As much as I want a little bit of snow, I really think we're missing out on those cold, crisp, clear dark evenings, and even half a week of that would be lovely right now, we've had over 100mm of rain so far this month, and only one totally dry day (1st).

Really looking forward to a bit of rain just to water things naturally however after weeks without rain all we've had this week is a couple of dampen the ground showers and looking at forecasts we'll miss most of any proper rain in the coming days too.
Rain has become the new snow recently, everywhere else but here, and don't even get me started with thunderstorms

1978.
Nothing remotely close to it since.
even further back than my location, 1982 here, looking a photographs taken back then and some new archives, it was pretty special, I have recollections of 1987/1991 but I doubt that was a foot, been a decade since the last proper covering of all surfaces with an inch of snow.

It's an ice rink out there this morning
Yip, not nice out there, very similar to that Sunday back in December, oddly just outside of the warning for ice, although the Met Office has this area in one for this evening and overnight, should have had one for this morning though

I suspect nothing much will happen here, I always compare these type of setups to the 9/10th February 1999, and apart from a few results during the 00's it been very underwhelming since.
However I'll probably be happy if I see a few flurries

Merry Christmas all. Heavy showers and thunderstorms is the theme here. Far from cold and snow
Nature's fireworks this Saturday, actual fireworks next Saturday, be interesting if we get anymore storms tonight, if we do everyone will be stirring even the

woken up to -7°c on the thermometer, incredibly rare these days to get that low, must be at least a decade since we've seen it this cold here, looking like it'll be nearly 20° warmer on Sunday night

Further showers here. Been a mix of rain and hail. No snow at all ....untreated roads are quite a mess...very icy
same here although thermometer is showing -1, roads are going to be a nightmare for anyone travelling especially with days of frost on sheltered paths and roads.

Same here. Only -0.1, but enough to make the garden look a bit wintry.
after all the rain, it was nice to see a frost, -0.2°c was the low yesterday morning, mixed day today, started with blue sky then within an hour it was pretty dark and lashing it down.

This couldnt be any more inaccurate if it tried
Think they got it a little correct, few flashes and rumbles now rolling up over the Gower.

Thick blanket of cloud is limiting shower development here in Wales. There were some heavy showers just off gower earlier but they have moved out to sea
starting to see something happen now

spells of drizzle and low misty cloud, temperature at 18°c

Don't think I've enjoyed watching rain and drizzle out the window for a long time, great seeing the blackbirds and the song thrush hopping about the grass in the rain.
A bit more rain or showers tomorrow before a settled spell until Friday .

plenty of the wet stuff falling around here today, typical really that now the cold has gone, heavy precipitation knows where Swansea is again

have a feeling we'll see more showers in my neck of the woods this evening, but if we do, will they be snow?
