  1. Well I'm 60 in a few years so I'm not as energetic at this time as I used to be, so night and good luck you all.
  2. Yes, quite a few snowy settlements there like Tomintoul, Braemar, Balmoral etc. A stones throw from the ski resorts if that's your thing.
  3. There's a guy on TWO and apparently he had little if any snow at all last Winter, he lives in Skipton or near it. I guess there's some massive differences over a few miles. That's the UK for you.
  4. Indeed we got a bit more here. It's like sometimes in a good East flow snow showers can get almost to Merseyside
  5. If a weather system is coming in from the west they won't the Pennines would gobble some of the intensity up.
  6. Yes city, but not snowiest place in England. Parts of NW England like Saddleworth are far snowier. 2010 it was bad everywhere. I can show you stats for Manchester if you like. -15C here at Manc airport
  7. You get more snow than Liverpool for sure, hell I think even London gets more than Liverpool. But here we certainly can get quite a lot from north, west or east setups, were perfectly placed at times. so we probably get the same as you, your just close enough for coastal warming and low enough to not get significantly more. If you lived in Consett ,higher Teesdale or North York Moors then I'd agree.
  8. Fog slowly starting to thin out here now, certainly not as dense as 30 mins ago, temp is still dropping slowly though.
  9. Yes it's been foggy here since this morning, got gradually worse through the day, not any better now out there, very dense.
  10. Should imagine Eskdalemuir to do alright tonight..
  11. I think it will be very marginal tonight Ian, some places even a couple of miles apart could look different from each other by morning.
  12. True, should think places like Denshaw, Diggle and as you say around Standedge area will get a couple inches at least. Always a favourite area around there for snowfall.
  13. I don't think so, don't think we're looking at significant accumulations even at the ground, probably highest areas of Saddleworth may get quite a bit. Never say never though
  14. Dew Point is -2 here at the moment, but it might rise later and also mind you I am in the east of the region.
  15. Dense freezing fog, visibility below 30 metres, been a while since it was this bad.
  16. As others have said the models we're seeing are still better than most of the mild stormy SW muck we put up with in most of the 90's 00's and it's not December yet or traditionally the coldest time of year, there should be a raging gale outside and 10 degrees but instead at the moment it's a few degrees below freezing. Still model wise things can improve even further with the 00z.
  17. To be honest I think it was just sheer bad luck, the writing was on the wall for a very decent cold spell right up to the very last hurdle then it just fell through. A bit like last Feb when we was so close to something special, but it was the folks over the other side of the North Sea that got some crazy Winter weather. Anyway the models don't look bad tonight, nothing like last balmy mild last Christmas that's for sure
  18. Looking at the esembles here in the North there doesn't look like much of a warm up, looks like staying cold until at least Tuesday with still the chance of some wintry showers, milder further south at times.
  19. Sunny. Max today so far only 1.3C, min was -5.4C, grass min was -10.2C Been a bitter day out there, frost in the shade, on north facing roof and the other halfs car windscreen too, don't think it will melt now.
  20. People have been saying something along those lines for the past 2 weeks, I.E it's always over a week away in FI from something potentially good, last week a few models were showing a decent snow event for some of us on the 1st, not likely now is it? OK nothing mild is showing but as of tonight (unless a monumental turn around happens) people need to stop grasping desperately at straws and admit that nothing noteworthy will arrive until at least the 2nd week of December.
  21. As Steve Murr and I think a few others have said the GFS has a mild Atlantic bias to it - it ALWAYS struggles with the idea of bringing in the cold from the east or north east.
  22. People, the GFS blip is just one run and in deep FI, let's see how it pans out for the 18z and the rest tomorrow. No need for panic yet.
  23. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn3361.png - Mild SW winds, get the deck chair out but it's 2 weeks out anyway and only one run it will change.
  24. I guess you mean this one? http://modeles.meteociel.fr/modeles/gens/graphe_ens3.php?x=250&ext=1&y=51&run=18&runpara=0 Absolute corker!
