  1. No, not very exciting. Had a similar event here in Feb 2007, short cold snap, snowed heavily one morning after 2 very cold nights. Managed a decent covering but then rain set in after lunch and washed it all away...vile!
  2. Interesting, though sounds like a snow to rain scenario, yuk. Would be better if it just rained.
  3. My scores for this cold spell are: Synoptics: 8/10 Snow: 7/10 Frosts: 3/10 Total of 18/30 = 6/10 Synoptics were very interesting, great to get an all snow event from the W on Fri and unusual Synoptics on Sun delivered too. Snow amounts here were good, measured 13cm on Fri and approx 4cm fell on Sun. Frosts- well, here's where it went pear shaped for me, even though temps didn't rise above freezing Fri and Sun. Partial thaw Sat due to temps hitting 2C and again on Mon, with too much cloud at night preventing a good freeze. The cold spells of the 80s/early 90s were way colder and with much higher snow amounts, perhaps Feb will deliver? For now, mild is ok.
  4. I'd say its settling because its so heavy and pretty chilly, sadly will melt quite quickly if the ppn rate falls unless the temps drop down to freezing or below.
  5. Nice day here but snow thawing with a temp nearly at 1C, lots of dripping
  6. Slight thaw here as the sun has appeared, temp just nudged above freezing.
  7. Still snowing here lightly, that'll be 12 hours of constant snowfall temp -1C with very light N wind. What a great few days! What are chances for snow tomorrow?
  8. Very happy boy here, snowing since 8am. Been for long walk, snowball fights and stop off at the pub for a bottle of red
  9. My brother lives 40 miles north of Paris, he's had a few inches of snow overnight and says its still snowing there. Hopefully good for us
  10. Snowing quite heavily here, all bare patches re-covered Temp -2C with a N wind.
  11. Yes even the worst winters weren't solidly cold, there were brief milder interludes. Looking good for the next month or so I reckon with the SSW effects still to filter down
  12. Quite possible. Heathrow on alert for up to 6cm tomorrow. Just need the heavier stuff to push west a bit
  13. Yes, I agree. This cold spell is loads better than anything we had for most of the 90s and 00s but a long way from the proper cold and snow depths the 80s brought, which I remember well. Another reason to bring back the 80s, the best music too
  14. Not here either, -1.8C, E wind but little snow falling now. 13cm laying Fabulous!
