With conditions “set to deteriorate quickly,” the chances of a white winter have picked up for the UK.

“Frequent cold and above-average snow levels will soon hit the UK and Ireland,” warns Long Range weather forecaster James Madden. “It is therefore a logical conclusion that snowfall or temperature records could be broken within this defined time frame, or for the winter as a whole.”

“We can expect to be hurled into the full throws (sic) of real winter within weeks.”

“Snow will continue to affect Scotland and become more widespread within this region as we head into next week, with an increasing possibility of snow to lower parts of the UK and Ireland,” says Madden.

“The remainder of December as a whole is likely to feature largely below-average temperatures, with deep widespread snow accumulations across many parts of the UK and Ireland.”

What's the attitude for?

We're only implying that he's like a broken record,there is no malice toward you personally whatsoever.
I would like him to be right but simply can't see it.:)

Especially given his fiasco of a forecast for oct and nov.

I agree, no malice towards you.
But if it doesn't snow, we'll come looking for you....

It looks good for the first cold phase of the season next weekend and into next week. Wintry showers (sleet or snow to low levels at times inland) and frost/icy patches in the midlands and east of the country. Also it's a situation where I suspect there will be upgrades for the depth and longevity of the cold spell over the next few days. It's still a good bit out so little point in going into detail about it just yet but watch this space. Things are about to get interesting.;)

Interesting glance back at last year's November :

http://www.met.ie/climate-ireland/weather-events/ColdSpell10.pdf

1st to 18th: A period of very unsettled weather, as a series of deep depressions moved quickly eastwards close to or over Ireland. These produced spells of rain or showers each day, together with stormy weather at times, resulting in very high seas on western coasts. The heaviest rain fell over the west of the country, where some falls were thundery and accompanied by hail. Temperatures were above normal with infrequent air frost; the first four days of the month were particularly mild for November. After a very dull start, the period around mid-month was relatively sunny.

19th to 26th: Pressure rose over Ireland as an anticyclone developed in mid-Atlantic. Winds veered to a north or northeasterly direction, bringing progressively colder conditions, with frost becoming
widespread. Rainfall amounts in most inland and southern areas were small, but showers were frequent in coastal areas and were heavy near the east coast on the 22nd. Most days during this period were sunny.

27th to 30th: As the anticyclone shifted to the far northwest of Ireland, a bitterly cold northeasterly airstream brought a sharp drop in temperatures across the country. Wintry showers, initially in coastal areas of the east and northwest, became more widespread during the period, resulting in accumulations of snow over most of the country. Showers were thundery at times in eastern areas. Exceptionally low air and ground temperatures were measured in Leinster on the 28th and 29th, but severe frost was widespread, with freezing fog in places

Great News, there's hope peeps!

Hi Winter people!
I've finally caught up with this thread! I've heard no mention of the Maunder Minimum. Can I ask are we in it? Or perceived to be in it? Or what is happening with sunspot activity?
I understand from last year that sunspot activity effects the global temps and potential for snow.
It has also been said on this thread that the NAO is positive at the moment. Is there a chance it could turn negative? Also is the NAO connected with sunspot activity?

Sorry if this is off topic. The reason I ask these questions is purely in relation to snow potential

Just been out for a walk in Lucan, definitely a lot colder now, no sign of the unseasonably mild weather we have had all month...
