i have found the lack of interest in the upcoming storm from uk news agencies very odd, they have not got a clue whats about to happen more interested in Royal family issues
"Don't look up" comes to mind....

Storm Arwen produced an unexpected decent covering for my neck of the woods so there could be some surprises.
Yes and me .... Snow after Arwen

Nope. Incredibly consistent ICON this Winter, could it be right again?
So are models ever "right or wrong"? The models just try to predict the most likely way that the weather will develop (as that is not decided in advance!) so you could have a model that does not do very well at predicting the most likely scenario but looks like they got it "right" because the most likely scenario did not happen. Just a morning thought.

OK so answering my own questions here just in case someone else gets stuck on this. I contacted Sainlogic and they replied with some instructions to adjust relative and absolute pressure (which were not in the manual I had) and it works.
Basically you press set and alarm for 5 secs to take you to calibration screen. Details attached. Hope that helps someone. It's a good little mid-priced weather station and with this adjustment I'm not happy.

I have a Sainlogic ft-0300 too. Working fine 24hrs in but did you solve the how to adjust air pressure issue? How does the unit calculate difference between absolute and relative pressure?
Thanks

Snowing here now - one last goodbye from the snow for now. Still tomorrow for sledging. I don't think winter is completely over even though hit will be warmer next week.

Still -5 at 11am. That's pretty unusual! Proper ice day!
I know some have missed out but this has been the best winter here for quite a while for snow. Snowed Christmas Eve and lasted ages and then approx. 17cm here and cold enough not to melt even in the sun. 3 more very cold days to follow before the thaw.

Looking forward to spring warmth now
Narnia here until at least Sunday

Who would have guessed a few days ago that Weds would end up being the snowiest day!? Heavy show showers here in Hexham via Ashington. Probably 10-15cm lying snow and just below zero degrees. Probably another 2-3 cm in last 20 mins!

Lot's of negative here and I know it's hit and miss but 5-6cm accumulated here and -2.4 degrees with more showers coming in so good for some (sorry for those that didn't get).
I've worked out they have to cross the coast just north of Whitley Bay to hit us.

To anyone not getting the showers. Don't worry. All you're missing out on is more sodding graupel.
Not true everywhere?
-
A good covering now with decent snow showers from time to time. Hopefully the showers join together to give some decent amounts.
-
Yes -1 degrees here and constant light snow - white but not amounting to anything. Interestingly blowing down the road like dust. Bed-time - see what tomorrow brings. There is a phrase "too cold for snow" which of course is rubbish...but in UK it can have an element of truth to it as our cold air is usually dry?
-
Streamers!! Just missing a good one here.
-
So when do we think we might get something heavier. Tonight, Tomorrow?
-
Yes disappointing so far - was expecting proper snow last night and didn't happen here - maybe higher up in the pennines?
Anyway some seem to think more showers soon - hope I'm not to far west.

I think some parts of the NE inland with a little elevation will see white stuff, and quite a lot on the hills. Yes maybe not at sea level and on the coast.
