If it reaches zero C, I go into hibernation mode.

Getting pretty close. 3c to -3c towards the end of the week/weekend. Brrr.

I was out in a t-shirt today. Gave the tipcar/farm car a good clean inside and out then had a few beers in the sun.

I'd believe that if there was any sun today :cry:

Ah! I forget I don't have my location set. Here in SW France it was 15c and sunny for the past 2 days.

That's Aberdeen though, right? Can't be too surprising up there

Fellow OcUK weather experts, what's the required conditions for this stuff to settle?

Hopefully, but the models are all over the place. Would love some snow days.

Only if the fake snow on my christmas tree counts :cry:

Bit of snow now forecast for early hours of Monday here in Southampton, with bit of rain later and subzero temps, Shirley we'll have an ice rink on Tuesday morning.

Rroff · 30 Dec 2025 at 00:51

The forecast is quite dynamic here - keeps flitting snow and sleet and when it starts and ends. Unfortunately it isn't in scope of what I've found the more reliable models for snow like the Arpege quite yet.

Nabinium · 30 Dec 2025 at 10:10

BBC forecast has pushed snow back to later on Monday 5th overnight into Tuesday 6th... makes me doubt that we'll get any.

CaptainRAVE · 30 Dec 2025 at 10:22

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Was on the Christmas weather that one of the channel islands had snow, first time in something like 100 years.

Nice amount up in Oban apparently.
