Well Ian Ferguson has just posted this on Twitter - apologies if it is in the wrong thread:

Very windy - thunder rolling in here in Bishops Cleeve

Just driven through a heavy snow shower on the road between Stow on the Wold and Toddington. Even a bit of snow on the fence posts in Bishops Cleeve ?

My evening flight into Shannon has been cancelled.

Yes he did - spoke about SSW and the split of the vortex. He then went on to suggest a very cold end to January and for the month of February to be the same.

Sorry should have qualified that - he was talking about the South West UK

Apologies if this is in the wrong section but on Points West just now Ian Ferguson called a mild and wet December - always appreciate his forecasts.

Nice half hour of thunder and lightning here just north of Cheltenham

Hi Paul - yes I was but not now! That seems to have solved the issue. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Yes -this is still happening for me - I have tried clearing my cookies and signing out and then back in. Driving me nuts!

Lovely storm came over here earlier - looked like a strike over at Timbercombe Hill as well,.Hailstones and rolling thunder

Fantastic memories! I grew up in Swansea and remember this period of snow very well. The icey conditions were a wonder to behold and even the main roads were car free for a long time. I was working in a local hospital at the time and had to rely on the army to get me to work. I seem to remember a low night time temp of -11c being recorded at one stage.
