  1. Remember late April last year? That day of the Arctic plunge produced one of the best days of weather in my weather memory. It had everything- hail, sleet, snow, thunder and some beautiful cloudscapes. We've had months and months now of a mainly HP dominated weather pattern. Time for a change now.
  2. Ends with a beautiful Arctic plunge bringing snow bearing uppers Would be interesting to get something like this...just think of the convective landscapes.
  3. In spring, settled and warm is fine by me. In summer however, I just love those bands of torrential convective rain and when slack LP parks over the country promoting homegrown 'power showers' and thunderstorms. Can't beat it.
  4. Quite enjoying seeing the HP in the outlook TBH along with some pleasant warmth...if recent years are anything to go by, this should mean that summer goes wet style- which I certainly would not grumble at. However, I still have a sneaking suspicion that this will be a very warm, dry summer.
  5. Yes, just seen this https://www.quora.com/Are-people-with-dark-colored-eyes-more-sensitive-to-light-than-those-with-lighter-colored-eyes Funny as I'd always presumed my ultra dark eyes were the reason. I sometimes have to close my eyes completely when out in areas which reflect a lot of light e.g white painted buildings etc. It's quite uncomfortable really.
  6. Blue eyes handle sunlight better though. I can barely open my eyes in high summer on sunny days because of the bright sunlight...I'm forever squinting. My eyes are bordering on black they're that dark brown, so absorb more light.
  7. This. TBH i'd be all in favour of moving the clocks forward a couple of hours so that it doesn't get light until 5am at the earliest. No need for it to be light at 4am around the solstice. I'd quite happily take midnight light over (very) early morning light!
  8. Snow is snow whatever the time of year...I'll take whatever I can get whenever I can get it given the past few years... The 18z GFS looks to try to promote Greenland heights but heights remain too stubborn to our S
  9. Aye, Wilmslow now up 1C in temp and DP in the last hour as winds increase from SW
  10. I genuinely cannot remember the last time I had a decent fall of snow here. Possibly Jan 2013?
  11. Unfortunately it won't be mate. Can almost 100% guarantee that. Winds are increasing from the SW, strengthening all the time here. In the past 30 mins the temperature has risen and the windspeed too. All pushing NE. Still, nice scenes Stay up and enjoy it!
  12. That's part of the issue down this way. I can only imagine the Manchester area is experiencing evaporative cooling at the moment.
  13. I'd take a picture of my surroundings...but I don't think people want to see puddles and sopping wet surfaces Dew point almost as high as the temp here...air saturated as hell
  14. As I say I can well believe that. Extra height wouldn't make the slightest difference here. GFS sees the wind speeds pick up from here on in further N&E so only the summits and much higher elevations will be seeing snow soon I would have thought.
  15. Must be the wind that is killing the chances for us-any breeze will mix the air too much. It'll turn back to rain further N&E soon too as the wind picks up from the west.
  16. Looks like we *MAY* be about to see winter turn up as we approach mid March...about time too! Tentative suggestions at present.
  17. Strange. You could add 100m on to my elevation and I think it'd still be rain. Doesn't feel conducive to snow whatsoever. Raining in Stoke too and most of that is >100m
  18. Same set up as Dec 09, Jan 10 and Dec 10 albeit a few degrees warmer at the 850 level. Streamer piling in across Merseyside across to parts of Manchester. Nowt here.
  19. Seems to be a few ensemble members now strengthening that little low down from the NW on Tuesday. After Doris, any weakened structures will now be more susceptible to even 60 mph winds I would have thought.
  20. Well an interesting walk to work earlier. Debris everywhere, bins blown over, loads of garden fences completely blown down, bits of roof flying off... The doctors had to close for that reason. Trees down also. Wild.
  21. Can hear stuff crahing about outside now, it has really ramped up here in the last half an hour or so...
  22. After a brief downgrade on the 18z, the 0z increases gusts a tad across inland areas Perhaps reaching 70 mph inland across NW England 65-68 mph gusts showing quite widely across the N Midlands if I'm reading the legend correctly. Arome showing 65-70 mph into Cheshire
