Hope I'm wrong and it all falls as Snow but can't see it with a system coming from that direction and tracking down eastern side of UK.

It might start off as Snow in Thursday but will quickly turn back to rain except for very tops. It could give some snow on its back edge as it clears to south east.

Seen some great scenes up there in winter. Castleton is my favorite area. Can be a completely different world from down here.

Paul Hudson said on look north that Sleet had been reported up on Snake this evening.

Calendar news weatherman just shown a chart for later this week with winds coming down from Scandinavia. Temperatures this evening are -25 in north and -18 in south.

Frost free this morning. Overnight Snow didn't happen.

Not much chance of seeing any down here then.

Just gone up to -1 from -2 as cloud starts to come in from west.

I don't take charts for more than five days away all that seriously. Been let down far too often over years. Apart for higher parts further North I don't see anything to get excited about this coming week at moment.

Its still sub zero down here. It takes a good few inches to cause any panic around here unlike them softies down south. 1cm equals National Emergency down there.

You'll need to put on the old Parker is one of his favorites.

Temperature falling like a stone. Central heating turned up.

Looking as though we could see a light covering around here tomorrow night. Pity most of it will have gone by daylight on Monday.

Yes it was and this is the first winter I remember because I was only 4 at time. I remember overflow pipe freezing over outside resulting in water tank overflowing and flooding house. Also built my first Snowman. :-)

Frosty

I remember the 79 winter very well, it was my last year at School and we was having our mock exams in February so while rest of school was told not to attend, we had to attend and with no public transport and had to trudge 2 miles through deep Snow on the Thursday and Friday. Some Snowdrifts were waist high. The late March Blizzard gave the deepest Snow around here in South Yorkshire, over a foot in most places and more than this up on moors to west, Where I lived back then I could see hills to West of Sheffield and I can remember Snow laying on ground in deep drifts from first winter Snow event on New Years Eve right up into May.

Hard to believe that 12cm of Snow would cause problems in Moscow.

Hi everyone, new on here. Like the post above mentioning December 1981, it was similar to 2010, very cold with lots of Snow events but followed by a milder second half to winter. The winters back in the 70s and 80s that had long major Snow events never really got going until after Christmas. This is something I always look for now days.

They're bound to get it right one day. lol
