Lol, very true. I'd hate to think what chemicals would be found in any Glasto fatberg.

That's echoed in (3) here. From TWO: Update 1 suggests a significantly higher than average chance of snow this Christmas in both the north and south of the UK. The primary reasons for this are: 1) Background signals including ENSO and QBO are not likely to be big drivers of the UK's weather during early winter. 2) We are close to a solar minimum. 3) Since the Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) in February there has been an ongoing signal for high pressure blocks to have more influence on the UK's weather than normal. In the late winter and early spring northern blocking led to widespread snow as the Beast from the East made its presence felt. That was followed by one of the warmest (it could turn out to be the warmest once all of the data has been collated) summers on record in the UK due to the persistence of anticyclonic conditions. As we head into the meteorological autumn the elevated signal for high pressure still appears to be present.

Looking back at the radar returns of 1st and 2nd December 2010, when 1ft [30cm] of snow was dumped on the south. A trough came up from France into the south east, turned into a low and expanded and stalled. First pic: 9.30pm on 1/12. Second on 00:30 on 2/12. Third at 02:00 on 2/12. Fourth pic the predicted synoptics for 18:00 on 1/12.
