So winter has been a bit up and down here. Saturday saw 2 inches of snow, then Sunday our low was minus 8.8 going below the station record and probably the coldest temperature since 1982.
Last night (Mon/Tues) saw a band of heavy snow that looked to promise to give us a half foot dumping, seeing as the first 2 hours gave us two inches. However around midnight, temps rose slightly above freezing (dragging the Dew Points up, google if you don't understand Dew Point) and snow petered out to sleet/rain and a thaw set in.
The thaw has continued all day, leaving a soggy mess behind, and even rain has been falling threatening to wash away, what could be potentially a "White Christmas", well on the ground anyway!
Weather in the lead up to Christmas looks maybe uneventful (tomorrow nights snow looks set to stay North of the Thames) just cold with temps hovering around or just above freezing. The return to mild weather Boxing Day onwards remains to be seen, with experts saying it could go either way. If the mild air keeps getting pushed away by the locked in cold, then the cold continues into New Year and beyond. If the Atlantic wins, it could be game over for winter weather lovers.
