Polar Maritime

But we are talking about the models picking up on a pattern change, all models have there flaws in there own unique way.

Yes Mark that's just a mile or so from me ! Snow became very heavy on one point catching lot's of people out... some had meted in the sun this afternoon but still have a covering of around 3cm here, and light snow showers started around an hour ago. Temp 0.8c Dp -0.3c Wind Chill -2.7c, S/W 7mph.

With the Atlantic starting to weaken were in a much better position for cold than we have been all Winter, as others have said.. GEM, UKMO are showing signs of a more disrupted Polar Vortex and heights pushing North, maybe we could get stuck in another type of rut for 3 months..? GFS/ECM will hopefully bring more interest this evening. Don't forget March Tim B Still have snow cover here from this afternoon..

Snow has eased here but around 1.5cm covering, overnight tonight looks much more hopefull even for lower levels.

Snow prospects have been showing in the models for the last few days with far better scope over 150m Midlands North over the next 48hrs and Friday. Already a slight covering here and snowing heavy.

Mod/Heavy wet snow falling here now, A515 is covered Buxton end. Starting to stick now with big flakes turning heavy..

Heavy sleet here with patchy slush in the fields, it's trying it's hardest to Snow.. Temp 1.8c Dp 1c Wind Chill -2.3c S/E 12mph Cat & Fiddle a few miles away is white over

Temp has dropped to -1.9c here.

NASA Mars Rover Curiosity Sees 'Evening Star' Earth Bright 'Evening Star' Seen from Mars is Earth (Annotated) This view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky Curiosity Mars Rover's First Image of Earth and Earth's Moon The two bodies in this portion of an evening-sky view by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity are Earth and Earth's moon. The rover's Mast Camera (Mastcam) imaged them in the twilight sky of Curiosity's 529th Martian day, or sol (Jan. 31, 2014). New images from NASA's Curiosity Mars rover show Earth shining brighter than any star in the Martian night sky. The rover's view of its original home planet even includes our moon, just below Earth. The images, taken about 80 minutes after sunset during the rover's 529th Martian day (Jan. 31, 2014) are available at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17936 for a broad scene of the evening sky, and at http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA17935 for a zoomed-in view of Earth and the moon. The distance between Earth and Mars when Curiosity took the photo was about 99 million miles (160 million kilometers). NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to assess ancient habitable environments and major changes in Martian environmental conditions. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/news/whatsnew/index.cfm?FuseAction=ShowNews&NewsID=1598

EMERGING SUNSPOTS: Over the weekend, active sunspots AR1967 and AR1968 rotated off the solar disk. However, the chance of flares has not decreased very much. Three new active regions have popped up to take their place: http://www.spaceweather.com/

A cold clear night with a hard ground frost. Temp -1.5c Dp -1.9c Wind Chill -1.4c S/E 3mph

Theres every chance Jesus.. Tue/Wed is looking wintry, I said earler the local Councils have been informed. Could very well be disruptive over high ground 150m +.

Lot's of scope for surprise snowfall Tue/Wed, local council has been warned here.. There does seem to be some kind of pattern change showing towards the ends of the runs, with High Pressure trying to push North, certainly something to keep an eye on but early days yet as far as the models are concerned. Something has got to give..

Wow that's something TM, the wind was howling here last night.. Also local Council received Email reg disruptive snowfall Tue/Wed for this area on Friday. I like the looks of that little Purple patch directly above us

A blustery night with heavy rain, and not much change this morning.. Temp 4.1c

Yes Bish, Rain moving in here now with winds gusting 68mph earlyer. Thanks god I don't suffer from litter round here.. I can watch mother nature in it's true form

Heavy showers with hail and gusty winds reaching 63mph. Temp 3.3c Dp 2.5c Wind Chill -0.3c, South 17mph

The earliest footprints left by humans outside Africa have been found in estuary mud in Norfolk. Described as 'the most important discovery on British shores', the 800,000-year-old footprints were found in Happisburgh after being exposed by sea tides. Scientists believe the footprints are evidence of the earliest known humans in northern Europe, previously only revealed through the discovery of animal bones and stone tools. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2553798/Earliest-human-footprints-outside-Africa-discovered-NORFOLK-800-000-year-old-imprints-shed-light-movement-ancient-ancestors.html

Another attention seeking post by Purga... BA has never called for widespred snow, nor has any other posters for that matter, only chances over high ground, and maybe evap cooling for lower levels.

Are you on horse back CH... Sleet again here earlyer, but now eased with light winds. Temp 2.6c.

Heavy Sleet here with the odd flake mixed in, Temp 1.4c.

16.2mm of rain so far today with S/W Gales touching 70 mph. Currently heavy rain and gusty winds, Temp 5.2c.
