Depends where you live. Scotland and the high ground get more. But not where we live.

Arctic blast to hit UK as country experiences first 'taste of winter' — The Mirror
Generally, the weather will be cloudy in the South of England and there will be showers in the North on Sunday. Scotland remains the most unsettled region with windy and blustery weather conditions
This year we’re going to get hit harder.

I’ll make a snow angel for you and send you a picture. Better yet, I’ll post it on here .😁
Forget that. Find a nice big empty car park and do some donuts instead!

I’m eagerly waiting!
We live in essentially a maritime climate dominated by the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream off the West coast. Even Scotland has palm trees in the far North West (albeit only within a few hundred yards of the coast). We don’t see any of the continental extremes of weather as exemplified by a comparison of Glasgow and Moscow which are at similar latitudes...
UGH !!! TOO SOON!!! Which reminds me to make sure the snowblower is gassed up and starts . I figure that , if I'm prepared and good to go , it won't snow.

We had a snow in October, and that made it the third straight year with a measurable snowfall in the month. Some years we won’t get much at all.
Running low on stock, so here's a squirrel:

I will personally give you ten grand if that article from The Mirror comes true.
Every year the tabloids (It's usually the Express for some bizarre reason) publishes an article saying that we are going to have the coldest winter on record, with snow until late March and temperatures not getting above freezing for months on end. Then you look at the Met Office long range forecast:
UK Long Range Forecast
27th Nov to 6th Dec
Brighter, colder conditions with blustery heavy showers for the start of the period, most frequent in the northwest. Drier and more settled conditions during the latter part of the week with overnight frost and some morning fog patches. Still a chance of rain in the northwest and far southeast. Over the weekend, towards the turn of the month, the prevailing weather pattern becomes more uncertain. Outbreaks of rain and stronger winds are more likely in the north and west with drier conditions elsewhere. Temperatures near or a little below average. Into the start of December, conditions will likely become more changeable again, alternating between spells of rain with strong winds and brighter but showery interludes. The driest and brightest weather most likely in the southeast. Temperatures varying around average.
6th Dec to 20th Dec
It is likely to remain changeable through the period, resulting in a mixture of rainy, windy days and brighter, showery interludes. The northwest is expected to remain more unsettled with frequent spells of rain with a risk of gales at times. The best drier and brighter conditions during this period are most likely in the south and east, although these will still see some rain at times. It may become predominantly settled in the south, but the latter part of this period will have morning fog patches and overnight frosts becoming more prevalent. Overall temperatures will likely be close to normal for the time of the year, with an increasing chance of wintry precipitation over higher ground in the north, as is normal for the time of the year.
I don't know why they have to do it every year. It's honestly pathetic.

At least your winters aren't as long and cold than our winters in the interior of Alaska. Today, 22 November, it is relatively warm at 7 degrees F. (-13.8889 degrees Celsius), after several weeks with temperatures around -20 degrees F.. Approximately 24 inches of snow on the ground, and more to come. Our winters start somewhere around October, through April, and the snow usually melts by April, or May. By December-January temperatures of -30 degrees F. and colder are quite possible, but the coldest temperatures I have experienced are -60 to -65 degrees F. (somewhere around -55 C.), for approximately one week period.
