  1. My local weather station, Pitsford in Northants recorded a minimum temp last night of -12.4c at 07:30
  2. Sat in my study with lights off watching the snowfall. Is there any more beautiful sight? Flakes are sparkling as they fall as if star dust falling from the heavens.
  3. Still snowing moderately, could end up being a nice accumulation
  4. Steady moderate to heavy snow and settling on all surfaces. About a cm already. Temp -0.4c and dewpoint -2.7c Met office showing heavy snow for Northampton at 2100 and 0000 tonight
  5. snow heavier once more for it's last hooray, Temp -0.2c and dewpoint -1.6c level snow depth now up to 8cm, so very much as forecast
  6. Snowing much heavier now. Temp -0.8c Dewpoint -2.3c
  7. Exactly, we have a nice base layer for what is to come later. Am tempted to hope for a bit of freezing rain later but it will spoil the snow and my chances of getting to the peak district tomorrow.
  8. I wonder if the thicker colder air is weakening the intensity of the precipitation. Am hoping that lovely red blob has Northants name on it. Possible that precipitation may well intensify again as eastward movement of the front slows/stalls?
  9. Light fading and temp has just dropped below freezing to -0.1c. Dewpoint -3.1c Breeze from SE Light snow settling on all surfaces. No depth yet.
  10. Sky has a classic "loads of snow" look to it fingers crossed we could have 8 hours of snow ahead of us
  11. Snow has started in Northampton, tiny flakes but steadily falling in a stiff brezze. Dewpoint -3.1c Temp +0.4c and breeze from SE
  12. False start for snow, 2 flakes, then stopped. Exciting news of heavy snow further west, Wind has picked up here. Dewpoint -3.7c Temp +0.3c
  13. Are you sure that is rain behind the snow, may be a graphic for frost?
  14. First signs of a change of thinking at the Met Office? The 5 day forecast for my area for the last few days has shown the wind direction as being SSW, S, SSW and just now has changed to north and Saturday has changed from SW to SSE. Interesting.
  15. ...never seen so many seagulls in the fields at the back of me....'tis a sign I tell thee..
  16. ....and the Midlanders say stuff the weather i'm staying in bed.... lol
  17. Fantastic runs from both GFS and UKMO puts the UK well and truly in the freezer next week with potentially epic snowfall, one chart shows midday temp acoss the midlands of minus 6 !! Should be some fantastic winter climbing conditions in both the Peak District and Lake Disatrict. I shall definitely being taking some time off.
  18. Light rain shower. Temp 6.3c and dewpoint 2.0c After shower had passed Temp has fallen sharply to 5.3c and dewpoint down to 1.4c
  19. I'm not. I was merely giving my interpretation to Bogman of the Met Office Outlook for the period from 11 Febraury 2012 to 25 February 2012. As I am sure you will agree Andy these Outlook's together with FI can be extremely useful in spotting and or supporting trends albeit with the usual caveats.
