I'm almost in Surrey (north Sussex) and there's no mention of snow until the 19th - though it's hard to be accurate so far ahead.  Also, daytime temperatures staing above zero till 19th as well (forecast doesn't go any further.

I wonder how much guesswork goes into this if two sites are saying different things.
It may even be the height above sea level making a difference because  the North Downs might make a difference.  I live on the plain.

That's because metcheck is absolute rubbish.
It's been a million miles off for the last few months or so.

-10 last week apparently. (when it was -1...) ::)

OK lets all go outside at 7pm and face east, inhale turn west and exhale, 20 times should do it. Lets suck and blow the high pressure system to Moscow  :D

I use this website and it's pretty accurate. Just type in your postcode for a 2 week weather watch.

In the summer you will look back and see this winter as a pin prick in your mind.  ;)
