Still snowing lightly here, around 3 cm on the ground, a proper covering, best of 2017-18. Lovely dry, powdery snow. Definitely sausages for breakfast.

Just been out in it, seems to be getting heavier. Best covering of the winter in mid March!

When you had that streamer overnight a few days ago we had nothing. Where I live had a bit more but literally nothing in Cheshire.
It doesn't always pay off but when it does.....January 2009 I seem to recall was a good one?

Travelling through the country by train today. Am amazed how little snow there is across Cheshire. Seems like a line west of Wilmslow is green!
I noticed that yesterday as well even Knutsford three or four miles east had far more snow.

I give this Winter 5/10 for me.
It is quite rubbish to be honest. The big wait continues.
5/10 is fair, not much snow but my location generally doesn't get much unless it's something like a Cheshire streamer. Still more snow days than recent winters just a bit envious of others around the country, mind you after chatting to some friends in the SW we've dodged a bullet over the last 24 hrs. It's been pretty brutal. Hopefully a solar minimum in future years will nudge us in the right direction?

No snow here, in fact there's very little lying snow left but the wind on the other hand....

It's funny you say that as I was only thinking the other day "Why don't i seem to remember 2013"...and it's because it wasn't memorable here. I know I'm frustrated about the lack of snow but I know it's just because it's such rare synoptics (sub zero temps) that I really want to see a proper event. I have seen some amazing things but I don't want to wait another 20 years until I see it again!
I certainly remember it, I lived in Altrincham at the time and got absolutely zilch out of it whilst the rest of the country appeared to be snowed under.

Really is isn't it? Been very disappointing so far in Northwich. An easterly definitely hasn't delivered here as expected.

That gap between the two right in the middle! Seriously?

I've made it to Manchester Airport, there's a lot more snow here than Northwich and it's coming down pretty steadily. I don't think the weather apps can cope with this, the radar looks like there's several hours worth of snow incoming?
-
Little disappointed overall here, looking at a few graphics I'm located right between the two bands of snow. Still better than recent winters and I was caught in one epic white out yesterday afternoon so can't really complain.

After a break of around an hour we should start to see some snowfall hit the NW again, looking at the radar there are some nice formations coming in off the east coast.
I was just about to ask if they'd make it over here? Let's hope so.
-
Well I was caught in a proper snow shower in Knutsford at 4pm as it trundled west. Marvellous.
-
Snow!
A covering already, no issue with it sticking.
-
Well, well, well, to my surprise opened the curtain and there's sausage. I wouldn't call it a full Cumberland rather more of a chipolata

Lets rename the blob into egg!!
So we have egg and sausages!!
I've named it a sausage and a sausage it is, it's a technical term. What you're referring to above is something completely different.
-
Not a sausage here, a quick 30 second flurry this afternoon!
-
Sunny here now, we've just had the first proper snow shower, small flakes but definitely snow. It's been gradually moving from rain and hail to snow during the day. Just hope there's enough precipitation later on?

its riduclous really, i mean, it really is.
I'm finding the change over with the BBC very confusing, there's a substantial difference between the Met Office and MeteoGroup's interpretation of the forecasts and not just with the apps but with the TV weather segments as well. It's as if the presenter is displaying MeteoGroup's charts and forecasts but is actually referring to the MetO's forecast. Words and visual's don't seem to match up.

Is that the latest GFS? You should be posting in the model output thread.
-
My weather station is currently reporting 23 degrees at the moment, although I did bring it indoors a couple of days ago.
-
Small flakes here although it seems to have intensified a little bit.
-
Excitement building in the model output thread for early Feb. Let's hope they're not building up for another fall?
-
That was nice whilst it lasted, recently a wintry mix then back to rain here now. Popped out to Knutsford an hour ago and it was coming down really nicely.

One word, gloomy. Seems like a fair few recent winter's, chasing cold in FI that is always pushed back.
