The official winter 2015/2016 snow thread. (Ahem...)
Discussion
Right, time of the year to kick this off again. It may be a bit early, but I've noticed a distinct change in the weather over the last few days. Autumn seems to be approaching.
What are the forecasts for this year? Are we looking at a bad winter, or just another annoying warm(ish), windy and sloppy affair? Or am I jumping the gun and we won't know for a while yet?
Snow on the way?

Way too early, last year the first snow at my house was in 20 days time equivalent! Not even any snow on higher ground yet here. But have to agree with the OP, last 2 days have the feel of autumn/ winter coming soon.
Indeed. There has been a change to the weather in the mornings. I'm also noticing a bit more of a chill in the air on my bicycle.Puggit said:
Keeping an eye on a storm system around the Channel Islands/Cherbourg peninsular that's heading North. Looks like it's slowly breaking up, but could turn nasty again.
I've ditched the summer thread - none of that happening again this year!
What is going on with that? Met Office are saying it's going to hit East Anglia a bit, but Net Weather haven't even acknowledged it. I've ditched the summer thread - none of that happening again this year!

If you look at the rain radar you can clearly see the 'eye' of the system passing NNE over Normandy. Definitely looks like that will travel towards EA. But the messy bit is on the NW flank, so likely to effect Hants/Sussex first. Puggit said:
Read comments above - signs are favourable but certainly nothing on the horizon at the moment. In fact many models are picking up likelihood of storms (windy rainy, autumnal type) next week.
Ball ache! I hate it when the wind comes. We live opposite fields and it whallops the front of our house.

Things to remain unseasonably warm and pleasant for the time being. No sign of wintry weather, and precious little autumnal weather!
That's a good thing. Isn't it? It was light enough for a trip to work without the headlights this morning. We've also been able to use the central heating as and when required, rather than having it on full blast. Nice change.
