    I thought people might like to try and identify the animal tracks, plus a distant view of Bowland and if you look carefully Black Coombe and the Coniston fells

    Didn’t start sticking here until 3am, slight covering.

    Lovely day here, if we cannot have snow then cool wintery sunshine is ideal. I also found some snow megaliths…

    Ice pellets here, like tiny hail bouncing up of the floor.

    Rain here, temperatures above freezing so a slow thaw.

    I noticed that driving into Preston the temperature rose from -4 at home to 0 going over Walton summit, it then fell again to - 4 as I entered the built up area which is not what normally happens I wonder if this could partially explain why? Coming back again it was colder in the centre of Preston then elsewhere.

    Warmer this morning -4.6, a little bit of cloud on the horizon. Also attached a photo from Monday.

    A balmy -8.5 here, but my outside sensor is sandwiched between our house and next door I suspect it is colder out in the open as we still have a complete snow cover.

    Morning walk up Great Hill

    -6.6 here at the moment.

    High seems to be -1.6 here. Hopefully current 100% snow over should last the week. Although it does mean that the road and pavements remain dodgy.

    Most cold spells tend to last about 2 weeks, I think we have done quite well for a pre Christmas cold spell. In the short term could we get a little snow tonight, I don’t think there would be any problems with it not settling.

    Nice inversion visible over White Coppice

    No but it was amazing the variation in snow cover even tiny differences in altitude made a difference. We travelled to wales over easter and there were large variations not just due to altitude for example there was no snow around Betws-y-coed but lots nearer the coast. On friday 5th april we drove back through Lllangollen and there was100% snow cover there even the pavements had a couple of foot of snow on them in places.

    I cycled up to Wall lane, Pipe Hill it is still completely blocked by snow. There is a car still there that must have been stuck for 2 weeks now!

    I measured 8 cm on what appeared to be as representative a patch of snow as possible, so I agree, but gentleshaw is much higher so i would not be surprised at higher totals there.

    3 to 4 inches here, hard to be precise because of the wind. Very wet and heavy, it will cause more physical damage than januarys snow.

    It is a problem, where I live and work (Burton) is nearer to Derbyshire and Leicestershire than say Worcestershire or Shropshire so I like to be aware of the weather in these areas. In fact it often seems that the weather in the South West of the West Midlands is more dissimilar to here that that in the East so personally I would prefer a Midlands wide region.

    I cleared my drive again, it is getting hard to find where to put all the snow, I had cleared it after friday so all new, 4 cm of fresh snow and the drive is already covered again. Still snowing here, wetter feel than friday.

    I saw a break in the clouds here, even a glimpse of blue, but someone reported rain in Derby! I remeasured the snow depth, though it has consolidated down a bit I came up with a figure of 12 cm , so I woukd be happy to quote 15 cm after it first fell.
  21. ARB
    Thats a bit worrying especially if it freezes tonight, 20 odd miles down the road here I saw a break in the clouds, I may even have seen a bit of blue!
  22. ARB
    Thanks for the info, no thawing here apart from the main roads but I haven't far to travel until I am on an A road.
  23. ARB
    What are the roads like in Leicester I am due to drive over there tomorrow? Is the council good at keeping them clear, here the side roads are usually left ungritted.

    They over estimate how dense fog is as well, however the official measurements are widely scattered and will not include areas with deeper depths. i am certain we had more snow here than in both 2009 and 2010, when we had 11cm, i measured 18cm where i judged the snow to be level and i am fairly confident that were it to be officially measured it would be at least 12cm and more likely 15cm.

    Working from home now, measured snow depth it has drifted a bit but I tried to pick as average a spot as possible, level snow equates to somewhere between 5 and 7 inches (12.5 to 18 cm) it is very powdery so it will consolidate down as time goes by but I am still impressed, and it is still snowing a little.
