Had Worse

Unlikely to see any significant snow South of the central Midlands- reason is a push of high pressure from the Azores which pushes the cold northwards quickly. Making blizzard preparations here though, expecting a significant event. Nice one @Kasim Awan

Just reading the MOD thread and everyone is on a downer (The South) it seems. Not a dig but an observation of those posters with the end is neigh comments.

cheshire snow Avanti, LNER and X-Country trains will be packed as the Southern contingent head North to our regional hoping to see significant snow. in the meantime, breezy, grey and actually dry. One place I can guarantee that will be white is the walls and ceiling that I'm painting.

severe snowstorm The BBC automated forecast has heavy rain for Glossop and just a bit of sleet for Buxton .

itsnowjoke that will be our Cockerpoo begging for some.

iand61 what is? Citys 4th Title in a row ?

I've been painting most of the day and hardly noticed the wind. I had a quick glance at this thread and kept seeing dark purple over the Peak District. What's that all about, it usually corrects South

Interesting. Over 9 hours of snow. I wonder what the settling altitude is. Edit- I see ECM takes it too far South so Staffordshire/South Derbyshire is the Northern edge. Up abit Down abit. Where will it settle on. ?

Rush2019 a good ground hog day would be opening the curtains and its snowing then the next day same again and so on. If it started and repeated every day and 6" fell, thats what you'd get every day. No more no less.

Rush2019 and some Kendal mint cake

Iceaxecrampon The way to the toilet?

Peeps jumping the gun on the Mod thread. ECM and UKMO have the boundary much further North at the moment. You only have to look at Edinburgh and that has one sleet period. The met office do mention the boundary but were unsure where it was going to be positioned.

Rush2019 I can see why the snowman is blushing, that must be painful.

russwirral id much prefer it started with gradual improvements than go straight into eye candy territory.

Yes, MOD thread getting very interesting indeed. Both UKMO and GFS are doing some serious teasing. Glorious charts 7 days out which will probably end up skirting the South Coast or N.France when T+0 arrives.

Tuesday 6th to Thursday 15th Feb Most likely unsettled at first for much of the UK. Turning colder across northern areas with showers, which will turn wintery at times especially over higher ground but to lower levels at times too. Cloud and rain being pushed in from the Atlantic may well be forced to track further south across the south of the country where it may remain milder but with more persistent rain, especially in the west. Exactly where the boundary between these two regimes lies is still rather uncertain at the moment. However, there is a chance of wintery conditions developing more widely across the northern edge of this boundary through the second half of next week for a time. Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Thu 1 Feb

Day 10 Thats the one. Just add the weather options in place of the food.

Day 10 I was singing rhat post to the "Will it be chips or jacket spuds?" advert from the 80's. Optimsm increasing but got to get to T+0 to verify.

4" of rain in January doesn't sound too bad. Cumbria and Wales can easily get that in one sitting. Super City last night. I listened to it whilst pottering about doing the never ending list of house chores.

Morning all. Broken cloud and dry 4°C Noticed the gritters had been sent out from Tameside as I spotted one coming down to the Derbyshire border which starts at Woolley Bridge. It was clear and starry last night around 9pm.

Rain Lady I think that JCB is fighting a losing battle.

Rain Lady if it carries on, we won't be able to see the lampposts.

Rush2019

Joe Snow Alluding to my post about the Norway blizzard. Can anyone remember the last time a cold front came down and turned to snow with white out conditions and lightning? Nasty tonight but its wet rather than white one it passes.

itsnowjoke More like chucking it sideways. The rain is like a power washer on the side of the house.
