This is becoming quite a winter in Scotland and parts of northern England!
As I said a few days ago this winter is going to be so memorable, even in
the south of England - in a few days time.

Thanks for all your reports, keep 'em comin, I'm envious of your
conditions but my turn will come, it always does.

Not that I want it too Will, but where or when will it end?
With the models running with very cold conditions for at least another 10
days, 4 weeks of lying snow seems a near certainty - I have no idea the last
time that happened in the central lowlands... February 1947 or January 1940
perhaps? And who knows how the second half of January and February could
turn out....
Dare I say it, but it could potentially be the coldest and snowiest winter
here in anyone's lifetime. 78/79 was probably the coldest/snowiest (+0.5ºC)
in my lifetime and even with average temperatures from Mid January onwards
this winter will rival it. Currently -0.2ºC for December and the first 2
days of January.

And currently 11 inches of snow in the untrampled parts of the back garden.

And your time will come, you know better than most.
