Theres more in Boston than there is in Thurlby [near Bourne] where our depot is.

Hopefully getting more this week.

Nothing in south Lincs at the moment

snowing nicely now at Thurlby near Bourne, see how it is later when i travel back to Boston

You would of had alot more snow than us but we did have two days off school, i just wished i had took photos of the event but unfortunately didnt bother. Shame we didnt have the videos on mobile phones then it would have been great to look back at. Regards Les

Hope so we have already had a really good covering and with temps to stay below freezing tonight hopefully no melt.

still snowing heavy with the wind blowing it around into small drifts, its been like this for the last 4 1/2 hours, not sure how much more to come.

i see you had a good bit yesterday morning, hope it stays as snow for you being on the coast.

coming down really fast now must be the same in Kirton

looks good and snowing heavy

I quite agree everything seemed different when we was younger we only remember the time we want to ? I wouldnt have said the summers have been too bad although 2007 was a wet one. Endless wet and windy weather again i dont think so we are in a drought here so no constant rain. Whats happened in the past has gone and the weather in our part of the world will change over the years. Regards Les

This is what can make our weather so interesting how it can change so quick but i dont think that will be the case this week.

It does take a brave call to deliver a forecast something that i think is pure luck if you get it right and thats why i dont predict a coming winter or summer.

But he has got a reaction from some even if we know its wrong. Les

The same for us we have had nothing but it does depend where you live and it sounds like A Winters Tale as done well, but when you look back at what was forecasted this winter like i did back in September and October its been nothing like. I know The Eye in the Sky posted in another discussion thread how quickly models can change out of nothing and over the years on here that has been the case, unfortunately as i mentioned before i think this January and February will be similar to what we had this year so its not looking good. Regards Les

No snow for us yet may need to wait until January, and my lad is asking questions why we had snow early last year and not this year. Regards Les

So places like Finland, Norway etc countries covered by snow for most of the winter they have a white christmas every year even if snow doesent fall on the day itself. I wouldnt class a single flake on the big day a white christmas, but snow on the ground then yes. Regards Les

Gavin Sorry getting my dates mixed up i was looking at Jan and Feb of this year which after the cold start of November and December 2010 we had absolutely nothing and thats why i can see Jan and Feb 2012 being similar. Les

It just goes to show how they make it a big deal of it as the topic of the weather is the main talking point everyday, and then they say theres more to come always makes me laugh, i would say next week will be similar to this but with a milder few days. With regards to a big freeze there needs to be a drastic change but my gut feeling we will have a January and February similar to last year. Regards Les

Thats why we love the weather, may not all be true but its never dull Les

I believe it was a streamer that cancelled the Lincoln christmas market last year, they can be hit and miss because unfortunately it missed us. Les

We could have a winter in a reverse of last year, i always think its best to get December here first for the proper cold and snow, January and February could be bad but to be honest i think we have been spoilt over the last couple of winters and my feeling that this will be more mild but i hope im wrong because the more mild the more i loose out money wise, Regards Les

Sometimes the winters you remember well have all had very mild days.

I think also the run up to christmas the weathermaen predicting a knife edge battle between mild and cold with the cold hanging on longer than forcasted. Regards Les

Christmas day weather will probably be wet, dry and fine sunny all over, with a possibility of a little bit of snow. Regards Les
