards will not affect us. Typical.

It looks as though this winter is going to limp tamely towards Spring at this juncture. Shame, but looking at the current forecast for the next 9 days the temperature ranges between 8c (tomorrow) and 6c for the following 8 days. No snow (obviously!) but it'll certainly feel quite chilly and there will be occasional frost for my location. So while there won't be snow, there will be plenty of wintry sunshine and it will at least feel seasonal. What's not to like?
