Autumn has well and truly blown in this week with a drop in temperatures, heavy rain and blustery conditions.
Temperatures have dropped by as much as 10C in the past week, and there has even been a warning that some parts of the UK could see snow in the coming weeks.
But despite lowering temperatures there is no mention of snow in the Met Office long range forecast.

Forecaster Aidan Givern said: "With Atlantic weather now in charge, we can expect very changeable weather through the week. There'll be wind and rain, but also showery and sunnier periods at times."
The forecast for Monday, October 4, to Wednesday, October 13, is forecasting an "unsettled period of weather" throughout the UK.
There will be showers and longer spells of rain across most of the country, with temperatures "below average".
But it adds: " During the second half of this period, indications are that drier and more settled weather may begin to develop across the south of the UK. Temperatures will probably return to near average for most areas."
There is also a forecast for the period from Thursday, October 14, to Thursday, October 28, although the forecasting service does warn that "confidence in this period is low". This is a period of time that will cover the October half-term holiday.
It does say: "The most likely outcome is for a north-south split, with low pressure and the wettest weather in the north and higher pressure and driest conditions in the south or southwest.
"Later in this period, there is the chance for settled conditions to become more widely prevalent across the UK. Temperatures are likely to be around or slightly above average."
But meteorological expert Dave told ITV's This Morning last week: "There's a snow moon on the 29th of October, followed by two more snow moons in the first three weeks of November. So it is gonna be bitterly cold and very frosty."
