Perhaps more important is how the situation dramatically changed in mId
December to a blasting easterly finally giving the classic Christmas
snowstorm of the 20thy century.
I wonder whats the chance of an encore then ?, (or the first Christmas
forecast of this season)

There was a deep NW'ly cold plunge that November, 22-24, that brought 15cm of snow to southern Scotland. As with a lot of November snow events it didn't make it down here, just briefly turning it cooler.
The stats for Greenwich:
22nd 47.6 39.3 .013in
23rd 57.1 41.3 .015in
24th 46.9 36.4 -

It will be interesting if we get a similar brief cool plunge this month.
