Close to Wybunbury. Nice pubs and church. Last decent and sustained snowfall would have been in the winter of 2009/10. OK here this morning but glad that I'm heading to the East Coast later for a few days. 

Think that was January 2010, we got about 3-4 inches. Even December 2010 was poor here with areas North&South&East of here hammered

I hope to see some polar NWly flows this winter. They make for some of my most favourite night timelapses, Cumulonimbus and snow falling from them

 

I'd love to see them, but for low lying areas like mine these days especially early in the winter with the warmth of the Irish Sea, it often means rain/sleet. that's if we get them at all now.

pffft! no snow here then through Dec and Jan, not surprising though, being realistic the Atlantic will dominate

Looking at what the Americans think and with the ongoing general warming we could be looking at a record number of 'named' storms. and probably some sort of mild/flooding record broken at some point.

Others may know better but this isn't good news - 

September 2020 ENSO update: La Niña is here! | NOAA Climate.gov

La Niña is here and likely to continue through the winter. Our blogger covers current tropical Pacific conditions and what La Niña can...

 

Suggests low pressure coming across the Atlantic and a mild pattern with the cold away well away to the North.

can't be as bad as here, been crap since late 90's, just the odd decent event in 22 years

I think Stafford has done better than here - this December it will be 20 years since we last had a 10cm fall.

anywhere near Wybunbury? heard of that place from Road Wars! funniest bit I think! Pat Knight had never heard of it

About 10 miles NW of there, sadly one of the most snowless areas of the UK !

Very quiet weather over the last few days, looks like it is about to change !
