That'll fall on deaf ears. Will is away in far off lands I believe

On the 20th there was a longish thread regarding the impending cold
spell although no talk of snow as that would be daft at this stage ;-)

What's so wonderful about snow, anyway? 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.

It makes for some very pretty landscapes, and there is something
pleasurable about the crunch crunch crunch under my feet. These days,
IMO, this doesn't compensate for its disruptive nature therefore I tend
to err on the side of hoping for no significant snow.

I don't think that "worry" is the right word for many people's reaction
on this group to the possibility of snow.

Certainly there now seems to be strong agreement between the models for
a possibly quite lengthy cold spell setting in next week.

It's probably not a good thing for me at my age and with my dodgy knees
but I like a few days of it for a change. I also appreciate the decent
light it provides and attractive scenery for my photography hobby.

Yes I'd agree there - snow's pretty and often arrives in the sort of
very dry airmasses which provide the only possible relief from one of
my pet hates - pervading, hanging-around damp - that we can get in the
dark months of the year.
Rain by contrast is disruptive but also humdrum, happening on a
regular basis with no real novelty value (unless accompanied by
thunder and/or in the form of a heavy shower after a hot day) - I find
it hard to get any interest from a day like today particularly as I'd
normally be outside enjoying the countryside on a Saturday afternoon.
Hrrmph. ;-)

Day darkness event seems to be coming in now. Looking on the bright
side, with less than a month to the solstice, there's every chance
this could well be the worst Saturday of the 2012-13 winter season.
Here's hoping...

You don't have to wait until the solstice Nick for the earliest evening
has that is on the 11th to 14th December. Having said that the latest
morning is from the 28th December to the 1st January.
