Due to the upcoming stong el nino, it seems as if theres decent possibility for snow round the uk with a medium chance of a historical snow event such as the Beast From The East or even a winter like the one in 2009/2010. It would still be foolish to expect these things to happen though and there's still a decent chance of us getting a quite poor winter like the ones we've been getting the last few years.

One for you snow lovers down south. Back in time, 30th December 1908, location Arundel, West Sussex. Classic snow chart that.

Another picture of the Arundel snow taken in Dec 1908. Going by the man with the spade at the top , looks like the snowfall was pretty deep.

The winter fun is starting, with random UKsnow headlines.

There are signs of snow over the tops of the Scottish mountains on Sunday, for the Grampians.

Also perhaps a showery easterly flow later next week, early November with more sleet and snow showers over the mountain tops. Not much more at this stage. Not the whiteout shown in the photos below. 

It will be November, winter is coming.

While we are awaiting #StormCiaran from the SW tonight, there is #UKsnow over the mountains of Scotland. It was cold and clear for a time overnight, down to -5.5C. More rain for the areas hit by flooding in Babet (red triangles) and high lee gusts in the brisk easterly wind. The rainband is edging northwards today, so a bit of #snow for the NW Highland tops but more rain showers from the south.

Scared to post anything at the moment in case it jinxes the whole situation. Also limiting myself to short bursts of model thread as it’s a bit too like a seesaw in there for my liking 

[carinthian]

Surprised no one’s posted yet about the snow this weekend north of the border.  Daughter had snow on Saturday in Livingston and I got my first proper dusting in Aberdeenshire on Sunday afternoon.

Well this picture might cheer you up. Tromso shopping centre in Norway. Note how they treat their snow with some love and respect. No crappy salt grit to flush it away. Back in Britain the streets are laden with the stuff at the first sign of snowflakes  ( if you get any ) Preserve I say and NO TO SALT !
