Does this ng provide a counselling service for all those poor snow
lovers?

Just lay back and think of Spring.

Nice one Lawrence, top song and sums it up perfectly, I think it is over

To be honest I'm hoping it is!!!

It's been one of the best cold spells for years without a doubt but apart
from a few chosen locations the areas of snow have been a let down!

This thing coming up from the south west will probably gives us a dusting if
we are lucky and when it's out of the way I'm hoping it will warm up a
little.
I work outside now and it's been damn cold, don't mind putting up with the
severe cold if we managed a few heavy snowfalls once in a while, but 5 to 6
cm falls is about the best we've done, despite being quite high.

I'm hoping for some dry and milder weather for a while now with some
sunshine again, haven't seen the sun for three days!

Almost the whole country had snow. I don't understand your comment.

I think that it's more the other way around, that a few unfortunate
locations have been short changed. Unfortunately you, Lawrence and Keith
happen to live in three of the unlucky areas. East Anglia, parts of the
Midlands, and SE England to the east of (and including) London
apparently haven't had much. But pretty much the whole of southern
England west of London, parts of Wales, and most of northern England,
Scotland and Northern Ireland seem to have done well.

I suppose the silver lining in the Atlantic clouds is that winters
with a cold first half and mild second half tend to have much more
reliable spring/summers than those which stay cold into the second
half of winter, i.e late Jan/Feb. In my lifetime, those winters which
had significant mild spells late in the winter i.e. 1981/82, 1996/97
and 2008/9 had half-decent springs/summers, while long late cold
spells, developing in Jan and sticking around into Feb, such as
1985-87 and also apparently 1979 and 1963, tended to have pretty
rubbish spring/summers.

So maybe on reflection it's best to grit one's teeth for the next few
weeks of dark evenings, short days and a lack of snow cover (though
maybe the wind will be south-easterly enough to preserve it....), in
the hope that the spring and summer will be better....

Epping - East Anglia? east of London?

This winter 17 days snow falling, 15 days complete cover at 0900 and it's
still there, max depth 12cm and it's only mid January. Likely to be one of
the more impressive winters of my league table (since 1979). Update daily on

We've had 18 days snow falling, 18 days snow lying this winter so far and
have 6 cms lying now.
What I was trying to say is most places while having widespread snow haven't
had big falls of 15 cms or more!

No complaints here in Wanstead, East London. I recorded my 7th
straight day of snow lying this morning - it was down to 2cm so maybe
won't be much left tomorrow.

OK. It was very much a generalisation, and I knew that there were
bound to be a few inaccuracies. I was perhaps over-influenced by the
fact that most of our Essex correspondents seem to live close to the
coast.
