  1. What day was that? There has been no lying snow in Belper. Its starting to send me a bit mad. This winter is like some fiendish torture.
  2. Oh look its snowing in the west Midlands AGAIN. . This forum is becoming increasingly bad for my mental health
  3. Yes I'm from Rochdale so recognise all that. But, what I find odd about today is that, in the events you describe above, the cold air progressed east. Today, in Belper, there wasn't a problem with precipitation. It just never got cold. Even when the front had been and gone. And it remains several degrees colder 5o the west even now. Odd..
  4. It's got to be relatively unusual right? A cold front coming in from the west with the west always remaining in much colder air than the east? Odd set up for UK that right?
  5. And now it's stopped. December - several miles too east.. Early Jan - several miles too south. Today - several miles too east and south. Boo hok
  6. Belper weather update : I got very excited by a few flakes and walked up to highest ground nearby (220 metres). IKR. Sleet remains that, perhaps very wet snow in bursts. Immediately melts on any surface. It remains a winter of intense frustration locally. I realise weather is incredibly complex but why the warmer air is putting up more of a fight here than it did in the west defies my understanding. Sad, irritated face.
  7. Weather update: Still pouring down with rain in Belper. I excitedly await the first sign of sodding sleet. #notirritatedintheslightest
  8. Squall passed through a good 30 minutes ago. Why isn't the cold undercutting as quick as it apparently did in the west?
  9. I think the Gods are toying with us. Playing us East Midlanders as fools. It's all some kind of big weather conspiracy
  10. Just for the avoidance of any sodding doubt it is sodding pouring down with sodding rain in Belper
  11. It's absolutely bloody maddening. I think this winter is going to see me off
  12. SO painful to watch. Snow touching distance to the west. Painfully crawling east
  13. Do you have snow in Burton yet? Or Ashbourne? I'm trying to work out how far east its got?
  14. Irritating to be missing out AGAIN. ARGHHHHHHH I WANT TO SEE SNOW.
  15. All weather apps had and have Belper under a decent - 2 frost last night with temperatures struggling to scrape over 0 degrees today. The reality is, even on the highest 200 metre plus ground in the locality there is no ground frost to speak of. Frustrating and perplexing. Childish I know but, for someone of my age - 48, to live in modern Britain where even to get ice on high ground in January seems a desparate marginal struggle, it's like the fundamental physics of the Earth have changed! Grrr.
  16. Too mild in Belper to settle. Sleety stuff. Even on high ground, steady drip drip and very wet snow at best. Temperatures of met office seem off to me. Been on zero degrees for hours but my car, and the evidence around me, says 2 degrees
  17. Ha ha. Literally as i posted that, the Met have now downgraded the forecase to mere sleet
  18. Big upgrade for snow risks in the East Midlands this morning. Metoffice calling all snow. Could it be time for the East to strike a blow against the tyranny of this West (Midlands) dominated winter so far?! FREEDOM
  19. Ha. Cheers . Never seen the weather chart from my birthday before
  20. This west Midlands thing is starting to get a bit annoying. I'm trying not to get annoyed.
