I saw no snow last winter or maybe a dusting so I'm hoping this year is better but the met office long range forecast is suggesting warmer than average the next month. It certainly has been so far.
I just want snow, I way just end up flying to bardufoss make a snowman and fly home.......
I would take as much notice of a Met Office forecast as a Daily Express weather headline. Neither of them have a clue. The Met forecasts are so embarrassingly wrong that they have actually tried to purge the internet sand 'improve' their forecasts with the benefit of hindsight!!!!!!I just want snow, I way just end up flying to bardufoss make a snowman and fly home.......
There does seem to be a 'consensus' that the first few weeks of December are looking seasonably cool/frosty at the moment, but not extremely cold - with some wintery stuff possible but not widespread or significant proper snow. Mind you, all this outlook stuff can swing around in 24hours.
Right, I'm hoping all you snow-experts can help me here.
I'm currently living on the south coast of France, near Toulon, and being the massive child that I am, I've decided that it'll be a really good idea to drive somewhere snowy before christmas. I've been looking at the snow maps here http://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/static/france/6/... and comparing them with weather forecasts, but I can't seem to get any concrete information about somewhere I can drive to where there's a decent chance of there being snow.
I'm not looking for blizzards, skiing, snowboarding or anything like that, just somewhere I can go with some friends for a day or two, chuck some snowballs at each other, run around in the snow and of course drive everywhere sideways. The closer it is to Toulon, the better, although I obviously realise I'm going to have to drive for some hours to get anywhere.
Any ideas?

Certainly no sign of snow down here in Guernsey at the moment - fairly drab overcast day with a cold north easterly. However Saturday was absolutely glorious, probably one of the warmest November days we've had - genuinely shorts and t-shirt weather. Spent the day driving the SC with the roof off.

6°C this morning when I got up at 05.30, not even cold. I spent yesterday doing chores outside with nothing heavier on top than a t-shirt.
I'm not expecting to be building a snowman this year, that's for sure.
That's the thing about our weather it changes and the meteorological winter only started today.I'm not expecting to be building a snowman this year, that's for sure.
