Looks Like the East/South East are going to get buried again.

For here, just wet old rain, maybe a bit of sleet in Eastern Counties.

[AWD]

Looks like Central/Eastern England getting buried again!

Rain, and if we are lucky, a bit of sleet here in the west!

Its going to be cold around here, just not snowy unfortunetly!

[khodds]

Guess its not our winter. Roll on spring.

Oooooh, but what are we supposed to do whilst we wait til Spring arrives!

I cant wait til December, we can get rid if the rut we are stuck in now, and start again a fresh, with hopefully more excitment!

[Snow shut work]

Nothing I hate more than an easterly thats bone dry. What a complete waste. Any snowfall is usually from fronts from the west.

A true northerly, or even a half as@ed one generally has moisture.

Go away cold dry east weather.

guys and gals, it is going to happen Patience Grasshoppers

[farmer2555]

[khodds]

Eer on the side of caution and look fwd to next winter.. That way u won't be disappointed! Lol!

Once bitten twice shy -

Although last weekends snow/rain was pretty much as expected I still was left a little bitter that it didn't upgrade as it could have....

Not really fussed about potential 3/4 days away, if it's within 24/36 hrs and looking odds on I will start getting a little excited.

To be honest I just want the beach, bbq's and pub gardens now...

[AWD]

No doubt we will get a strong Northern Block in April, lasting for weeks on end, giving us a record breaking cold Spring and Summer! Lol!

[jethro]

I'm just so bored with being cold. At least if we get a thick hoare frost it's pretty as well as cold, snow is the ultimate bonus and makes cold tolerable but this nothingness is sooooooooooooooooooo dull and I'm sick of wearing oodles of layers just to get through a working day.

Seriously longing to feel the Sun on my skin again, roll on Summer.

Oh shush! That is not even vaguely funny.

[jethro]

Sounds like another trip up the mendips!

By the way on a slight change of subject, does anyone know why animated avatars don't work anymore, mine should be animated & not a static image.

Looking at your avatar, it becomes crystal clear why they're not animated anymore.

[alijoe]

well, they do say Be careful what you wish for I suppose. But yes the thought of summer around the bbq with the fire lit does not really fill me with glee. Stranger things have happened though lol.

[Frosty_wsm]

Looking at your avatar, it becomes crystal clear why they're not animated anymore.

And just what's wrong with a squirrel massage lol

[jethro]

Useless fact of the day.....when female Squirrels are in season they whistle - a very loud, human like wolf whistle.

Strange but true.

once bitten?! its been like three times this winter for us already!

I won't be happy if its another south east only event!

-5c here now.

[Nights King]

Im not impressed with the south east bias the models seem to have this winter will we see any proper snow - snow events and not the rubbish brief snow to rain?

-5c now.

[Iceberg]

slight upgrade for parts of the sw for thursday night. nae below.

bbc forecasts also have it as snow for the east and north of the region again.

heres hoping. !

[khodds]

Hmmm... Thanks for the update. I won't get excited.... Yet

You can tell straight away that is a very quick snow to rain event though! Light snow followed by the moderate rain that is shown over Wales!

[Severe Siberian icy blast]

To be honest im really looking forward to this fri again now. I really fail to understand why im technically in gloucestershire as im acutally further east then b'ham and only 25miles from oxford,, i was amazed when i done the maths!

[Nights King]

Another marginal snow event for us!?

My met office app currently says heavy snow into friday morning turning to rain and then back to snow by evening.

[jethro]

My law of sods application says deep snow on Friday - my Defender is booked into the garage.....
