People are reading too much into every run and the ssw, I know the majority are hoping for cold and snow (me also) but the fact of the matter is because we are an island which is dominated by the Atlantic the most likely outcome is west to east flow, with our colder periods this is abnormal for our country, some years it happens more than others and sometimes it doesn't happen at all, at the end of the day so what if it doesn't get cold for the whole of Jan if Feb is in the freezer not one of you (coldies) will complain.

I personally believe its swings and roundabouts, prior to last Winter I had four on the trot that gave me good falls of snow.

Winter and snow will come again, I am sure . People really shouldn't be surprised we are on an Island that is sat in a bath of warm water ( so to speak ) with a jet stream coming West to East, we don't really get a chance until the Jet Stream decides to something out of the norm.

Just a hunch but I feel the seasons have shifted in the last 30 years. Northern blocking in March and April when we really don't want it has become commonplace in recent years.
