Hi all
A first post from me after many winters following this fabulous forum, it really is entertaining, exciting and educational all at the same time. Thanks to all who have helped me learn so much fascinating stuff over the years.
Clearly a mix of options on the table as we get to months end, however, one way or another there are are enough signs for cold fans to be very encouraged. I think we may have to get through a mildish easterly before we see more of a N/NE opening the door for proper cold. Whatever happens it is a nice change at this time of the year not to be staring at the same zonal chart day after day. It's an intriguing set up for sure.
Also having lived in possibly the snow starved hotspot of central southern England most of the past 38 years (Weymouth, even Feb 1996 delivered a freezing, slushy, sleety mess!!) I am now stationed further east, albeit still a limpet to the tropical south coast in East Sussex. So ever so slightly, these unusual synoptics bring me a tad more hope of seeing a proper dose of the elusive white powder. Perhaps.................
