Who Has Had No Snow At All

[jy]

This is a geographic interest question and nothing else.Since October many parts of Britain have seen lying snow including London.There will be a few areas that have seen not a flake of snow at all.My main guess would probably be Central Southern England Westwards,but even then im sure snow has been reported from Hereford and Wales at some stage.Even in my own county ofHampshire although we saw now snow as yet the East of the county had some.This is not a moan and gripe topic just one of interest to me .Many thanks in advance for your information.

The lightest and shortest of snow showers a few weeks ago, that is all!

Had a bit of snow in October, which gave a very light dusting, but it did snow for a good few hours, the only problem was that it was wet snow. Not bad for October though!

Last night I was very disappointed, the Met Office had a warning for Staffordshire and nothing happened.

[maidstone weather]

Only snow since October here was the 23rd November (Sunday) during the morning, about 1cm accumulated in an hour, then melted as the snow turned to rain and washed it away . Never got any in October, nor this morning either

[johnholmes]

obviously people cannot read !

two telling of snow when the question is anyone NOT had ANY snow?

grief its a decease, another one (sorry wrong spelling but I'm sure you get my drift?)

NO SNOW not those who have??

[Karen]

no days of lying snow here in beeston, nottingham. only rain.

[Devon-Nelly]

Had nothing here, just as it gets cold enough it either turns milder or the showers dry up

[Marcus_surfer]

No snow here yet this winter

[Grimsby Snow Lover]

Here in Grimsby we had about 2cm in November from that very potent northerly, thing was though me and the wife we shopping at Meadowhell, I mean hall so I missed it Had a lot of sleety stuff this morning and over the last few nights, not bad considering its only December the 4th!!!

Finally a snow reports thread I can contribute to,

A few snow flurries in October 28th, but no lying snow since February 2007, and no snow whatever in the past weeks events.

[Somerset Squall]

Not a flake here. Though you have to have a PROPER cold spell for it to snow here, none of this "marginal" business. As soon as marginal is mentioned then it's no hope for here.

[clark3r]

No snow here yet this winter

no snow here in lancing west sussex since april but hoping for a few flakes before the new year

[Thundery wintry showers]

I'm pretty certain that most of Devon hasn't seen a flake of snow so far, although there was a big hailstorm at the end of October there. For that matter, I also doubt there's been anything in Cornwall except for high ground.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

4 lots, 28th oct heavy wet snow that didnt stick, 23rd nov small hours, dusting did stick soon went, 2nd dec 7-7.30am heavy shower again just dusting that did stick, 4th dec small hours 1-2am dusting did stick but not for long

not bad for even larger teapot for me in the south, 3 sprinklings and wet snow, and still only 4th dec

[snowdrifter]

Nope - no snow here either, despite the fact that at 6pm yesterday our local (ie coastal) radio station - Radio Wave forecast heavy snow for the Fylde Coast and difficult conditions till at least mid-morning. Result? Rain from midnight onwards! Still, has been the coldest start to winter here in these parts in the 7 years we've lived here.

Not meaning to be pedantic here, but technically anyone can post. The question is "Who has had no snow at all", so by saying "Not me, I have had snow" is answering that question

[Magadan]

No snow in central Co Armagh, just some wet sleet last night, but snow lying over Mourne Mountains in Co Down 30 miles away.

This makes no sense whatsoever. ??

[Mark]

Not a flake. Well, not during the day anyway. Might have had a couple last night before the temp rose to 8c and it rained, but probably not

As Somerset Squall said, to get anything here that doesn't melt before lunch we have to have had prolonged cold and perfect conditions. Oh for 1985 again...

[donna-m]

I've had no laying snow at all, but thats usual for here as tucked away on north essex coast plus being

only 10min walk from sea and only being about 14ft above sea level, so i have no hope= unless we ever

get a good easterly

[Stargazer]

We had a light dusting of snow in the early hours of October 28 - otherwise nothing at all. I think that had gone by 9am anyway, so technically it probably wasn't a day of lying snow. This latest cold spell has been almost entirely dry with the exception of the early hours of this morning when it rained. Funny year this one - snow in April and October, otherwise none at all (so far, anyway).

[WINTRY WALES]

Sweet Fa here this winter!!

Come to think of it i had nothing at all last year either

This brings me onto a subject that some on this thread will probably share with me.

For central southern England, westwards past Bristol into south eastWales (where i live) and up to say shropshire avoiding the cheshire gap, you can draw a triangle. I think this is the most snowless area of Britain.

A direct northerly or north westerly doesn’t do us much favours as we are a tad too far south and any precipitation usually fizzles out across the welsh mountains etc... An easterly or north easterly snow showers penetrate far in enough inland to reach us here either.

Some of the best snowfalls from yesteryear came from deep cold embedded across Britain, and a mild front approaching from the west would bring snowfall for a while. But now (Last night as an example) is always on the wrong side of marginal.

So a lot on this forum will get there dumping or have already had a dumping this winter and good luck to you. But I truly believe there is not much hope for a good spell of snow for us in the snow less triangle

Sorry for going off on one. Rant over.

None sighted last night, went to bed at 1am and no snow reports on the Met Office website And no none in November or October either.

[johnny1972]

Sleet here a couple of times but no snow falling or lying here.

Having lived in Southampton for many years I always thought of the most snowless area being a rough triangle bounded by Bournemouth, Winchester and Portsmouth, presumably corresponding to JY's "snowless Hampshire triangle". The area certainly shows up nicely as one of the few that on average gets no snow at all in December - see http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/ave...12000/dl/12.gif. The only area I think might be noticeably more snow free overall would be the west of Cornwall and the Channel Islands.
