Even so isn't this a Model Discussion?

First Scandi snow? - albeit low percentage but there you go. Chilly in the Glens and on the tops.......

....thanks Mr Fish

Isaac inbound - any cause for concern as yet?

You having a laugh?

Summer 2012 - totally cr*p in the NW - worst I can remember and I am 50 this year - off to the south coast next week - joy......

Happy Easter.

Agreed - cant even be bothered looking into the post mortem of it - rain rain rain and rain cold rain at that. I love Lancashire but I am looking forward to our move to Windermere in about 4 years time - Kirkstone here we come.

-18 chill - Helvellyn a few times - cold enough for your water bottle to turn to slush in your rucksack.

This was more of a streamer from the NW.

Where are you......??????!!!!! Good old fashioned cold Lancashire rain on the Fylde.

Not holding out for too much out of this tonight.Temps not cold enough. Kendal tomorrow might see some ppn on the tops. Will keep an eye on a lamppost or two though.Whats the latest on the battleground situation? Ian

Dark. A sleety mix in Mellor.

Yes they do go camping - every credit. Knowledge and respect of the hills is everything Please expand on your statement regarding our mountains are the most dangerous in Europe! Scafell Pike is difficult to navigate in mist let alone in a blzzard due to its boulder strewn nature with no discernable paths to follow. Piers Gill is a hazard Broad Stand best left alone Lords Rake has a chocstone ready to drop anytime - all in all a challenging environment - the favourite mistake is descending into Eskdale in error.

Here you go..... http://www.distance-calculator.co.uk/distances-for-windermere_,_lake_district-to-wirral.htm Reduced Bus Service though. Not "done" N Wales much - Tryfan N Ridge was the last time out a few years back - interesting....

Festive Wintry PPN for the Western Fells? ....Oh and dahn sarf too Ian

Wouldn't call Windermere - Ambleside - Keswick extreme mountainous at all....! Once had Sharp Edge and Halls Fell ridge on Blencathra pencilled in for a winter round - these weren't in condition at all - drove 15 miles to the SW Bowfell and the Crinkles got a pasting - all good fun - a good day. SP - you ought to get out more often. That Winderbeer forecast looks like sleet anyway. Ian

Cannot see why you have predicted (and even narrowed down) snow down to the "last third" of Jan - this time last week we were staring down the barrell at 90mph winds - we got snow - which you and more or less everyone else on here and the Meto didnt forecast- model watching is absolute codswallop.

Depth 2cm Near Blackburn - mist decended on hills above Mellor - Sunny spells - quite festive.

Huge flakes nr Blackburn - starting to ease a bit how is the set up for the rest of the morning?

Laden clouds nr Blackburn 268asl - possible streamer on radar. Heavy snow in Barton (Nth Preston)

Tend to ignore their warnings - METO snow warning was forecast today for the NW wasn't it? - probably at my peril.

Cheers. Looking forward to lamppost watchers and nowcasting. Ian.

06z Snow down to lower level as the winds get pulled in from the North. Serious stuff - hope the Jocks will have something on under their kilts.

Agreed. Friday the 9th is back on again - a real model rollercoaster.... Sunday 18th.... :blink: Although ppn is rain?
