somthing we had for the last few days would do me for the festive period!

I agree, very pretty to look at and not quite so troublesome as a few inches of snow. Providing the roads are gritted of course.

A look at the next 5-6 days using tonight's model output:

After a frost during the first half of the night, milder air will filter into the region during the early hours with an increasing breeze. A band of rain will cross the region during the course of tomorrow, with some gusty winds up to 50-60mph particularly on the south coast, as represented by the tightness of the isobars on these charts:

Rainfall will be a feature of tomorrow, predicted totals by GFS 12z up to 00:00 Saturday:

And NAE 12z:

Highest rainfall totals likely across the south coast tomorrow.

Temperatures much milder than of late, maximum temperatures 9-11C.

Over the weekend, still quite windy for all. Both days will have some showers, heavy at times though some may get away with a dry weekend, with some sunny spells. Temperatures maxing out at 7-9C on both days over the weekend, though both nights will remain frost-free due to the overcast conditions.

Into the new week, turning less windy and most likely a couple more dry days Monday and Tuesday with a weak ridge of HP building in:

Frost increasingly likely again overnight with temperatures during the day between 5-8C with sunny spells.

Going further ahead, the models diverge with different solutions past T+120, dependant on the track of the low out in the mid-Atlantic, which could provide some interesting synoptics on the models in future runs as shown by tonight's output.

At least this *New* Cold trend is showing 120rs+, a lot earlier than the last fiasco.
