I came out this morning full expecting to find he car iced over like yesterday but was pleasantly surprised to see it was just wet. Nice saving of 5 minutes.

My truck has had ice on it all day - even survived into the late afternoon.
EDIT: Though looking at it now it is mostly turning into water just the smallest amount of ice still in it making it look like ice. Still frost on north facing roofs though.

There is an overall trend though and its up, wouldn't be surprised if turns out to be one of the warmest winters on record following one of the highest temperatures last summer. We've had 2 frosty nights lately that makes 3 this entire winter so far. Winter ain't what it used to be.
Got down to -4.5C here last night - coldest we've had so far. Even if we get a late wintery blast it will likely be one of the milder winters on record though at this point.
I'm on the fence - most of the models aren't showing significant sub -5C 850hPa over the UK for the next couple of weeks and you rarely see significant winter weather in this country without that telegraphing it but at the same time going into Feb there is some disruption and looking like weakening polar vortex which might give us a chance at a cold shot.

Getting sick of seeing that site. Every year is the same BS, wish it would just be banned for fake news.

Yeah does my head in. Big huge catastrophic headline, followed by a dramatic opening paragraph and the in the next paragraph "snow on some northern hills" ridiculous waste of space tabloid.

Popped to West End Rd Tesco Express garage at 1400ish today for a few groceries, it was supposed to be far warmer than last few days, regretted not wearing gloves for the short 5min pootle-cycle each way... A bit nippy!

Uncanny that, must have missed you by about 45 minutes, nipped in to get some bread and milk just before 3 I reckon.

We all need OCuk ID badges on our upper outer clothing, to recognise fellow forum members in real life.
Another day of dry, dull overcast conditions at ~5C in SO18... I hope Wunderground's forecast for next week is wrong, Wednesday might be the only dry day.
Looks like a bit of transient snow passing through around the 28th - so far not looking like it will amount to much probably sleety stuff on medium high ground and maybe a bit of snow on high ground - only a very brief dip of a few hours where temperature would allow for anything else.

Yay
The model outputs aren't great for anything cold actually happening - fluctuating between intense zonal signals and some of the variation they tend to spit out around an SSW event. Frustrating when the season started with so much potential on the table compared to previous winters. (I'm still not writing off winter yet though - still plenty of chance for a late shot to develop).

I thought it was basically impossible to predict weather conditions more than 1-2 weeks ahead?
