It does look like it might be a white christmas here according to metcheck. Snow forecast for the next 10 days or so on and off:

It was -3 here when I got up this morning......
You are quite right re temperatures, as soon as it hit 0 degs. it started snowing.
It the dipped a bit more and stopped. Started again when it hit 0 degrees, it's currently 0.7 and just lightly snowing with a bit of drizzle
mixed in.........

It's hit 0.9 now and the flakes are bigger.......
Following on from Flaks post......I just checked metcheck. For my postcode on Saturday, they are currently saying it is going to be -6 on Saturday,
feeling like minus13c 
What? here in the tropical south? .....
Next, they will be blaming global warming!!!!!!!!

Wrong.
If the air cools to truly frigid Arctic temperatures such as -40 C and below then the moisture capacity of the air will be so low that likely not much
snow can occur. Only at these extremely low temperatures is the phrase "it is too cold to snow" fairly valid.

It is virtually impossible for it to be too cold to snow - it is just to dry. As temperature drops, so does the amount of water vapour the air can
support. It is this which causes snow falls to diminish if temperatures drop to really low values (eg -40C).

Fozzie - it could well be global warming. Global warming/climate change doesn't mean no more cold weather, it means more extreme events, like
flash floods, snow storms, extremes of temperature etc...

Yep.......it was a tongue in cheek comment... ....but.......Did anyone see the programme presented by Tony Robinson called 'Man On
Earth' ?
I was very relieved to know that I didn't imagine my education in historical geography....
Sorry, went a bit Off Topic there.....
It is now 1 deg, and we have fine rain with the odd snow flake..........

even better was the David Attenborough programme 'How Many People Can Live on Earth'.... Very scary indeed. Climate change is the least of
our worries - we are all screwed when oil runs out, as we won't have a clue how to farm anymore!

why is that? can't we hitch up the horses to pull the ploughs?
when oil runs out, it is not just petrol/diesel engines that cannot be run but a lot of products such as plastics that are derived from oil will not
be able to be made. the former can be repalced by donkeys or electric motors, not sure how you will be able to make play stations or plastic bottles
though.

Its stopped but it did snow a little and there's thin patches of what I believe is snow on the ground. I really hate snow and I'm hopeful
it will clear up by 5am (time i go to work) but I imagine it will be worse.
