Well the only snow left now is the piled up snow from clearing the driveway. Temp 5c and drizzle ?

yes, here too, and remains of snowmen, cold shot was over here yesterday morning, now I don't really expect anymore cold/snow until next Dec

[Polar Maritime]

I still have a snow patch in the garden ☺ with snow shadows remaining under the walls and deep hollows.

Around 30% cover on East facing slopes behind me with only an 80m higher altitude.

Yep, I will be lucky to see snow again this winter, but you never know ?

we've had a good winter though, very good spell, no big deal of course in 90's, as it would be the norm, and through Jan-Mar

[Fozfoster]

I remember some pretty cold and snowy weather in the early 80s. One of which stayed cold and frosty until March, can’t think what year tho. 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Normal Dec weather now, feels balmy, warm 8.5C, used to these temps though over last 18 years

It could have been any of the years between 1984 and 1987 all of which had cold and quite snowy Marches after cold spells during the winter ( at least they did here, and particularly when compared to recent winters)

50% snow cover finally lost here by early afternoon as the temperature rose steadily. It's been a reasonable spell though with 10 consecutive mornings with lying snow ( 50% cover or more ) at 0900, the most in December since 2010.

pre TMW days ruled! winters of today suck

[Fozfoster]

I’m hoping this winter could be a winter of old.  But probably not ?

[I remember Atlantic 252]

February in the christmas pudding is pathetic

[Fozfoster]

Still 3or 4 small piles of snow this morning ?

[Midlands Ice Age]

Morning guys..

Widespread ground frost with a minimum of 0.9C,after a short lived max of 9.1C yesterday.

Fog beginning to form now with a temperature of 2.0C.

No snow left except for the snowman and the piles.

still cool, real warm due around Boxing Day, up to then looks decent, and not too wet

[MattStoke]

Surprisingly, there are still patches of ice and snow near my house. It's quite mild, dull, grey, damp and foggy.

[Fozfoster]

Foggy 2.5c and still got snow piles!!! Lol?

Not a night to be travelling in around here.

Mine too.

He is only about18 inches tall and looks like a volcano now, I was going to call him Mr Blobby, but the grandkids objected .

Care to justify that assumption? I feel it is perfectly reasonable to suggest we will see more snow before the winter is up. We have all of Jan,Feb and March still to come. It would be ludicrous to write them all off already.

[Fozfoster]

Still got some piles.......just. Still feeling cold out there. 

[Terminal Moraine]

Still patches of snow lying in the shade here despite a max' of 8.1c today. If local folklore is to be believed it's a sure sign there'll be some more to 'fetch the bones'

good chance for you looking at models, mountain snow looks possible after Boxing Day

[nobble]

Snowblob is hanging on for deer life .....

a few patches here and there too 

[I remember Atlantic 252]

few around here as well, remains of snowmen,
