Heads up Cumbria. Incoming.

Yes - sounds daft but Snow for me is always welcome in December for the obvious festivities - which hardly ever delivers especially at Fylde altitudes. Obviously we have gone looking for Mountain Gullies and Ridges in "Alpinesque"condition out of these months sometimes as far as April (Easter) but we were younger then.......!

....Time yet (Ready for Spring proper TBH)

Yes - at what timeframe do we say FI is FI? T+120 as you say?

BANK One to watch Reliable? FI or is it not FI? 06Z T+147 12-3-19

Meanwhile - out of the clinic.... 06Z T+147 12-3-19

if the GFS 00z is anything to go by Winter has not gone away - a week off but could be some interesting weather in store next week.

Storm Freya? Whats all the fuss?

00Z Alba - Winter really does bite back. Albeit 8 Days off - one to watch.

06Z Sunday 21:00 The March winds doth Blow.

False sense os security and all that...... 06z

What do they say? A false sense of security? 06Z Mon and Fri. Must admit - I've enjoyed the last weeks weather - long overdue.

17 Degrees Preston tomorrow. Welsh February Temp record has gone.

A "Like" in a sort of way maybe it's an age thing but that Sun is quite good.... Ive not been out in any real conditions this "Winter" a minor snowy trudge up in the Langdales nr Sargeant Man and freezing rain around Ambleside was particularly testing pre Christmas and thats about it.

Definately not over? ....FI

LOL

I like Winter for what I do (did). ....but it does go on a bit.

15 Degrees? Winter Over.

Westmorland Gazette POLICE are warning people not to travel unless absolutely necessary and thousands of homes have been left without power as Storm Erik continues to lash South Cumbria. The first 'named' storm of 2019 has battered the area overnight with the wind and rain set to continue through most of the morning. Trees and powerlines have been brought down with almost 7,000 homes in Grange-over-Sands, Kent’s Bank, Allithwaite, Kendal, Ravenglass and Ulverston left without power. Winds have gusted to 55mph with some the chance of gusts hitting 70mph in coastal areas.

House well and truly out at sea. Some huge gusts from over the fields as we are flat and exposed.

We are pretty much devoid of snow in our region - but we make up for it if you like to fly a kite.
