snow freak

believe me your not missing much

glad you got the snow this time, 12 months since we had anything decent here...oh well theres always next year

this winter has failed to deliver on so many occasions. i love winter but this one has me defeated. Bring on the summer. at least we can guarantee some sun and warmth whereas in the winter any resemblance of cold and snow is something rare. definately going somewhere cold and snowy for my hols next winter. Britain is just not the place for cold and snow and its only going to get worse.

i really am sick of this country when we clasp at the slightest chance of any snowfall throughout the winter. for gods sake even jerusalem in the middle east has more snow than us. damn the gulf stream to hell.

how have you got snow if you're in leicester, the radar doesnt even show snow over you. it shows it over us in northampton but we have zilch. what the heck is going on?

it might have delivered for you (which is good) but the rest of the UK this winter has been absolute pants

i hate the current graphics for weather forecasting, its impossible to differentiate between clouds and snow. bring back the stick on symbols anyday.

glad you got snow. make the most of it. from my years of living in wales the snow never lasts long. Be gone by tomorrow afternoon from my experiences.

even closer to northampton....and we aint got nothing yet. all the years i lived in wales and had sod all snow and then i move to east midlands and the lack of snow follows me. i'm cursed.

i couldn't agree with you more. This winter (and even the usual UK winters) are enough to make anyone give up and go insane. Next winter i am definately having a holiday in the snow (somewhere that it is more or less guaranteed.

Well this winter has been dreadful for most of the country and especially here in the east midlands. Not even had that many frosts compared to normal years and as for snowfall...........! And it looks like today's snow will hardly touch us neither. Absolute dross of a winter.

its always background signals. knowing our luck everything will finally fall into place......in April...and all we will get is cold rain and people saying if only this had happened in February. well i don't want it in April. This country sucks for any decent winter weather.

well bring on global warming so that it shuts the gulf stream down thats what i say

this country really is crap when it comes to snow, if we are so desperate for even a few cms of snow each winter. Even the middle east has more snow than we do.

i agree, its got worse. needs to move further north and east

im not. hardly anything in east midlands going by that chart

well that was an event....not. just about sums up this winter in a nutshell really. Complete non starter.

it was the netweather forecast actually

you're virtually snowed in then

so much for all the forecasts earlier in the winter saying we would have a very cold and snowy second half of winter. what lies.

only if the lakes havent frozen over. Once they do that during the winter the lake effect snow is cut off. They usually get lake effect snow earlier in their winters rather than later on.

the phrase 'clutching at straws' springs to mind.

even patience has its limit and this winter has lost mine. Anyone who says we need patience one more time....... lets face it this winter has been dreadful in every respect....even for this poxy little island of ours.

i certainly hope you are right. although anything beyond 150 hrs is wishful thinking as far as the models go usually.

This winter is fast becoming one of the worst for many years in terms of cold and snow and all the chart and model watching seem to be a complete waste of time as they constantly change their tune. Yes i know what is because the weather is constantly changing and nothing is guaranteed, but if that is the case then why even bother with models in the first place then. Might as well just stick our heads out of the windows and see what the weather is doing instead. I doubt this winter will be one to remember with regards to cold and snow. Those winters are fast becoming a rarity and will become even more so in the future.
