Cyclone   10 #25 Posted December 29, 2018 I heard a less sensational report about it earlier. Sudden Stratospheric Warming is an event that often causes us to have a cold snap a few weeks later, but it's not guaranteed. Last year it did precede the large snowy storm that we had in Feb. So there is a good chance of some cold weather in approximately a fortnight, but it's not guaranteed at the moment, it could actually go the other way and lock in warmer weather for a few weeks.

Whats happened to winter, its like spring out there. It’s because I bought two setsof winter tyres for the vans, thus guaranteeing no snow this year.  Youre welcome!
