True, but that was really a question of temperature rather than
synoptic situation. The spell you refer to was very marginal indeed,
and plenty of precipitation fell, unfortunately (depending on your
views) it was of the cold wet kind rather than the fluffy white kind.
I think I got at least 25mm of rain over two days then. The current
set-up looks rather colder.


Indeed. Everything is in place. Now just give us some precipitation...
