It’s little like I wanted a Lego set when I was nippa, it never happened but eventually I got a top the range Scalextric set

Let’s hope we get that in January 

By the way I’ve still got it

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate sleet here.

[Kasim Awan]

1.0c dp 0.5c but annoyingly the precip is to my east.

[Georgina]

Just rain here unfortunately

[Midlands Ice Age]

Temperature still up at 5.0C here still, though falling slowly.

Weather app has it falling to 2C as the rain comes in this afternoon.

Strong and feels cold easterly setting in now.

Radar for Europe shows some snow has  now been falling in  Amsterdam/Belgium, and that is upwind right now.

Guess the colder air may clip the North of the region. So they should see something of interest later.

Anyway came on to wish all my fellow Midlanders.

MERRY CHRISTMAS  (and may we have better luck going into next year),

Merry Christmas!  Cold out there in the breeze, which is picking up a bit.   Taking the odd peek at the radar, looks like we will miss any heavy rain etc..   Too early to start on the wine??

Snowing here in Belper. Not sticking but still makes it a white Christmas if using the method of snow falling from the sky. 

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate wet snow here.
