Looking like more of the region could see something falling later today and overnight but I’d expect here to still be to far east for anything. another damn cold winters day to come though, great to be out and about in it but working so no chance. Plenty of chance to get out at weekend in the wind and rain though

It’s unusual for us to be up there amongst the cold spots but today has been a proper old fashioned ice day. -6c at 10am with a maximum of -2.5c. Coming home in the car it was already showing -6c at 5 o’clock and -5-5c on my thermometer when it got home so could we reach minus double figures…….unlikely but not out of the question and even if it doesn’t, these are some of the lowest temperatures I’ve seen at home since late February 2018 As you say, icicles everywhere including hanging from the car, again something I haven’t seen since the BFTE and some of last nights snow is still on the main roads. a decent cold snap.

Maybe ended up with a couple of inches at best here which for eight hours continuous snow, isn’t a great effort but up here, little if any has thawed so probably plenty of ice in the morning. In the meantime, maybe a top up of snow in the next few hours as that front slowly heads south but not expecting anything much.

At the moment the showers are coming in on a very slight north of west angle and we are right at the northern edge of the heavier ones but if the same angle is maintained then the larger area currently over the Irish Sea should be heading across Lancashire in the next couple of hours. we’ve still managed a covering though, maybe a cm which is as much as I was expecting by this time and at the moment, everything falling is settling.

Missus has decided to watch this new Love Island crap, more plastic in the VILLAH than in a credit card factory. personally I’d sooner watch weeks of endless south westerlys and torrential drizzle but maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned anyway early start with the snow shovel in the morning so off to bed enjoy your snow

As already said, a massive contradiction between the snow warnings shown on Wednesday and Thursday to the sunny skies and bone dry shown on the app. the only thing that gives a chance of snow here is the cold temperatures being modelled but this could end up being the least snowy snow warning ever issued.

Aye it’s probably just a need to see it once from us. Thailand and the wider far east, maybe we’ll be back again in the future. we were on the point of booking a cruise from Sri Lanka back to Jordan in April but I don’t fancy paying a fortune to run the gauntlet through the Gulf at Yemen or risk it being cancelled at the last minute so that will have to wait until things calm down again.
