Just about 3 -SHRASN showers at West Drayton today, so nothing really
wintry. Driving home, I saw some patchy snow on the North facing North
Downs, with some snow in the long grass so, there has been some real
stuff
here. I suppose overall I have been a little disappointed in amounts
compared to the forecast - but in reality its been too warm.

No snow here in Warlingham, 556 ft, on the Downs, but some very
light rain mid-evening.

Before Global
warming we would have had a cover I'm sure......

Don't be so sure. I can remember numerous similar synoptic
setups in the 60's and 70's which brought no snow. Like this one, they
were quite persistent. The current High is in just about the most
boring possible place, not cold enough to be interesting and not mild
enough to be pleasant. The only interesting thing is the central
pressure, which may reach 1050 mb.
