Back in early September my 7 year old son was talking about the
seasons.....his attention turned to the upcoming winter.....he said
"Daddy, when will it snow this winter?". I plucked a date out of the air
and said "14th December".

I'd forgotten all about it, and so had he....until last week my wife
announced to me that she'd written it on the calender, and has since
shown me the evidence!

All I ask is for just a few flakes on Friday in South Lincolnshire....it
all looked so promising a few days ago....

Not much chance, looking milder by then

Maybe you should have gone for February 14th

Keep your eyes peeled the next couple of days if I were you and say your

In fact I'd have a look out of the window NOW! - Although I guess that
might be rain on the radar not snow, at this stage.

Was snow up here lightly and briefly this morning.

Did you specify *where* it was going to snow on the 14th?

Spot on Dave....heavy snow started about 15 minutes ago...slight slush
on the verges, turned to a cold, heavy, sleety rain now.....

No, I didn't specify where it would snow...perhaps I could convince himn
that Copley is in Lincolnshire though.......

She's already got that one marked up. Expecting flowers or chocolates, I
suppose!
