about 2 inches in the marginals, +0.5 slow thaw now. Looks like most sneaked by to the south. Chance tomorrow, but I suspect altitude needed. Hope all the South Cumbria marra's OK.

-2.5 and clouding over in the marginals-what had thawed a little in the sun has frozen again so pretty slippery in places. Wind picked up a bit so pretty raw outside.

Just been doing a few outside jobs, so now warming up finger ends on keyboard! -6.6 overnight in the marginals, still -4.0 in the shade, but a stunning day outside. Exciting stuff-good to see ramp back in action, scoobs has snow at sea-level and i'm currently on Kasim-watch to see what these little features might bring later. Possibly the marginals not so marginal ???? Not a usual set up for here in recent years, so interesting to see the outcome.

Another crispy one in the marginals, currently -3.3 and falling. As Iceaxe says BBC not giving much creedence to snow in NW, but Kasim and hi-res giving some hope.

-2.0 in the marginals,-4.5 last night, crispy, clear and cold all day with thick frost hanging on in the shade. Very nice. Expecting a -5.0 tonight. Back lanes pretty icy and tricky and some interesting synoptics starting to show in short to medium term.

Pretty grim in the marginals consistent- moderate to heavy rain since midnight, just backing off now. Forecast for frost overnight which will make the back lanes very interesting. Kasim are you getting decent snowfall over 300m then?-Just saw the odd flicker of sleet in the rain on a trip to Macc this morning.

Few strong gusts in marginals but nothing too dramatic. Scoobs are you having to hang on to lamp posts in Arnside?

Blustery and wet in the marginals at present. Just got my eye on where that wrap round is going. Experience suggests tight pressure gradient and strong gusts just below that tail. Short lived NW gusts have done some damage to trees here in the past.

Forecast looks 'interesting' with this storm tomorrow. Rapidly deepening little runner. We've got away with it a little recently, but we could get this one in the teeth. Chance of amber warning in coastal areas later? Keep an eye on it and take care folks. pip22 take it easy and I hope you are back to top form soon.

Yes Woodford airfield near south Manchester recorded that in the January. Happened twice that year also in the December as well at the same spot. A very good year for cold that was, great memories.
Just beat me to it DH! I think in my lifetime only 1981 was colder-but again memory.......

Noticed east of the pennines there were areas barely 100m getting quite a bit of snow. Stronger easterly and always colder anyway that side perhaps? More intensity in the precipitation? Just thoughts but often see this
Think we do get a bit of rain shadow off an Easterly in this part of Cheshire-wonder if descending air also creates slight warming. Bit of a mini Foehn effect. Think I studied this stuff but it was a long time ago-the first thing that goes is your memory and I can't remember hat the second thing is!

Well the marginals were well, marginal! Quite astonishing altitude variations with this snow event, hardly any snow at 200m, day after tomorrow at 250 plus-can't remember If i've ever seen a snow event with such sharp altitude delineations. Now significant airmass change and spring like and mellow outside-time of year I guess. This week looks interesting another yellow warning tomorrow night which again looks marginal at lower altitudes then further interest later in the week. Wonder if this flip-flopping is going to establish as a little pattern for a week or two?

3C (not sure about my sensor now), light snow in the cold and grey marginals, light Easterly breeze. -2 last night despite the cloud sheet moving in. Pretty confused here re forecasting and models-still lots of variation showing. Gut feeling is situation good for a heavy fall, but..... Lots of more scientific data to the contrary. Interestingly fax seemed to show Thursday/Friday depression not quite as far North, which leaves most of our region in the cold air mass. Nowcasting anyone?

Just been for a short stroll, beautiful night in the marginals, bright, clear, full moon, air quality pretty good-can see starts low down on horizon all round, temp -1. Some high cloud away to the SW. Worth a look at- put yer 'at on!

Bright and cold in the marginals, but still feels like spring out of the wind. This event is going to be interesting-synoptics looking good and as said yesterday this is the classic set up for the East Cheshire marginals-but it's getting late in the year, how much will altitude be a factor and small differences in low position could make a very big difference. Not sure i'm going to see many colleagues from the Peak District for a day or two though!

Clearing here in the marginals after a pretty grim. grey day. Some interest on Thursday and Friday-historically it's this sort of set up that has given big snow events in this part of the NW. Question is -will it be cold enough?

Been a bit busy with work the last few days so not really been keeping in touch (and not much as happened-dull, grey, cool in the marginals). But where has that low come from that's forecast next Tuesday? Is that an Atlantic feature or something dropping down from higher latitudes?

Slight frost in the marginals but thawing by 8.30. Now 6.8C patchy cloud with the odd light splash of rain coming through on a NE breeze.

-3.3 in the marginals last night, lane very icy in places with one or two lateral excursions from the unwary, Currently 0.6, wind picking up. Looks like full Atlantic train for next few days. That met office weather warning chart looks proper weird.
