Snow fell on the Mendips this afternoon.. Mr Fergusson said so. Only had hail here..... 

Still no signs of anything to end the unrelenting horror-show that December has been so far. 

It is beyond tedious. Windy and/or cloudy constantly ensuring we can't even get a frost. Just had yet another disgustingly mild night with temps up to 10C and not only is it 2 weeks since the last frost but 2 weeks since the colder than average min. No end in sight to this appalling run with another mild min forecast tonight

Yet again I’m hearing the vile wind rattling away outside. Can’t recall the last time the wind even dropped light never mind calm. It’s just an awful month and having just seen the forecast for Monday looks set to get even worse. For the 2nd year in a row people look set to have their Christmas ruined by floods

It’s desperately poor when you can’t even get one day respite of calm frosty conditions and it is just unpleasant all the time

Totally agree with you Richard!! Has been a horror show of a winter so far down in the south east, just totally and utterly awful. Mild temperatures, limited frosts, not even a flake of snow!! Yet people on here are constantly defending this type of weather, trying to pass it off as not too bad or normal for the time of year???

I detest Xmas at the best of times, but this horrible mild conveyor belt of raging westerlies driven along by a relentless jet stream is enough to make hibernation till spring an appealing option!! Truely hateful weather and for those of you whose hearts are not diminished by this sort of constant foul onslaught, then I have NO understanding of your head space. Maybe my past battles with depression make me susceptable to feeling down during this type of weather. I.e lack of sun; lack of brightness?

There is an official reading of a 64 mph gust over the Eastern side of Kent last night - but seriously, just what IS it with stormy winds and the middle of the night?! And now there is the threat of flooding for parts of Kent today as rivers are already swollen up enough as it were.
  I'm almost missing that quiet and dry winter we had a couple of years ago. If anything - and I never thought I'd hear myself say this - but I actually can't wait for that first bit of summer-like weather . . . assuming it doesn't go along in the same fashion as last year (remember how it took forever to get going last year at this end).
  Never will I moan about our "boring Kent" climate again, I get the message that we can actually do proper weather after all.

Another day of rain and winds.. Why does it have to start when going to bed.. Not having a nice day with visitors coming from Coventry...

Best time to have it, surely? Yesterday was a glorious sunny frosty day, so we could get out for a decent walk, then the rain and wind arrived overnight when we were tucked up in bed. Lovely and cosy listening to the rain and wind lashing outside while you're inside in the warm.

Surely this thread needs reviving? It is disgusting outside! Lashing rain, wind, greyness, saturated ground, flooded fields and river valleys! Is this the winter weather we are going to have to put up with all the way throught till spring? To me this winter is turning into one of the worst since those horrible non events we had in the 2000's!!

Meanwhile the USA has record cold and snowfall, yet we are battered by the filfthy jet stream, day after day, after day, ad finitum!!

Where the bloody hell is Winter, feels like we have had 3 Autumns so far!!!!

I know, there are some weird people in Coventry.

Never mind the wind and rain ...Where is the white stuff.. Even frost would be welcome now..

I've had a few frosts so far but no sustained cold. The attempt at sleet on xmas day evening was the only white stuff I've seen apart from hail. It doesn't really seem like a winter at all tbh

Daytime temps 5-10c nightime temps  4-7c constantly windy wet, the odd day when its grey and miserable. Horrid weather, very unseasonal and fast running out of weeks to get some decent cold crisp weather as it always seems to be pushed further and further back and downgraded. Winter just hasnt turned up.

Could do with clear nights  or no gusts about. Decent nights sleep is required...

Right this thread should come into its own now with the prospect of a (south) easterly at hand.

Dull and drizzly, with the temp stuck on +3c by day and night. Can't wait. 

Just right for Saturday night....Gets rid of the stuff we have been having...
