Three months of it was great for children but not, i suspect, for adults ... except for the snow geeks. I wuz there.  

I am a snow addict . The child in me would like to say i wuz there for the three months of it.

 The adult side of me would probably want the snow to go after a month of driving around in it.

Not so many cars on the roads in those days. Plenty of people still used bicycles, buses and trains. And walked.  The windows inside the buses were often iced up. The wind whipped in from the beastly east, south east and north east. Take your pick! The coldest days were with a south easterly and leaden skies. The weather forecast at 5.55pm on the home service [now radio 4] quite often had warnings of moderate to heavy snowfalls in various parts of the country, or countrywide.  Totally dream weather for snow fanatics.  Here's a pic of a leaden sky in the South East [Sutton, Surrey], in Jan or Feb 1964, grabbed from the web...

GFS 12z looking very similar to the ICON, I know that many are looking out for spring like weather now and some warmth, but one more cold snap with snowfall could well be on its way after mid month just in time for EASTER.:D

It may not. The ECM seems to have the high too close by for a direct hit. Hopefully for your winter shoes sake it moves the high further north:D

He’s  already back on the other thread. I’m 75 % sure it won’t happen this time.  ?

Why do you say that? Is this because you don't want it back, or do you think things are less fabourable this time?

I’ll take cold and snow everyday of the week. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a cold shot around the 16th but nothing like we’ve just had. Hope I’m wrong and the frogs can look after themselves ?
