Might need that wheelbarrow of salt for the paths/driveway going by what that site said

We can’t accurately forecast the next hour in the UK.

Would love to do this but bet it's a few bob. We went to Lapland a few Christmases ago. The first time going on a "cold" holiday and I loved every minute of it. Broke the bank a bit though.Thats the primary reason why 15 years ago we decided to spend every December/Christmas/New Year in Canada, we simply got fed up of throwing back the curtains on Christmas morning and it basically looking like a rainy October day outside. We decided right then, from now on, every year will be Canada so that we can have a Christmas that actually looks like the Christmasses that tv adverts and movies are always thrusting at us

Did anyone watch the first ever Top Gear shown the other day?
Broadcast in April 1977 and one segment showed them driving through a blizzard.
Those were the winters we used to get, just a distant memory now.

Yeah its a several thousand in total each December but its worth it. Not missed a year for 15 years now (except the Covid years when travel wasnt possible, and that was hell, being consigned to a UK Christmas , gah ! )

Heating ain't even kicked in tonight! This seems crazy mild for this time of year. Forecast for next week seems the same.

Supposedly a crazy 17/18C out there in Hampshire, trying to coax myself out for my first outdoor ride in weeks.

It might be quite mild again in Southampton , but the wind is a bit gusty and it's damp out there.

Just been for a walk on the coast at Bolton le Sands. A very high tide and very choppy due to the wind. Sunshine and mild, though, at 15c

I read that this storm absolutely battered Ireland and Scotland as it came across but you wouldn't have a clue if you looked at the BBC website. If this was hitting the south it would be wall to wall coverage.

Still thinking this is going to be a cold winter, or atleast we are going to have one hell of a cold snap at some point compare to last year.
Far more rain ( Slower moving ), low pressures a lot further north, not your usual low after low going from south west to north east.

There are articles on the BBC site but because nobody called the storm gay it didn't make the front page, but I digress.
It was quite wild here with the trees taking a battering and now leaves everywhere, lots of leaves...

Meanwhile, on the BBC News front page:
I wouldn’t bother, they can’t read up north.

I think snow to low lying areas is going to be pretty rare now
