Yup ,funny old cold spell this , my max in sunny Woodford Green ,suburban
Essex reached a tolerable 6.3c today ,and after a little rain this evening
temps are climbing again from 4.2 at 6pm to 5.2 c now ,and still rising .
Are we to look to only high ground above 200 meters and generally north of
Staffordshire ?,yes I know it snowed in parts of Essex this afternoon,but
that hardly justifies the dire warnings being bandied about at the
moment,mind Piers has decamped to the Caingorms I hear.....

I couldn't agree more Ron, today we had a sunny morning then a few heavy
snow showers this afternoon quickly followed by heavy rain soon washing away
any snow. Does a day like this really need a dire weather warning, it's
becoming silly!
Days like today are normal weather for the middle of Winter!!!!

Temperature still continues to rise up to 4.1c now
