Had Worse sorry yes my mistake it’s been a long a particularly crappy day
-
Chris.R given what happened a couple of weeks ago, it can even go belly up at t0. better waiting until t+24 to be sure what we get. Up here even today didn’t live up to the forecast. the rain arrived earlier than expected, was lighter than expected but the late afternoon clearance never materialised so the only thing that ended up as a expected was another technically mild but cold feeling sort of day to add to a long list of them over the last few months.
-
Looking at the radar, I’ll be surprised if today stays dry as long as the forecast said. Last night they were going for it to be dry until lunchtime but the speed the front is heading across the Irish Sea, I’d expect it to reach here, the very east of the region by mid morning and give us another few hours cold soaking.
-
Not a bad morning but an increasingly miserable afternoon as fine drizzle became heavier drizzle before turning to heavyish rain. It’s eased of a bit again now but still a poor day overall.
-
Plenty of talk of snow towards, and over the weekend and the charts look decent but I can’t see the air being cold enough for anything other than over ground much higher than we all live. maybe a bit of transient wet stuff but I just can’t see anything settling apart from on the highest tops. happy to be proved wrong though although even snow at my altitude will be wasted on me as I’m in low level Manchester Saturday and Sunday.
-
Dark Horse strangely enough I always use League Cup final weekend as the time when the later sunset is noticeable and with todays clear skies it’s certainly been the case. same this morning, driving down the road at just after 6.30am and it was coming light. as said, the long winter nights are behind us.
-
Scuba steve or for me spending the Saturday night low down in Manchester.
-
Unlike yesterday it’s a frosty start here this morning. Hopefully another nice day coming up.
-
Rush2019 we have a resident heron keeping an eye on the pond at work Good to see but the only problem is that there’s no fish in the pondq
-
Sunny again now so off over the border for a bit of a walk along the canal and maybe a couple of beers before we come home again.
-
Didn’t take long for the cloud to roll back in and the early brightness to disappear although if it stays dry I’ll take it. as for the outlook, Louise on BBC breakfast weather said it’s going to turn more unsettled again into next week sorry but I must have missed when it actually turned more settled at any time over the last eight months
-
Lovely start to the day although no signs of frost here. Maybe my well earned weekend lie in means it had gone before I got up but even the usual spots in the garden are green so I reckon it stayed well above freezing. A usable day coming up and I just hope that the chance of showers shown in the forecast is as low as the chances of winning millions on the lottery.
-
did it manage to fill the potholes in Heard it on the factory roof in Haslingden but only lasted a couple of minutes there. got home from work and there was still patches of white on the grass
-
Sleet at best here overnight and looks more like rain at the moment but at least it’s doing something. I was getting a bit worried yesterday when it hadn’t rained for a full couple of hours and the water pouring over the dam slipway was in danger of slowing down.
-
itsnowjoke no I don’t joke about snow don’t worry though you’re not missing much unless wet sleety crap is your thing but it’s a start
-
Snowing here at the moment. wet stuff but big flakes and starting to stick on the cars
-
Chance of a bit of high ground snow overnight, forecast thinks so and the Met app for OL13 agrees but not putting any of my my hard earned cash on it happening. certainly a colder feel this afternoon and that cloud colour that usually indicates more icy conditions.
-
Weather-history at least we now have a record as certification for what has been a largely depressing 12 months of weather. I dread to think where we would have been without the 5 weeks or so of dry and sunshine in May and June. as for the present, I thought the clearance had reached here but it’s hammering it down again now
-
Looks like the heaviest of the rain is clearing east from here now so hopefully our additional 10mm since midnight and close to 50mm in the last 24 hours won’t be added to much more.
-
Using my 2 closest EA rain gauges, 2 miles north and 3 miles to my SE it looks like we’ve had around 30mm of rain here in the last 24 hours. No other polite way to describe it other than horrible.
-
No surprise that it’s raining again. ah well, hopefully it brightens up this afternoon and maybe, just maybe a chance of a bit of snow tomorrow.
-
damianslaw fully agree with that, we had our heaviest snow of last winter in March. Late March 2013 brought one of our best snowfalls since the early 80’s and even in the decently snowy winter of 2020-21, the heaviest fall was in April. if it comes then fair enough but I just hope it’s “proper” snow and not the slushy rubbish that seems to be the form horse these days.
-
Even considering the low bar that this winters weather has set, this afternoon has been awful. not the fine rain that soaks you through, just the heavy stuff that in the end will go through the most waterproof of waterproofs. absolutely vile conditions as for Thursdays chance of a bit of wet slushy snow, no thanks; it can correct as far north or south as possible. I’ve had enough of crap and let downs and in full spring mode now.
-
trickydicky a depressing thought but probably true.

WillinGlossop our friends daughter and BF have just done all three. they weren’t keen on Cambodia but loved Laos and Vietnam, they spent Christmas and NY IN Laos.
