If anything does fall I'd be surprised if it lasts on low ground beyond tomorrow afternoon as a milder sector moves through from late morning. You might be ok at your elevation but the Pennine passes will definitely see the snow linger for sure right through into Friday. Especially with these temps.

Interesting developments in the Irish sea. This is where the unexpected can happen with shower development.

I used to have a cat she was called Samantha but unfortunately she passed away but at a good age, I still miss her. All black she was, lovely cat. I don't want to get another and get attached again.

Hope you picked her up off the floor haha

Used to make me smile when Dan Corbett called a low pressure "little fella". I miss these old school presenters. I did hear he moved to New Zealand? Could be wrong I know it was overseas though.

Yes March too but it's just not the same as in actual Winter. But I'll take snow anytime really. Had snow cover here in April 2021 so you never know.

By Thursday Harmonie going for a dusting/light cover over lower ground. Looking very good for parts of Lancs, Lakes and Yorkshire Dales.

As long as there's some snow out of this I'll be happy, doesn't have to be heavy. As it looks inevitable now we'll see milder stuff at the weekend and a return of the awful rain by the looks of it from then on! Hopefully it won't be long after we'll see another roll of the dice for colder stuff.

Inland looking fine plus at this stage it's looking like it'll be early in the morning when it arrives before temps rise. It's just getting the precipitation in conjunction with the cold that's usually the problem in this region.

Yeah the city centre is around that elevation (30-50m) and also heavily built up so snow is very difficult to come by. Here where I am is 100m and we do tend to get more of course but in the future I'm moving higher up again. I used to live at 165m and often got into the more marginal stuff at that height where lower ground just 30m lower often had nothing. Crazy what a bit of height can do with orographic lifting. So across this city you often get conflicting opinions on how well you tend to do and also what your expectations are. Here I am expecting a covering this week but not a lot because I'm not particularly high up.

It's pretty similar here really. I've noticed it's often good with low temps being a long way inland and at the foot of the Pennines the cold "drains" into here and can really gather but for heavy disruptive snow it's rare indeed but not impossible as I've experienced it in the past. For whatever reason east of the Pennines tends to not be as cold as here at night but they get more snow in general as they aren't effected by the shadow. It is a funny place the UK over short distances.

Looks like 6 days of cold then turning milder, after the 20th we lose the bitter below -10c perturbations which is always a sign that anything severe is on the way out but not a foregone conclusion. Still time for an extension of the cold as we get closer to next weekend.

Yeah some ridiculous temps right now over there. -35c but with a -51c windchill in Plentywood Montana. Crazy stuff. I think it's safe to say you'd need the hat and gloves in that

I just hope it's not another Dec 2022 scenario - very cold but mostly dry with little snow. We'll see still plenty of time for disturbances to develop.

Brrrrrrrrriliant ensembles. See what I did there? Rock solid support for cold up to the 21st I'd say, after that things become blurred but that's usually the case anyway, it was back in 2010. When things got closer to those distant timeframes the cold got upgraded again not saying it'll happen again this time round but just saying.

Paul the bouncer will have ya haha.

That was a decent event, remember getting a lovely surprise when waking up when I looked out and hearing the airport had shut down too, had to wait 4 years for a good event like that. 2000-2001 was a winter that ended up probably the best overall from the 1997-2008 period.

Think I posted this a while back but I'd love even a quarter of this what they had in Athens a couple of years back. Skip to 6 minutes onwards, they had some insane amounts of snow. And these were the synoptics of that day. Crazy how high pressure over most of Europe is usually very good for snow lovers there in SE Europe with NE winds on the outer edge of it dragging in cold air from that direction. But for the rest of us very poor. No coincidence that it's going to be very mild next week in Athens when we are bitterly cold.

Inevitable really as even in December 2010 we did have a brief milder incursion from the west before it turned colder again, it would be highly unusual for the rest of this month or beyond to stay cold and I'm not going to delude myself into thinking otherwise lol. A full week of it is now unusual these days before we get an interruption. We'll see anyway, got to get the cold in first. Still even if there's no snow dry bright and cold is far better than the incessant rain we've had. Good riddance to it.

My friend in Latvia says the people over there are saying it's been like a traditional winter so far with not much proper let up in the cold. And there's no sign of any mild incursion on the way either. They are usually west enough to get some milder Atlantic stuff on occasion but obviously even for us that's not going to happen for a while so you can imagine how brutal it's going to be out east for the rest of this month and the ensembles show it. Look at the 2m temps

Jeez. Yr.no giving -10c here next week Don't know why I cannot search for Audenshaw. Strangely it has Guide Bridge station as an option to pick but there you go

It's a real pain it really is. And seems to be even more pronounced with a breeze. Had good coverings though in both Feb and March 2018 with the BFTE with impressive drifting around fields, I guess this was from convective easterlys rather than a frontal event with a SE wind. Unless it was such severe synoptics that the shield got overwhelmed haha.

Zero to be concerned about with the cold. All looking very good and it seems for a few days now Sunday into Monday has been the consistent landing zone for the Arctic air to arrive and this is encouraging as we all remember the past cold spells that never materialised always pushed the cold back day after day.
