It came, and it went round here.

Sunday still has potential.

Somehow can't get that worried about a Winter storm called Benji

Looks to me like a non event here. Shame cause it looks like if things were slightly different we'd be seeing snow saturday night into sunday

So often the way over the years. "If only the low pressure system tracked two hundred miles to the south, we would get the snow and not rain", or "if only it was a couple of degrees c lower and this torrential rain would be a blizzard".

Settled snow in southern England is a rarity, especially since 1970 with significantly milder winters.

Snow near the south coast is a once in ten years occurance now, we never have the conditions for it as it is so warm down here. It is like a separate country, tomorrow it will be 10C here with heavy rain and 0C and heavy snow 200 miles north, same monday and weds will be 11c here , nothing at all cold here anywhere in the middle range forecasts. Europe is still very mild which is the only way we can get snow now so even an easterly would not do it. Cannot see this winter being any different to the ones from 2010 the last time we had snow

I moved back from Australia in 2011 and we've definitely had snow twice since then - once in May bizarrely

I’ve just landed in Innsbruck and its -2c with good snow, -9c in the resort we’re heading to.

A big cold blast had arrived over eastern France, Germany etc, but its bypassed SE England.

We have had no meaningful snow here for 7 years and this latest episode shows why. The south is too mild and the wind direction is 99% SW, W or NW in the winter. We never get snow from that direction. When I saw the NW winds I knew it would mean no snow here and so it has been. There really is no point in getting excited this winter unless we get a strong ne feed or an easterly only if it is cold in europe which it is not

Queensland, Australia, December, this year, now, snow joke!

 

[Frutos]

No serious snow here in Northumberland yet, just a minor dusting last week.

It certainly is bloody cold though, even to the extent that a rumour was going round that someone had been seen in Newcastle city centre with a coat on. I don't believe it myself, but who knows.

MetOffice forecast for inland and coastal Sussex on Monday, is still for solid rain, but cold.

Interesting to see if the computer might of theirs and other agencies get it wrong, and snow ends up settling.

 

[Flex Your Head]

It's rained really heavily all night, but has recently turned to snow - flumping down - and amazingly it's actually settling.
