Default Discussion on our upcoming cold spell

You not even had any sleet Jon?

2007 has been a very poor year for snow falling up here too,
just 11 days of snow falling and 2 days snow lying, locals cannot recall

ever
seeing such a lack of snow in Haytor. Second consecutive December with no

snow
falling, just 2 days of sleet this year which I don't count. Synoptics

have been
very bad with incessant southwesterlies and few cold northwesterlies which
always give snow up here in winter.

2005 was the best year since I came here in 2002 with 22 days snow falling

and
10 days snow lying 50% cover.

Not as far a as I know, Will. Good chance we might get something this
Thursday though.

Jon.
