    We did get an easterly, just yet again rather benign.

    There were many who were getting SOO excited but this is what it always ends up in reality!  Has been like this for 5 years.  Hence, my recommendation on a health warning for the SSW and what may (or probably will not knowing our luck) come about.

    Further ahead - we should all be concentrating on developments with the Stratospheric set up from next week - the GFS is practically rendered useless by this and will change considerably by next week - keep your eyes out for the potential for a strong easterly mid-latter end of Feb. Afraid this won't become clear until nearer the time - the charts (particularly GFS) are hopeless at sorting this out at this range

    I think there should be a huge health warning attached to the possible developments in latter Feb.  I get the feeling some people are expecting this:  stuck-in-blizzard.gifin Hyde Park.

    Seen toooo many fabled hysterical developments over past years, which led to a chilly couple of days and en mass wrist slitting on the MOD thread and beyond.

    Some years ago there was a potential snow alert (it didn’t happen) and I subsequently bought a snow shovel from Tesco. They had also seen the alert and had loads of shovels at the entrance to the store.

    I have had this snow shovel some five years now and all it’s ever been used for is shovelling leaves in the autumn, says it all really.

    I thought I was the only one who brings out the red shovel to clear leaves in autumn!  I am so relieved I am not alone :yahoo:

    Yep :(, wintry showers mentioned this morning!

    High temps too, not impressed another poor form by the models and more known forecasters re-snow and cold!

    Get the feeling that even if everything aligns on the models, it seems to always underwhelm when it gets to our shores in reality.  We then have consoling messages such as (paraphrasing) "at least it is a change from what we have - frost is good!" or "2-3 days of cold is better than none"

    This is absolute rubbish. The areas you mentioned will get plenty of cold weathrr and snowfalls in years to come. 

    Why people look back on winters past with their rose tinted glasses on I don't know. Having lived through the 70's and 80's I can tell you there were plenty of mild winters back then. Yes there were very cold snaps and big snowfalls here in the south west but they were rare events even back then.

    In years to come, when conditions are right we will still see very cold weather and snowfalls, even here in the south west, but they will be pretty rare events and they always were!

     

    Yeah, but when we have experienced warmer winters and hardly any snowfall for the best part of a decade, then surely, we should take it as the new norm!?

    I have to say I am speaking more for when I live and work and that is the SE.

    Roll on spring .Thats when we see normally see proper Northern Blocking and the chance of some decent snow here.Last time we saw lying snow here was March 2013;more than in Dec 2010 

    Godd riddance Winter 17/18 a complete joke and traversty of a winter in the SE

    We need to get used to the idea that this is now the norm!
    Snow in the SW, S and SE of the UK particularly is now rare, transient events.

     30 years  of  nearly snowless January’s are though.

    how many decent cold snowy spells can anyone remember in JANUARY since the 80s ,count them on one hand 

    ... and yet there are still expectations that every Jan will be a beasterly snowfest!

    I an losing the will to live when people still gain some excitement from day 10 models!  I have a gut feeling that the 2 snow days we saw last month in the SE is it  for this winter.  Getting into a cycle of nothingness, then hope and then verbal fights on the MOD thread when it all disintegrates near reliable time.

    What a disappointment. The models can't even deliver us the crisp sunny weather we were 'promised' two days ago for today! That's now been scuppered by a layer of low cloud trapped under the High pressure. :nonono:
