It's no surprise that it's gone pear shaped for low ground

With waving fronts, i'm not sure any decent cold air will reach the

The lows down here, effectively blocking the cold air from flooding

A two/three day cold snap before the mild comes again.

As with last year, Wales & The Midlands could get dumped on

Hey Blue, hold on all to play for still. 12Z GFS is very interesting,
yes marginal for ground below 200m asl in Devon, but T+132 MetO FAX
has all Britain in cold air and with waves passing to the SW, all of
Devon and Cornwall could get a dumping. A cold spell is almost certain
now, but as always, the devil is in the elusive detail. At times like
this one goes for climatology i.e. snow for Wales, Midlands northwards
and high ground in the south above 200m asl. But, ... this is
potentially a very good situation for SW'ern snow as well.

Chin up :-)

Well, I took my daughter up to Eden (£5 admission if you're Cornish)
today. Calm & sunny, sat outside with a beer & a pasty (both made in
Cornwall) soaking up the sun, dreaming of the returning summer (sun,
sea, surf, shiny happy people having fun & the rest), then you ruin my
day by threatening me with wind, sleet & misery. So if you don't mind
I'll just rework your last sentence. 'This is potentially a bl**dy
miserable situation for the SW.

Fortunately there has still been no proper cold spell down here all
winter (only 1 air frost - and that was back in November) despite the
frequent threats made by several on this newsgroup - so I live in hope
& I may even of helped redress the balance of opinion.

Only 1 frost, I think I'd hate to live in coastal Cornwall in winter,
summer would be great though!
But each to their own as you say.

To be fair I said it was potentially a good situation for SW'ern
*snow* i.e. it was not meant to be an inclusive statement. In fact a
statement of meteorological fact.

We all want different weather, and most of us snow lovers have to put
up with seemingly endless dreary (for us) mild conditions in these
modern times, so you will have to forgive us if we get a bit excited
about the prospects of getting the winter weather we crave for. Mild
weather lovers are very well catered for these days.
