After several boring, virtually snowless winters in a row down here it's about time we had something interesting!
That said, I remember all the excitement last year with the snowcover watch to the east (albeit not as exciting as the October index thingy a few years back) - I remember the cold setting in over to the NE and of course it all got swept away.
I'll be keeping an eye out for an easterly this year, as ever. As you'll recall, I made a long post last winter two winters ago about the "death of the midwinter easterly". I'd love nothing more than to have to rewrite that after this winter!

was the link, in case anyone is interested. It fits in with the "modern winter" stuff (which really winds some people up, for reasons I've never really worked out - something has changed since 2005, IMO, if not earlier).
