My thoughts entirely. Its was just a cool spell. The air mass was never from a real cold source and with the high SST's, widespread cold or snow was never on the cards. Lets just hope we do get a cold spell this winter....???? What this cool spell had confirmed again, is that its impossible to predict snowfall positions and amounts, even 12 hours before things can change massively. I will now be taking all early warnings / risk disruption / areas to be worst hit with a pinch of salt. best thing is watching the radar and your local lampost!!!
