A few days ago Sunday was forecast to be dry with a pleasent 16 deg/C temperature...then it flipped to a cool rainy day. How disappointing...my grass cutting plans for today were totally scuppered.

After a disaster of a winter in the central belt we get this...in April. Over night minimum 0.4 Deg/C Current temp 2.1 Deg/C Cloud temp was -3.1 Deg/C now 0.5 Deg/C Ground temp 2.0 Deg/C

Just to stick the knife further in...we have the perfect winter set-up for the east coast to get piles of snow that is apart from the air source, instead from a freezing continent we have it coming from North Africa. I almost wept when I saw it.

Loving all the pictures everyone, those Northern Lights shots are superb. The weather...I'am not really sure what season you could describe what we have at the momment, this cool dull grey is not pleasant, we are starting to get the odd bit of drizzle coming through here...oh the joy. Our snow chances looking forward are zero there is nothing to indicate this will change, this chart over on VWCharts is in fantasy land, even the mad thread have stopped chasing their tails for anything cold. Roll on spring for some much needed warmth.

The weather is in a slump...I know how it feels, where's the cold gone.

Kayemill I agree...outside this afternoon wearing a t-shirt in the middle of winter, I mean it just shouldn't be. The grass has taken off again it will be needing a cut shortly if it grows any more. If I remember correctly we have had two falls of snow this winter, the first week in December and that non-event which gave us a sprinkle but that was weeks ago. Does anyone remember a few years ago when we have an extended atumn it wasn't mild just mid single digits for weeks, this is starting to look like that.

What a very nice day...plenty of sunshine with a little bit of warmth thrown in for good measure...you could say Spring has sprung. As much as it pains me to say I think we could be done for this winter, the outlook towards the end of the month is dire for cold, into March its not looking much better. I'd be more than pleased if I was wrong.

Snowlover2 Very nice.

From weather to astronomy. Just had a peek outside...its clear calm and cold and a beautiful view of Orion in the sky...Betelgeuse looking stunningly red. Hand held so apologies to any pro-photographers.

So I wasn't imagining it...I thought I saw a couple of flashes earlier on then really heavy hail showers, I was out at the shops later on an it was snowing and 1deg/C showing on the motor. Best wintry weather around here for a good while.

Hairy Celt Oh no...we're all going to die, drowned in our own homes or frozen to death by the impending ice age. Is this the next thing the climate loonies are latching onto, they really need to give it a rest, Christ they said we'd all be burnt to a crisp twenty years ago...and not much has changed has it. Don't worry it'll be ok.

There's not enough cold air within that low pressure to turn all those nice juicy sliders into snow...just look at them all.

This was our total amount...hee-haw snaw..!!! I must admit it was clear to see from earlier on in the week that was going to be the outcome.

I've been watching this "up coming event" since last weekend, I have my doubts its going to snow, for around here almost all the models are showing at best a wintry mix or cold rain...so its all up for grabs. Amazing how its flipped back and forth this week...most frustrating. That stubborn high pressure continues to be a bloody pain...we would kill for that during summer but once again here it is ruining the UK winter. We are rapidly running out of time once again for a decent winter.

I've been having a play around with this, how accurate I don't know but it looks amazing.
