All the rain we’re having is making the north York moors looking like it has lochs and glens
-
1065mb over the pole, that has Ssw written all over it
-
It’s building anticipation as it’s due to start on the anniversary of the feb 91 spell. What are the chances
-
Some pretty serious weather on the way, blizzards
-
One huge difference from January is the amount of seriously cold air to the east
-
Ukmo looks perfect for Sunday, -10’s flooding in. Finally some deep cold

7-9 February 1991 Heavy Snowfall A phenomenal 46cm of snow fell in Longframlington and at Fylingdales. The snow was dry and powdery, driven in by a fierce North Easterly wind. This period brought the infamous ‘wrong kind of snow’ comment by a Southern England railway employee.

Looks like the coldest Jan since 2010. Jan 2013 is attached to compare, mean temperatures on the left. 2013 top, 2021, bottom

Just thinking of the deeper cold pooling in with that north-east flow. On the 850’s chart you can see them flooding south once them heights develop
-
UKMO at 144. Lovely area of heights to the north

I remember being visibly upset when they changed the graphics later in the 2000’s

The best of both worlds here, Greenland and scandi blocking. “25-28 January 1996 Heavy snowfall Heavy and prolonged snow blocked roads in the region. 20-40cm was typical, with 50cm reported from NW County Durham.”

Some interesting rain % for the month on the far left for southern areas of the region

Agree, if it continues like this through to the start of March, it will be the king of frustration for our region. Other places have done well midlands etc but even there it’s gone within a day or 2 without elevation. The winter has been noticeably lacking of deep cold, wet too.

hehe, it has been a very marginal winter, lack of extremes. The only winter i can remember which was a little similar was maybe 08/09

Here’s to Reminisce. Darren bett from 3:13 brilliant

This was one of my favourite snow events of all time. As much as a foot of snow in 3 hours
-
Snowing lightly at the top of charltons bank, 200m +
-
2nd coldest min of the winter round here

The thing is even though winter 2018 wasn’t as cold up to date, teeside was very fortunate. I remember this from mid-jan as a small low went from west to east, started as rain but turned to snow through the night, 2-3 inches which was followed by cold days/nights so it stayed for 3 days. 2021 has only had 2 days lying snow so far whereas 2018 had 13. Never known anything like that beast!
