I'm going to hold off until the 30th or 31st when I start formulating the February forecast to go up on the site.
In the meantime, I have a feeling that we'll have a CET of 552C, making it the warmest calendar month since records began, and killing off most of the country's population. (Only kidding)
I'm going for 551.9C so if it's slightly cooler I beat the mighty TWS. Hurrah! 4.7C actually.

+0.7 C , with light snow falling, having had a 1cm dusting overnight. Melting alas, as ever in Cambridge

Mods, you may or may not want to move this.
I am struck that the many cold-lovers-to-the-exclusion-of-any-other-more-realistic-option on this board must be getting very irritated at the lack of any real and legitimate outlet for the excitement, emotion and general frosty froth that would normally have had some cause for release by this stage in the autumn. Talking about a million highly unlikely "if's", "but's" and "maybe's" out at +660h is all well and good, even in the snow capital of Brighttown, but in the meantime my lawn is still growing like it's May; it isn't - and I'm getting annoyed.
Therefore, all the dreamers out there, here's a chance to construct your own fantasy winter.
The rules are simple:
- You have 20 snow points to "spend" in order to select dates and locations on which snow might occur. The individual whose selection produces the greatest number of points will win.
- You must have at least one choice from each month.
Your choices are (date - location - cost)

Wanter points are WON as follows.
If it snows at the location on the day - 10
If there is an air frost on the preceding night - 2
If it is a freezing day - 5 (this includes the 2 pts for the air frost on the night before)
If there is lying snow at the location (irrespective of, and in addition to, whether or not it snows on the day) - 4
Every one of the dates is well over the FI horizon: so come on, turn the prospects for wonter into a real wanter full of winter.
Excellent diversion Stratos, here goes;
December 25th Inverness 3
January 30th Norwich 3
February 18th Aberdeen 6
February 18th Nottingham 3
March 1st Derby 2
March 11th Fort William 3

I should like the prize to come in advance - a good white winter for Cambridge ... not too much to ask ... is it?

Good grief, even snowless ol' Cambridge is progged -6c, with the "prospect" of a bit of the white stuff! Any experts on who might be able to confirm whether it's worth getting the camera out on Saturday am. Signed Overdue of The Backs.
