I would just refer you back to my look at this week ahead on the previous page. Nothing has really changed, apart from even lesser chance of wintriness midweek. Some severe frosts coming up, with some crisp sunny conditions by day but freezing fog by night in parts. A virtually dry week after today's drizzle.

What really does my head is opening a newspaper and being greeted with hysterical "Britain hit by heavy snow/Britain in the freezer" subheadings...and various similar crap themes by London-centric journalists who can't be bothered to learn that the Western side of the UK is anything but in the "freezer" :rolleyes:

Many of us over here did not even see so much as a flake of snow!

Really annoys me. :angry:

I don't suppose that the headline 'Parts of highly populated England hit by heavy snow/ a small part of England in the freezer' would sell many papers.

Recollections of Winter's past

Most memorable Winter's for me:

Whilst in Coventry:

The run of mild Winters between about 1973 and 1975: Little in the way of snow or hard frosts, boring for a teenager wanting snow!

1978/9: Cold and snowy almost throughout. Heavy falls at times

1981/82: Two of the most amazing cold and snowy spells experienced; heavy snow and -16c in December, and then repeat in January (still the coldest in Coventry since then).

1987: If only for the experience of Winter at it's most fierce- heavy drifting snow, maximum of -6c!

Think it was 1988/89? For mildness, no snow, and dryness, and walking the footpaths across fields which were not muddy, not because they were frozen, rather because it was so dry

December 1990: The deepest snow I have experienced, 31cm in Coventry, the people getting together to clear the roads. Nearly all gone a few days later!

February 1998: The warmest ever experienced in Winter. Walking the countryside sporting a T-shirt as it was a sunny 18c.

And in west Wales: Most Winter's have seen at least one snow fall, although not always very much:

January 2010: An outstanding Winter month of cold and snow, very severe frosts, down to -16.7c. Made better after somewhat having given up on such spells returning to this land!

November to December 2010: Three such severe cold episodes in one calender year! Very unusual for a freeze up in November and for the snow not to thaw. Then remarkable cold, and 20cm snow in December, beautiful scenes. The lowest temperature I have recorded of -17.7c on Christmas morning (I was not there to experience it though). A truly snowy and freezing Christmas Day spent in the Midlands.

Fairly grotty weather here. Still (just about) full snow cover in the back garden, but the thaw has been quite heavy all day. It's now reached that tipping point where I'd rather it melted entirely than stick around with treacherous patches of half-frozen slush.

Worth noting, perhaps, that the GFS is wildly wrong even at a few hours' notice as regards 2m temps. There's excellent agreement on the 06z that this afternoon's max would be somewhere around 3 °C (see pic). In fact, it's been above that for the whole of daylight hours, and the max has been 6.7 °C.

Not with high pressure almost on top of Wales, where would the snow come from?
