    I’m really looking forward to the cold temperatures that we might get, so if I were to miss out then that’s not a bad second!

    plus I have the advantage of deciding whether to work in Dorset or Sussex next week, so I can chase accordingly ? 

    Good point! I love a cold period (hard frosts and cold days - preferably either snowy or blue skies). It also helps kill the garden/allotment pests...

    This is my actual sledge! It needs replacing as it’s pants on soft fluffy snow

    But on ice it’s like my old Nissan Cheery Europe..... dangerous!

    Looks like we've reached a pause - the cold looks nailed on, but we're still a bit far out for confidence in snowfall, small features tend to pop up at short notice and there is still uncertainty about how far east the front will reach on Tuesday, and how much precipitation it will produce. I won't be getting my sledge out just yet...

    It's such a shame we have been at similar stages a couple of times this Winter, only for it to implode at the final hour.

    Otherwise I would be getting very excited about the up-coming potential cold spell, but I just can't bring myself to fully come on board, fingers & toes have been burnt so many times.

    I shall quietly sit and watch it unfold, but not get my hopes up until I see snow falling.

    I totally understand the caution - I like to warn wife and friends a bit ahead of MET/BBC of possibly snow and cold weather, but I'm always loath to do it too early. We have had some tantalising output this winter, much more so than in recent years, and for most of us in the South it's not really delivered. However I do think that this time it is different. We have reached the much closer timescale for looking at the charts (Tuesday's potential now only 120 hours out, not 168 or more). There is also a high level of cross model agreement, with only minor differences. Of course all the runs are just possibilities, and from a pessimist there is always the fear that the downgrade will come. Time will tell, but I am much more hopeful this time than I have been since probably Jan 2013.

    Some very odd noises in the night around 1.00 am - wife investigated, but couldn't find anything. I then had a look and absolved both cats and the dog and then realised it was the old TV arial that I had been meaning to remove for ages was now hanging down the side of the house by the cable and swinging in the wind... Fingers crossed it wouldn't fall off and cause damage before I could remove it. Happily I've taken it down now!

    Depressing when you have very little snow settle and know the next chance of snow could be weeks away. 

    Not sure if anyone else feels like it but I feel like I waste a lot of my time chasing snow lol.

    I am a little bit depressed with. Even more so as its been a so near but yet so far, When I hear schools in Swindon being closed and I am 30 miles away with just the patchiest cover imaginable, plus having it snow almost continuously yesterday to no avail, it's not surprising to be a bit down. The butser hill snow is the final straw...

    Still it's just the weather...
