Scotland has had some snow!

Yes, but not enough to make Will move north. See video on this page.

Yet another day of tropical ****e.
Continuous rain and drizzle all day and stupidly mild at 11-12C. Poor
visibility and yet another day of drying out sodden waterproofs.
This makes 14 days of tropical rubbish and one decent day with polar air so
far. Circa 5 hours of sunshine all month and circa 280 hours of drizzle or
rain so far.

I had to cut the grass yet again today. It seems to have forgotten it
should be slowing down now it is nearly winter.

The whole cul-de-sac smelt of cut grass today as my neighbours all got
their lawn mowers out and quickly made use of the dry, bright conditions.

My overnight minimum was 14.4C! Warmer than many a summer night this
year. The temperature was 15.3C at 01:00!!

The rose in the front garden is still in full flower as are the
nasturtiums. I'm still picking chillies and the odd runner though the
tomatoes have long gone..... Still awaiting the first frost though this
year is nothing exceptional with respects to that.

Ha ha I cleared my greenhouse a week ago. Everything is bare now. Runners
have blown/rotted away. Only veg. left are now parsnips, swedes, kale and
leeks. Vile weather, grass has grown a bit but I'm buggered if I'm going to
go out in soaking horizontal drizzle to cut the blasted stuff. It's not that
long anyway, just 4 inches and it can stay that way till March now.
Remaining summer pots will be put into the conservatory tomorrow in
readiness for the return of more normal conditions.
Looking forward immensely to next weekend with snow showers and frosts, even
better when the forecast starts emphasising how much of a shock it will be.
The real shock though is how ridiculously mild it has been so far this
month.

I heard the birds singing outside in my garden today at about 4:30 when
it was almost dark. I can't remember that happening before.

Was about to start a thread when saw this. My first thought was "shock
to the system"! Not sure whether the global models are good enough yet
to pick up/develop polar low detail but I wonder whether there might be
anything in there to surprise. EC midday has a nice bracing northerly
worthy of a good coastal walk down in Whitstable.

Unlikely detail at this stage but GFS keen to accumulate some snow in
the south/south-west: http://expert-

That reminds me, I must get the 'house plants' back inside the
conservatory for the winter! The yuccas and spider plants have been
thriving outside in the humid, mild conditions.

It will be a shock to the system when the colder weather arrives; it was
quite a shock last Friday as that wind had a keen edge to it.

Unlike you Will, I quite like this weather and today was a lovely dry
day with some sunshine (albeit brief intervals) and a temperature
between 14C and 15C. A few butterflies and other insects still flying
around. The oak trees are doing their usual of keeping their leaves
until the very last minute. Not looking forward to any cold weather
(especially snow - you don't mean here do you Will?), though the extra
sunshine will be some recompense.

(18:15), 13.4C, RH 94%, DP 12.5C, 1013 hPa (F), Wind 9 mph S.
