The present situation is very interesting, with the threat of more heavy rain, strong winds and low pressure and an unusual track for the forthcoming Low. I don't think the SE will get a tremendous deluge, the heaviest rain being just to the west and north of the centre and the Midlands and SW are going to get more than they need again, you could say. This is typical cyclonic November weather and worthy of attention in itself. Fixation on snow is a bit childish.

Well, so did I. At the age of 11 nothing else mattered but its allure had faded well before my 21st. It disrupts my social life in a way that no other type of weather can and as for getting to and from work, well, say no more. Being retired, I haven't got that problem. Snow is meterologically interesting and is quite pretty but for me those positve aspects are decisively trumped by its disruptive nature.
