Happy New Year!

I hope you had a relaxing Christmas and New Year and all the very best for 2026.

I am pleased to say that the merger of my business, Wanstall Consulting, with ProTrust Consulting Ltd, where I am now working alongside my long-time colleague and friend, Robert Cartmell, and colleagues, has gone very well.

The merger means that there is continuity for clients, and I will continue to operate in the same way as before – same person, same advice, same way of working – just under a different name!

Here's an informative post from Harry at The Chilterns Weather Alerts on Elevation and Snow!

Elevation and Snow! ❄️

The Chiltern Hills can influence local snow patterns because they form a band of higher ground across southeast England. When cold air moves over the region, the hills can force the air to rise. As the air rises, it cools, which can increase the chances of precipitation falling as snow—especially when temperatures are already near freezing.

The hills can also create small microclimates. Higher elevations in the Chilterns are usually a little colder than the surrounding lowlands, so snow may settle more easily and last longer there. Meanwhile, sheltered valleys may experience less wind and slightly different snowfall patterns. Overall, the Chiltern Hills don’t create snow, but they can enhance, focus, or slightly prolong snowy conditions compared with nearby flatter areas. ❄️

The highest point of the Chilterns is called Haddington Hill which is 267 meters above sea level, the second highest is Wendover woods, Coombe Hill and so on. The snow always falls better and settles easier around these hills and the villages in-between such as Wendober, Amersham, Chesham, Tring, Berkhamsted etc.

Aylesbury is around 72 meters above sea level and the temperatures are always around 1-1.5° higher than the Chiltern hills. This can cause significant effects on whether it will be snow or rain.

I do think… the Chiltern hills will see a good covering Friday morning… but let’s firm up the charts later on!
