The first winter that I've ever experienced SAD.
I was getting more and more down due to the lack of sun, even doing the job i love, horticulture (I'm a nursery man).
So as well, for the first time this year, I've started to take vitamin D , and it's really helped a lot, and got my out of this god awful melancholy.
The irony is that the doctor a few years ago, said that I probably produce to much vitamin D , as exposure to bright sunshine would make me dizzy, nauseous and unable to get energy , so you can tell how bad this winter has been for lack of sunshine!!

Heavy rain here and temp of 3.2'c , DP of 3.2'c .... so no snow for us in this snowless winter
Midlander glad some of you had snow, here we had zero snow, which is extremely sad tbh

Penrith Snow No, you're right.
Climate change has only brought one thing to this area, a lack of weather.
This winter is the worst I've known in my 46 years on earth, literally nothing has happened of interest.
Can someone just euthanise this awful season please??

Well, if it's going to be a snowless winter, we might as well do it in style!
Seems like it's going out of its way to not snow in this particular area.

offerman Here in my part of the world, we have what the local weather fanatics call "the Gap" where any weather, of any kind ,goes to die.
It's absolutely the least snowy part of the British Isles, even Cornwall has had more snow than us the past 5 years.
We've had 1 storm in the past 12 months, no hail, no snow, one day of fog, no gales of note, no decent heatwave....nothing!
Even the rain here manages to be a disappointment.

Nothing interesting here, barely any rain, gusts in the mid 40s.
We really do live in the dead zone for weather here :-(

Why is it so easy for cold to be pushed out of the way nowadays?
In the 80s, cold blocks would put up a real fight to hold back the mild and wet weather, and we'd have snow events which would last for hours.
And sometimes the cold would win, and we'd be kept cold.
But now, it's as if all the rules have been changed.

British winters have become so tedious I now dread them because you know it will be months of rain gloom, cloud, and mild temperatures, basically one long autumn and not winter.
I agree, and I actually prefer wet and windy, because we at least get to see some 'weather'.
The one thing that climate change has achieved, is to make the weather more boring than I've ever known in my 46 years on earth.
No gales, no frosts (well hoar or rime) no snow, no fog (one foggy morning this year) no April showers (they died years ago), no thunderstorms . Just one big, long, boring period of grey and rain.
The only thing that happens now, is that 6 day intense heatwave we get every summer

"I personally think we are a long way off cold."
A comment I have seen in the model thread....... promise not to tell anyone but I want to tell you this secret... in a quiet whispering voice......its cold now......
it was colder here last week, before the 'cold spell' started.
Tonight, it's supposed to get to -5'c or -6'c, what's the betting it's too cloudy and we don't even get a ground frost?

The GFS is evil!! how can it keep doing this to us? another easterly to chase in FI, I'm sure the devil programmes their computers

We are consistently in one of the worst places in the country for snow imo. Considering the advantage of the relatively high ground around here too
IDK, around here does a lot worse. We are stuck in what people around here call "the gap" where any meaningful weather comes to die.
You watch, those showers will get to you, but fade as they approach here.....it's the law!

Oh no!! God help poor Grindavik! It's heading straight for them :-(

Well, I suppose I should look on the bright side...... now the models are showing a flat, mild southwesterly again in FI, it does give us the small chance that it could all flip around back to Baltic in the next few days?
I know that's rare, but it has happened??!
1 minute ago, I remember Atlantic 252 said:did they? though some areas had a bit on Mon 8th
Being a Midlander, I class a "dumping" as around 2mm of lying snow

Kasim will see a lot, but Midlands low levels is worst place to be, even the SE may not see much
The south east had a dumping over a week ago, my sister was in London and texted about the snow.
I got excited here at the same time, as we'd just had a light ground frost :-/
The central Midlands is the least snowy place in the UK, even Cornwall gets more than us!!

People forget the Coventry to leics to warwick Bermuda triangle even during the 2010 freeze that we managed to avoid all but 1/2cms of snow that whole time.
This coming week doesn't look great for our area as things stand but I'd say at this range the track of that low is far from nailed yet.
true! the past 5 years, we've had around 3cm of snow

We had a slack low over us in 2013 I think it was (the Midlands) there was a vast amount of weeping and wailing because all charts showed dry, they one evening persistent and heavy snow just developed right over us, from nowhere, and it snowed all night and gave us 8 inches!!
So ignore the precipitation charts for next week, they will be wrong!

I truly hope the GFS is wrong, even if we don't get the cold, what is showing in this morning's run, is storms after storms after storms in FI.
If this were to happen, this country would suffer probably the worst flooding it's seen in a generation.
I know it's only one run, but when it comes to this sort of thing, the GFS seems to always be the first to pick up on a trend.
I'd take anticyclonic gloom, but dry over what that model is showing

The FAX charts look mainly dry unfortunately. Even the Met Office site only shows cloud cover but no precipitation!
Good stuff, we'll still be able to enjoy a vast amount of freezing fog, inversions, rime/hoar frosts. That will make it look even better than a fall of snow, and with so many places flooded, we'll get the chance to go skating on frozen meadows and such :-) It'll be great, even without snow

Brilliant ecm mean..maybe the best yet!
The ECM always lags behind when it comes to downgrading.
I'll leave this malarkey and come back on Monday, if they are still downgrading, I'll save myself the bother and write it off.
I'm sure that 20 years ago, we used to have much more reliable models.....ho hum! See you Monday, have a good weekend

Always nice to see the evolution from a nice clean run setting us up for a cold spell, then the shortwaves appear and start to water everything down.
I know it's just one run, but the GFS has shown minimums of around 3-4'c in central England by around the sa
t the 13th, in central/southern England

SunSean The con trails have become a huge problem in the past few years, ruining most clear summer's days with layers of cirrostratus which makes the sun hazy and weak.
It covers the entire sky more than not, this must be having an effect on the climate?
