Staffs and Cheshire looks like the least snowiest areas of the uk, known this for years, low levels 

The least snowiest area in the UK is Cornwall. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/learning/precipitation/snow/snow-in-the-uk

I couldn't agree more PS...In this part of the world, the best we'll from that'd be about 8C with some cold rain. Or, should we be really lucky, some driving drizzle.

Lovely!

If you don't like it head over to the other thread? There's plenty of potential to wet the coldies appetites, anyway id rather cold rain than that mild crap we've been used to the past few years at this time of year.

Another gorgeous day here after a frosty start

Are people confusing spring for winter though? March was cold and snowy but winter only saw a couple of marginal events for the hills down south? 

The 11th December snow event there was around 20+ cm here and a few of the north westerlys we had gave a good covering, can't remember exactly how many times though. Also the 2 beasts from the east happened before the 21st of march so antronomically speaking winter was pretty decent in terms of snowfall

Just going to say this out of the blue...Yes it's mostly our favourite time of the year but please let's be realistic with what the models and showing...

This is the model output looking for cold potential, if you want realism with what the models are showing you could always head over to the general model discussion thread instead?

Well without going into last winter too much rather than this one December was a 'mixed' month and indeed there were some snowy snaps though not really noteworthy and fleeting, last January though was a big no no, the further south you lived the worse it was (nearly 2c above normal here in the south east) which surprised me the MetO anomaly chart for the winter was near normal in these parts but maybe that's the difference between the 1961-90 and 1981-2010 stats!

Yeah that's true, me living at an altitude of 200 meters certainly helped last winter mind even though I live in south Wales. Anyway moving on let's hope this winter turns out to be a classic, things are looking very promising so far!                                                                                                              I wasn't around in 81-82 but I've heard stories from family members that that winter was was really severe around these parts, not sure if it was snowier than 78-79 though.

Aye...Compared to the winters of the 1960s and '80s, the last one was a damp squib.

It wasn't in my neck of the woods ed  I wasn't around in the 60s or 80s so I can't really compare but my mother said that the snow we had in March was the most she'd seen since 1978-79, we had over 10 foot drifts in places. Just a shame it didn't last long though.

Very true. But didn't change it being an overall average winter for the UK temperature wise. 

Yeah I guess it just seemed colder than average due to the fact that we saw more snow than the previous 4 winters combined!

Cheers for your thoughts @Froze were the Days yes indeed I was thinking of Poland in my case. Just sounds silly though as I was thinking exactly the same thing as you. And you're right about last winter in the UK, people forget one brief 'Beast' doesn't define the whole winter mean temp anomalies.

There were two beasts, a big snow event in December and frequent north westerlies which brought snow showers throughout December and January
