Just now, desverger2 said:
The low will continue to move East as mentioned yesterday. Always does in this situation. I think its an eastern UK event and maybe an event for no one if it continues to move east at this rate
Probably plaster the Low Countries then

The above looks excellent for Pennine areas ...
Don't think my 200m will be enough later this week but the higher hills near me at 350m should do well,precip depending !!
Sorry but with me being the eternal pessimist when it comes to snow, I’m still expecting someone else to end up pinching this from right under our noses at the last minute.

I’m sure with our crap climate, hunting for snow counts as essential travel.

Looks like our region could be in the sweet spot for some heavy snow later in the week.
still time for changes to specifics, or downgrades as we call them in our part of the country but it’s looking good for now and probably the first time since before lockdown that those darn sarf would sell their granny for what the Northwest is inundated with.

It's coming
At 2000 feet it should be cold enough for snow in any showers around later in the week but interestingly Thursday is showing snow for me which, although still high for a populated area is only half as high ASL so at least the hills should have some festive white on them by the end of the coming week.
just need to wait for operation downgrade to commence now.

Not-getting-light-properly season is here. I did see the moon peeking through the clouds yesterday evening though, so there is hope of a break.
This time next week the moon will be shining down on thick snow........hopefully

Opened the curtains to the same grotty weather than we closed them to yesterday.
what a let down from a weekend that at least promised some usable weather for putting outside Christmas lights up.
never mind though it certainly won’t be the first time I’ve been wet this year and it probably won’t be the last.

A North / South divide in the NW region today it seems, it's been dark and miserable here with persistent although not heavy rain all day. A day to stay indoors and the street lights will soon be on, given the lack of light. Yuk!
Yep, damp first thing but then light rain and drizzle throughout the day since and it never really got light.
as you say Yuk

Great to see yet another weekend day ruined by weather which can be only described as crap.

Nothing here unfortunately, the northern hemisphere is shaping up quite differently to last Winter so the chances of a decent cold spell look a lot better so I'm quite hopeful. Living by the coast and very flat isn't great so a proper cold spell is always our best chance. I'm just wondering whether we could end up with an early taste of Winter next week with a real mixed bag of rain, hail, sleet & snow showers if this pattern could edge that bit further east?
Let’s hope so.
I know cold, snowy weather doesn’t suit everyone but it would be a lot feel a lot more festive and if severe enough may even override Boris’s ego and shut the damn schools early and help get the Coronavirus figures down.
As for the current; it’s a cloudy, damp, breeze start here.
not festive but certainly in sync with the time of year and current feel of things.

Despite being in a valley it's a funny location here for fog as we just don't seem to get it. I know places lower down get it more around west and south Manchester & Cheshire. And the hill tops on the Pennines. We're in between those areas so tend to miss out on most of it. Watch this in the morning I will wake up to dense fog.
What the Pennine tops get is low cloud rather than fog but it’s a similar situation around here as well.
3 or 4 miles lower down the valley gets a lot more fog than we do and half a mile up the road and 3 hounded feet higher is often shrouded in cloud when it clear at home.

Weather warning issued for parts of the region for Fog overnight and into tomorrow morning.Met office written text suggesting a overnight low of -4c,areas that are effected by fog could well be close to an ice day tomorrow with effected areas only predicted ahigh of 2 or 3c.Take care if travelling later or tomorrow.
C.S
Usually fog is something we don’t get a lot of here as we are way up the valley with the fog tending to settle lower down towards the northern edge of Manchester and the warning area pretty well sums it up.
TBH I always feel a bit disappointed when I see a weather warning and then find out it’s for fog or ice; a bit like being offered a can of beer and then finding its supermarket own brand crap

Going to school in the highest town in Lancashire during the late 60’s and throughout the 70’s there were days where heavy snow meant that those who relied on buses could finish early but us who only relied on feet alone always stopped until the death.
i can’t remember having a single day off due to bad weather but times and attitudes change so during a particularly snowy spell in Jan 2010 my daughter had a full week off from high school.

I'm a bit of a humbug when it comes to decorations going up pre-December. If anyone has watched the Christmas Grumpy Old Men programmes, you'll understand.
I also find it a bit 'off' having Christmas trees up when it's so mild......another reason for wanting seasonal/festive weather.
I agree but I’m beginning to think that one of the more unusual symptoms of lockdown and to much time in the house is thinking that Christmas trees and lights can go up far to early.
it’s certainly had that effect on my missus as she used to be in the up Christmas Eve and back down Boxing Day camp but not this year.
at least she’s held back from switching the damn things on yet

Shocking that mate, same as next door Christmas started last week!
Some around here usually start in October but we’ve always been first week in December and then back in their boxes first week in Jan.
that said bonfire night seems to start around the summer solstice these days

Finally stopped here about 3 o’clock but never really brightened.
it not often we get a quick clearance from a front though, it seems to stick to the tops so everything remains damp long after the rain stops but at least it has and hopefully Sunday promises the weather for the outside job I really wanted to sort today.
never mind, at least we spent the time putting the Christmas trees up....in November.
sorry but not my idea...........bah humbug

Lucky Cheshire. Rained ALL morning here.
Same here in East Lancs, started about mid morning and not stopped since......depressing

A thoroughly depressing days weather.
not much else to say really but the weekend promises something a bit better, just hope it delivers on its promises.

Can’t wait for the shortest day and the slow return to lighter nights.
IMO it’s the worst thing about winter, even worse than endless mild and wet when it could be cold and snowy.

Surprisingly perhaps, after early heavy showers, we now have blue skies and bright sunshine over the last hour. But will it last I wonder?
We had a bit of sunshine a while back but it’s mainly showery here and raining at at the moment.

Models seem to have had a change of mind this morning (nothing new) still a very brief cold shot with wintry/snow showers over high ground.Friday looks the coldest day of the week with Max temperature in the 5-7c range,even into the weekend temperatures still not probably recovered with 8-9c looking to be the max.
C.S
I suppose it’s a bit more seasonal though.

Beefy squally showers coming through here at the moment, setting the scene for what is looking like a day of frequent showers and only limited dry and bright.
a day for inside jobs I imagine

My daughter and I cut short a weekend in Llandudno due to storm Ciara, just stayed for one night on the 9th February. Wind howled around the hotel all night long. Roads into Rhyl were flooded. Managed to get to the zoo in Colwyn Bay, spent half an hour staring at a turtle in the tropical house, just to thaw out. It sleeted, it hailed, the wind was wild. Then the following weekend storm Dennis paid a visit.
Thankfully Dennis didn’t dump as much on us as Ciara did but I know other parts suffered quite badly.
it was certainly a wet couple of weeks and I hope to god that this winter doesn’t follow the same theme although the default for recent years seems to be plenty of rain but little snow and frost.

Yeah I’ll take a period of frost leading towards Christmas.
Some snow would be nice for the main course but cold and sunshine will do for starters.
