My dream scenario is cold really setting in a week before Christmas and last through January. Surely we are due something decent. It’s so tiring searching for scraps and ending up with a few flakes on the back end of a cold front,
We actually got very close to that in Dec 09/Jan 10
MBY got its first settling snow the Sunday before Xmas, which was added to in the subsequent days, giving around 7-8cm, which froze and lay on the ground until the 27th (the thaw actually set in on Boxing Day evening). After a week or so of milder weather, it turned cold again and heavy snow fell on the first Tuesday back (5th), giving 15-20cm widely over much of the country. From NW England northwards, the cold kept going until late Jan - we had snow lying until nearly the end of the month, and piled-up snow on car parks, etc were still slowly melting into Feb.
To get two amazing winter spells in consecutive winters was special.
