Here in Winchester severe snowflake withdrawal syndrome(SSWS).

Not a snowflake last winter and none so far this winter.

Disappointing on the snowfall front although the snow on Saturday had the largest wet flakes I have ever seen. Also 4 cracking sunny days - 2 of which were usable at the weekend
However, much of the long range output did suggest snow over the Chilts last night although to their credit the BBC never confirmed that on any TV forecast and yesterday Stav specifically stated no snow for here.
To me this cold snap has been more like a cool snap - should we really be excited about a frost and -4c in mid January

So in summary:

As a forecast ''be aware coldest week for 2 years'' = 2/10 due to the sensationalist rubbish of pretty average winter days

A man after my own heart.

I'm going to start a Grumpy Blokes Moaning about the Weather Club. Any takers?

Isn't the post above the equivalent of going up to a suicidal person on the edge of a bridge and telling them to jump? 

Anyway, still yet to see a snowflake since March 2013. Has there ever been a winter with such a north / south divide in fortunes?

Revolting day. Showers of rain, sleet and wet snow turning the pitiful 2cm snow cover into a slushy mess. Will be a nightmare tomorrow if this all freezes

This is an embarrassingly awful cold spell for January. It's just a load of crap.

Well if the 20-25mm of rain we had this morning had been snow we would have had as much as anywhere.  

Well at least you had snow. What's the coldest temperature Aberdeen recorded>? in this so called "Coldest spell in 4 years!"

That quote is starting to bug me as it is irrelevant yet at the same time accurate because this cool spell has provided Scotland's lowest temperatures for 4 years. That is not the same as deep, prolonged widespread cold. 

It has been chilly here with some snow and quite a bit of ice in the last few days but nothing notable.

ten flakes of snow this week, no bad considering, been cold, looking forward TO the next cold spell if there is going to be another which will prob be another red herring,  

I changed the title because for Scotland and some parts it was the coldest and snowiest for several years - for instance Glasgow!? Yet for England, especially the south it was more of a cooler spell.

Horrible day today over cast and drizzle with spits of light rain followed by drizzle at +10c.

This week the cold will probably never reach the south yet again we will be let down.

And the prize for the most premature moan goes to . . . .

I certainly won't be moaning if I don't see any snow this week as I wasn't expecting any. If you raise your expectations beyond what is reasonably showing in the charts, then you are risking a fall.

Now if you want to know what disappointment is, have a look at the events surrounding the infamous 'Kettley High' fiasco.

That was the equivalent of tickling a coldie's love spuds with a feather duster, then at the last second roughly shoving the handle where the sun don't shine

Therapy has been recommended, but the sort of psychological trauma often caused by being denied snow when others are seeing it is a very specific area of expertise

We live in deepest rural France now and have just returned to the UK for a couple of weeks to visit family and friends. Watching Winterwatch on the TV the other night, it looks as though the Cairngorms got a good pasting of snow (but you would expect that wouldn't you as it's the UK's coldest and snowiest place).

As for the south of England and Hampshire and Kent, seems like it has been another bore-fest of a winter so far with no snow to speak of! These climate change winters are leading to a virtually snow less southern Britain. Shame really as Kent especially used to get awesome cold spells!

It seems like proper snow is becoming confined to higher ground in the south.

As for us in France (Charente), we got very smalll flakes of snow in the air on Christmas Day and our coldest night so far this winter has been -6.

Not really in the no snow category after witnessing a few flakes here this winter ( nothing settling ) BUT I wonder if those that still are will see some snow this week?

Meto have a yellow warning out Wednesday/Thursday for the Northern Half.

Shall have a moan  if we have no fall by middle of next week.. Will not do any good though.

Hi there. I understand what you are saying, but those winters were probably blips (particularly Dec 2010)! The general trend has been for warming and this is evidenced by 2014 being the warmest year since records began. Climate change is not linear and not every year will be progressively warmer than the last. However we moved to Kent in 2011 and despite one decent fall of snow in winter 2011/12, the rest of the winter weather has been rubbish. Kent is famed for its cold snowy winters, but it has been very disappointing since 2011/12.To me it seems likely that the south of England will have fewer and fewer full on snow events over the coming decades!

Well unless the gulf stream changes course due to climate change, then things could get interesting!

For contrast, look at the winters they are experiencing on the eastern seaboard of the USA. Proper winter weather, not the poor excuse for it we get in the south!

I've had two dustings of snow so far. That's good enough for me. If I get desperate for snow, then I hop in the car and drive to the Brecon Beacons and get my fix 

If anything comes of this next cold spell, then it will be a bonus. The best snowfall has always been unexpected by the MET Office.

Yes me - icy rain earlier/hail and t temperatures rose and it became all rain and light rain - So far - there has been nothing in Exeter, just light icy rain showers and like the last cold spell, however - Whenever the showers arrive during the night the temps rise by a degree or so leaving us with just pure rain.

Also don't forget snowfalls are more common in the Middle East than here as they don't have restrictions being in force where snow can fall and cannot fall in places.  When I see a deep LP to East of UK like now on the charts it should deliver copious amount of snow in all areas without restrictions they do in Middle East and USA but alas we get either sunny spells or wall to wall sunshine and a bit of frost. but different story in the summer time with cool boring rain showers.

Another piss poor excuse for a cool spell in these parts, a carbon copy of the no event last week with temps creeping upwards as the night goes on. We now await next weeks installment of alleged wintry weather and sub zero temps.😂😂😂

If you understood the stratosphere you'd know why. Peasants.
