The countdown to spring begins

BBC going for 16c in Plymouth on Monday. From winter to Spring in a matter of days!

They must be taking it from the weather warning which mentions 15 to 20cm for high ground but only a few cm of snow at lower levels

Monday 19 Dec - Wednesday 28 Dec Monday is likely to be wet to start for many, with outbreaks of rain, heavy in places, and perhaps still some snow over northern Scottish mountains. Brighter weather is expected to follow, although with showers, wintry at times, spreading from the northwest in the afternoon. Showers or longer spells of wet weather are expected to continue in the following days, perhaps with some snow at times, mainly to higher ground. For the rest of the period, confidence is low, however conditions may continue to be changeable, with the occasional wetter periods bringing rain or showers. Northern parts are likely to be most unsettled, where a risk of snow persists. Generally rather windy, although some lighter winds possible. Temperatures close to normal in the south, and rather cold in the north. Thursday 29 Dec - Thursday 12 Jan Confidence remains low for the period. Unsettled and changeable conditions could become more prevalent later in the period, bringing wetter conditions interspersed with drier spells. The most unsettled conditions are expected in the north, where snow is possible at times. Winds generally variable, with some stronger winds possible at times. Temperatures likely to remain around average, although with sporadic colder periods possible during more settled conditions. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

BBC Weather for the Week Ahead Next few days Staying cold Snow showers in north Cold and frosty night Improving visibility https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/63959636

Sunday still looks the best bet for some heavy, albeit short-lived snow, with most of it turning back to rain as the day goes on.

Sunday 18 Dec - Tuesday 27 Dec On Sunday, outbreaks of rain, sleet or snow spreading northwards. Rain, heavy and prolonged at times, will spread from the southwest, with a transient risk of snow, especially in higher areas. Most parts becoming much milder than of late by the end of the weekend. Into the start of next week, turning cooler again with showers, heavy at times, across the north and northwest and some rain in the far south. Drier, brighter conditions likely in between. The remainder of the period carries some uncertainty, but less cold and more changeable conditions seem more likely, especially in southern areas. Meanwhile, further north, we stand a greater chance of colder weather along with some wintry showers being more prevalent. Wednesday 28 Dec - Wednesday 11 Jan Conditions in late December and early January are associated with reasonable degree of uncertainty. The most likely weather pattern is one of weather systems running in from the Atlantic from time to time, bringing some wet weather and briefly milder conditions. However there will also like be some colder interludes, bringing the risk of ice, snow and overnight frosts, though at present no strong signal for any cold spell to be particularly long-lived or exceptional. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/uk

BBC showing the south back into the teens on Monday, possibly the peak of the milder air?

Tomorrow looks the best chance of catching a few snow showers as Thursday looks like it will be back to dry again with the temps edging up a bit

Currently the 'warmest' part of the day so far in Darlo with the temp hovering around -1.4c since the fog lifted

Pretty quite so far with the few wintry showers that are around are staying mostly in Scotland
