Statistically speaking the chance of a cold rest of winter is minimal given there has never been a cold late jan / feb following a mild sep, dec and first half of jan fact. Even less of a chance given the climate change atm. The slight glimmer of hope is that some drivers are in the cold direction atm, as the strong vortex relaxes into early Spring it may allow these drivers to inflict a better blocking effect. I know it isn't over, neither is today, just a bit miffed that the big opportunity for a streamer this morning here has been scuppered by the trough in Ireland being way North of forecast.
We’ll be talking about the snow cut off date soon!
At least I’ve been sledging once this season and it’s not as bad as ‘88/89!

Weirdly there is no wind at all at the moment here.
Went out at 8am. and it’s cold is my professional assessment.
Some small patches of ice on the way to the shop as well, most likely from the clear skies just before dawn.

I'm sure southerners use the phrase "popped out"?
They may, but they wouldn’t say “Just popped bin out” That’s proper northern!

Not really, it's virtually - 6 to - 7 uppers and that if you believe the GFS is even right. Always has a tendacy to have slightly colder upper air temperatures than the euro models.
Dont really see what the hype is about really, transient mostly hill snow tomorrow and wintry showers on Friday(with the snow level rising during the day) , snow accumulations reserved mainly for the higher ground. Then it's just wet and windy again for Saturday.
Roll on Spring/summer because this region is depressing weather wise in winter, far too much rainfall, and dull overall. At least in summer unlike in the NE, we get some proper heat here when the set up is right.
Because a lot of the region is higher ground and this could be a good event. Certainly a lot better than the stupidly mild weather we’ve had recently.

Just watched the met office forecast. At the end the text says 'Cold wind, Wet in west (some snow) and Milder by next week'. Screams downgrade to me.
Atlantic wins in the end. (Breakdown just a whimper)
Pretty much how 1987 fizzled out. Early promises of breakdown snow and then reality was a bit of freezing drizzle and a Misty warm up in a day.

Still lightly snowing, some heavier bursts. Good covering. Almost tempted to go out for a drive in it and pretend I’m going into hyperspace.

Southern edge of this and the best snow of the spell so far.

The beefy 'Macclesfield' shower looks roughly on course for here. With temperatures now dropping and the sun going down, hopefully we can grab a dusting, but obviously this is reliant on the shower maintaing course and/or not fizzling out.
Given a covering here just north of macc

Regardless of what anyone says, the sun will melt your snow at this time of year no matter what.
Despite it being below freezing, the snow that fell is now melting rapidly in the strengthening February sunshine. Not much cloud about today to stop it either. Can't even hang onto a dusting in one of the coldest easterlies for years.
You must have a different sun there, not much strength in it here yet. in a couple of weeks maybe. Zero melt here.

Not a proper easterly (officer).
Nope definitely not.
In the past even a poor easterly delivered well on the peaks with dandruff everywhere else. I remember a few troughs in the past just down the Pennines whilst the rest of the region moaned about easterlies. Not seen one of them since the eighties though.

You in NE Cheshire over towards the Peak District look to be in a sweet spot for it. Hoping it sinks south a bit to include me haha!
I’ll try and send some your way

I'm not sure which is worse that or 'smells like snow'. What next tastes like snow in the air?
More accurate than the apps. Don’t taste the yellow snow

It feels more like snow now and the clouds have more of a proper convective snow cloud look to them than they have done all day.

After I had a little whinge we now have the best snow of the day and white over again.

I have a feeling this is going to be a repeat of the 2018 BFTE here, days of pretty much consistent, but extremely light snow that didn't stick or accumulate at all here.
Wish it was here, deep snow, lots of drifting roads closed.

I’m hopecasting for a mini trough or organised band of showers towards nightfall.

It’s easy to know when it will snow, it happens then the snow symbols are moved from the met office app.

Just drove from Bollington to Wilmslow, the snow pellets came on very suddenly making the roads slippy very fast.
