-3.7C here. Absolutely Baltic in that wind. Possibly one of the coldest winds I've felt.
-
-3C and no frost, feels strange. Doesn't feel as cold because there's no air frost either.

Coldest minima winter 2020-2021 season
Eskimo replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Do you have the website that shows this, please? -
Whilst the surface will stay very cold, we start to say goodbye to the bitterly cold upper air from tomorrow.
-
I can understand the frustration - our Winters are very short, any cold spells are infrequent and comparatively weak (excluding the obvious exceptions) and we never know with any degree of certainty if/when the next one will come along. In fact, it's so uncertain that we can go years without seeing a single flake of snow. It is frustrating. The aggression towards people over something no one has any control over, is slightly concerning though.
-
Orographic lift. Relatively warmer air at the surface is forced to rise into colder temperatures up above.
-
Bit of a shame this lockdown from a purely selfish POV. My parents live in West Norfolk and have seen around 15-20cm snow from constant snow showers over the past 48 hours - I would have stayed there for a few days to witness it.
-
Yes, yesterday's were too far south and today's are, as yet, too far north!
-
Showers too few and far between to really generate a good coating for anyone within their path today once solar radiation picks up. You really need to get frequent showers for anything decent.
-
Close enough. Got a thin layer down.
-
All right coventry, you've had ya fun.
-
Birmingham must be wondering what the fuss is all about. A few cold days a few sprinkles of snow.
-
Normally I stay on the fence but the models were predicting 5cm widely by this time and the majority have either seen a dusting or nothing at all. It will be far more localised that what the models are suggesting.
-
I think the any snow melt is honestly down to the sun's strength. We are ~7 weeks from the shortest day of the year and solar radiation has increased by roughly 15%. These small margins make a difference when you aren't really seeing much snow at all. You wouldn't notice it if you had a dumping.
-
Was expecting to wake up to a thin covering but alas sod all here. Not expecting anything over the next few days.
-
Something is killing the convection east of Birmingham.
-
First image are thicknesses for now This is 6am - this should really enhance shower activity.
-
Shower activity probably won't start getting going until bedtime really. Lower thicknesses will build in overnight which will allow for deeper cloud tops for better convection. None of the models are interested until the early hours when the shield of cloud from the low in the SE buggers off.
-
The streams (if they develop) will be waving around like a wacky inflatable arm-flailing tube man, so the whole region should cop part of a, or several, streamers at some point over the next 36 hours.
-
No it doesn't. The dew points are well below 0 meaning snow will settle anywhere now there's no solar radiation.
-
Will need the intensity of showers to be fairly reasonable to offset the drier air over land. If they remain fairly light, they will die out before even hitting Leicester.
-
GFS going for an even colder easterly next week. Unbelievable stuff!
-
I'm not rubbing it in but the snow amounts in the southeast are paltry compared to what was forecast in most locations. Some have done well so far but it isn't very widespread.
-
Oh, is that a slightly heavier shower making its way through the wash? A bit more moisture being pumped into the southern North Sea perhaps?
-
To be honest, I'd rather be 100 miles from snow than literally a few miles. I'd be pi55ed if I was on the yellow line!
