Jan 2010 was certainly amazing. I was in Stalybridge at the time, exact same altitude as you mention above funnily enough. I measured 10 inches of snow and we also had a couple of three inch falls in Dec 09 and then 8 inches of snow from the East in Nov 2010. It was an amazing period for snow. The above is still nowhere nowhere December 1990 and February 1991 which were the best falls I have seen in my lifetime at low level. I was in the Midlands at the time. I don't have any measurements, but easily one to two foot of snow at least each time, possibly more, it was very deep.

Yeah, a week of dry weather is badly needed after the very soggy last few weeks and actually would be quite enjoyable. Great for getting out and about. As usual when a decent cold spell looms, some people in the mod thread already fretting about it being dry and little in the way of snow showing, micro analysing charts several days away.

A bright start today, then clouded in around the middle of the day with a couple of short lived showers this afternoon, but bright to end the afternoon again, so not too bad a day really, although the showers did coincide with outdoor activities this afternoon. We went to Go Ape for the first time as a birthday treat for my daughter, was great fun. Will definitely be going again.

A dry start to the day here with just a few clouds, 6.3C. A showery day is forecast, but nothing showing on the radar anywhere near here at present. It's another year that has absolutely flown by as we approach the new year. Encouraging signs of the potential for some more sustained colder conditions and risk of snow as we head through January, but some settled weather with some crisp cold days and frosty nights would also be most welcome after the wet conditions over the past few weeks.
