  1. love it this is where i miss living at 340m the snow battles getting stuck.....
  2. when you see a 7 foot drift between the riggin and long row you know it has been snowing....1979 ..respect
  3. some milder weather coming i think below 4 will be doing well unfortunately
  4. met office wrong again.....3 inch of slush if you are lucky the only forcast they got right is that in the usa
  5. snow to start this morning turning to rain midday still white above 200m 3deg.met office gave a max of 1?????????
  6. its not that far to leeds from here yet the differerce in weather is astonishing just shows what a difference the hills make
  7. seems that the south and east had it much worse than here more snow and colder,although we had a reasonable amount of snow with plenty of 4 ft drifts and bitter cold it was prob the same as 86 for snow but 86 lasted for 6 weeks had stiff east winds almost all feb unrelenting,was living at 350metre at the time can only imagine what 47 was like!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. they forcast it bad so probably get an inch of snow,mind you thats all it takes to bring this country to a halt
  9. march used to be a winter month most of the 80s
  10. was it last year i saw snowdrops early new year they are a bit later saw a few crocus trying to pake out other day think they will shrink back tomorrow
  11. i think its only showers no real 80s 90 or 95 blizzards but i guess you only need 50mm to cause gridlick these days when they dont use winter tyres or chains and have wider tyres on a micra than they used to put on ferraris what happened to the grippy snow cutting 145 instead of a 245
  12. would love to see those kind of temps but its the 7th now i guess you never knowit is northerlies now
  13. to get -1.1 for the month we will have to have savage night frosts for 3 weeks or very low maxima and night frosts for the entire month,december 2010 only made -0.7 cet although coldest cet in 100 years for dec,1981 beat it here making -1,only beaten by 1986 at -1.1 as the coldest month for50 years
  14. i dont think anyone can predict the weather in this country for more than a few days when the low pressure systems are coming from the atlantic if we have high pressure maybe a week or so for someone to say we are going to have a cold february i guess its going to happen sometime.i am saying we will have a hot and sunny july because we havnt had one since 2006,when was our last cold feb by the way?
  15. i believe 1995 was the last time you saw a real blizzard and the road in the valley up red brink level across 12 feet deep that winter was in another league....1979
  16. looks like you have had our share of snow .you seem to have done well these last few years
  17. drove down m1 this morning took a road from halifax ,hudds,barnsley and m1.torrential rain with very strong winds between 4.00 and 6.00amdown to midlands worst i've driven in a very long time!!!!!! also saw at least 5 flashes of lightening in south yorks
  18. just driven back from keswick and the wind is very strong interesting what the gusts will make today.still snow on the peaks in the lake district
  19. love the data,i remember 1979 i was 11and we had snow under the walls well into spring probably helped by a big blizzard in the third week of march,the drifts were almost black with muck(or soot?)and left lines of black when they finally melted.1986 i remember much more clearley i worked on a farm at 360m we also had the coldest november(1985)for 60 yearshad a wintery 2 week spell around new year and almost two weeks at the end of march into the first few days of april
