  1. As said by others a very nice early spring day with plenty of sun. And you can feel it gaining a bit of strength now. Sun angle similar to early October and when it's sunny then it can feel just as pleasant as now, maybe even more so given temps can be a bit milder than March.
  2. Some wording in the mad thread from the usual suspects about potential moving forward regarding cold, they've been saying it for months. But wouldn't it be just typical that as we get to mid March we get a 2018 mini beast scenario. Where was you all winter? I'd take it for sure but I'd love a mid winter one better.
  3. Looking S & E there appears to be some snow on Kinder and Bleaklow, whether that's from yesterday or this morning I don't know. Nothing on wildbank hill which is lower down at 399m. Yesterday there was a bit you could see near the summit.
  4. Rain Lady doesn't surprise me, I.e early signs of plant growth. And when you look at the 20c isotherm touching the southern coast of Spain and we're not even into April never mind May when it usually happens is it any wonder thoughts turn to just how hot it might get this year. Any plume we get could rival the record heat of 2022.
  5. Seems like it was a 400m+ affair today as I look east. Only the highest hills have any sort of covering. Below this nasty cold rain.
  6. Hmmm once again it just doesn't look cold enough at lower levels. Like the last event.
  7. Obviously some snow accumulation charts coming into view now. Been a long day been here there and everywhere so only going to post the harmonie one and it does show reduced accumulation around Manchester but it's not a giant white hole like the last failed event and I feel is more the urban heat effect. So I think there is a bit of a better chance of snow at lower levels this time around. Steady as she goes though.
  8. HafrenLMP1 I was hoping we'd have some kind of repeat this winter but wasn't to be. Even watered down but can't even get that. Probably too late now, could get a "mini beast" ala 17th-18th March 2018 but not looking likely.
  9. Don from what I remember it was kind of a last minute thing, well only became apparent it was going to happen around 2 days beforehand. Not like the usual day 10 teases we get that never move into the reliable.
  10. Don it snowed most of the day, took those pics just after the last dregs fell but it was all gone by late the next morning Don. Like you say better than nothing and was a better fall than anything we've had this "winter!".
  11. baddie Not an ice day but we had this on the 4th March that year. Temp that day max 1c. Shame it didn't last and wasn't part of a proper cold spell.
  12. Gone 6 o'clock and there's still a little bit of light left. Yep we've got rid of those long dark Winter days now. Spring very much around the corner.
  13. East Lancs Rain i think we should call you serial quoter given how much you quote people on here
  14. Had Worse Yeah that's true, someone living at the coast would probably think 100m is high up but to me it's not as I can miss out on the more marginal stuff at that height where as around your height you can get in on it. A bit like someone 80 yrs old probably thinks a 50 yr old is relatively young but to a 20 yr old a 50 yr old is ancient. Differing interpretations.
  15. Finally saw a frost this morning. My moaning last night paid off . God we really are scraping the barrel when we are getting giddy over it, shows how rubbish this winter has been.
