It's snowed on four of the last five days here and more is forecast for
tomorrow night and Thursday morning. So potentially snow on six out of
seven
days this week. The mean temperature for the last five days is sub zero
here. By any stretch of the imagination it's not mild. In fact I think
it's
both colder and snowier than the GFS or met office forecast for this time
7
days ago.
The suckers gap never really existed except in the permanent search for a
siberian easterly forecast 7 days in advance.
I'm not sure whether people are trying to see 2 weeks in advance or
beyond
the edge of their nose sometimes.

Alex, somewhere up north.- Hide quoted text -

Hi, Alex,
Same here, they do make me smile sometimes.

Copley - not so far north but far enough, thank goodness!

The Atlantic gives me more snow than any easterly usually.
Even in the last spell the easterly delivered only 7-8cm whereas as soon as
the Atlantic air started to move in we got 22cm. The snow does last longer
in easterlies though admittedly.

At least being out west I can rotate the map and pretend that west is the
new north especially as it is uphill to my house as well!
