    Lovely day but bitter in that wind. If this is the last cold spell of the winter i won't be too disappointed. I would rate this spell 6/10 as although it delivered around 4 inches of snow and there were some impressive cold temperatures it could have been so much better in terms of snow depth. 

     

    However compared to last winter this winter has been brilliant if a little marginal at times. Enjoy the cold today and tomorrow.

    Yeah 6/10 sounds about right to me. I think what I was really longing for was some sustained heavy snowfall, instead we only really got light with bursts of moderate. Accumulations ended up ok but only because of the length of the spell, rather than the intensity.

    Well a fitting end to a disappointing spell for the region I guess, one final tease before cruelly being snatched away at the last moment. 

    Something that has seemed very consistent over the past week has been the real difficulty in developing or sustaining convection in the circled area.

    I'd love to know what the exact cause has been, could we have just been extremely unlucky with the wind direction (despite seemingly trying all of them at one point or another), has this area consistently been an area of divergence, or perhaps the sea temperature has played a part?

    I don't remember this being a particular problem in other cold spells and hopefully it won't be in the future!

    Hi all, bit of a lurker on here so thought it's about time I got registered. Big fan of winter weather and I'm like a big child when it comes to the snow to the annoyance of my Mrs.  I live on the Northumberland coast and it's snowing fairly heavy which it has done for the last hour or so. I seem to have become obsessed with checking this forum and the radar over the last few days. Anyway here's hoping we all get a decent amount of snow in the NE today

    Welcome! I think you're well placed today.

    Yes.  Look at the radar at 8.10 compared to 8.55.  That blob completely disappeared.  Hope its not a trend

    I think we should ask for our radar to be inspected, that section of the North Sea is like the ruddy bermuda triangle.

    Keep in mind that this is all linked to a trough that is on an elliptical arc (moving east to west whilst also going north) so it's not quite the same as the usual of looking at the wind direction/track of showers to be able to predict where they will land.
