Met app for my postcode ties in with the timing of the charts shown although is still only giving sleet rather than snow but it’s a start, that’s until the usual southerly adjustment happens and we end up just north of anything interesting. not the best of prospects for today unless drizzle is your thing but equally nothing overly heavy.

Looks like a decent days weather coming up for the region, more so the further north you are but listening to the wind, the mild temperatures will no doubt be tempered by the gusty conditions. a usable day though. edit, we’ll that’s a definite fail on the part of the radar, nothing at all showing but looked out and we’ve got horizontal steady rain, not even drizzle, full blown rain so much for my useable day coming up

BBC forecast mentioned it getting colder next week and talked about snow but then put more specifics on the geography and gave much of England a kick where it hurts by saying less cold here and probably cold rain and this is backed up by the Met app for here which hasn’t got a flake in sight as far as it goes out. can’t beat a bit of cold rain

Bright but a chilly raw feel just about sums up todays conditions with some lovely pink colours in the sunset tonight. as for the excitement building about next weeks snow chances. thankfully we are into February with the noticeable lengthening of daylight so, while I’m not in full blown spring mode, I am at that point where I can take or leave a snowy spell so no major disappointment from me if a threatened blizzard ends up being downgraded into a 14c southerly breeze at the last moment. that said though, the charts look good but if a week is a long time in politics, it’s a lifetime in current UK forecasting.

Up here in my part of the the Pennines, it’s got to be February 1979. A cold and snowy month throughout and sandwiched between a cold and snowy January and at times a wintry March. The most severe blizzards were around mid month and exposed roads around these parts spent more time blocked than open and although areas further south and lower down saw milder air and rain encroach at times, up here we saw virtually nothing but snow from New Year until mid March. I was barely a toddler in 1963 so easily the most severe winter I can remember.

@Rush2019 my 7.5c must be up there with the coldest spots in the UK today then but Scotland will still be in the prime spot for any snow on offer tomorrow while we will no doubt be just the wrong side of marginal there is only our region that can have a cold day when record breaking mild is on offer and be mild when a decent spell of cold and snow is about

@Joe Snow saw that on the bbc forecast this morning and they mentioned it installing so someone could end with a thoroughly wet day. l wouldn’t be surprised to see an warning issued tomorrow for somewhere in the region. they also mentioned a chance of snow across high ground but then showed temperatures that away from Cumbria and the North Pennines were far to high for anything other than rain so unless you are on the top of the Lakeland summits or Cross Fell, I think it’s just going to be wet day.

Another “mild” day that feels anything but. we walked the mile or so to MIL’s with her shopping and my fingers were numb with cold then quickly followed by sore with the 30c that she always seems to have her flat at. no chance of our house ever getting that warm, certainly not until Mother Nature does it for us in the summer but the heating will have to go on for an hour to get the chill off.

A cloudy, murky morning but a bit of sunshine since then although it’s limited and better described as bright rather than sunny. An improvement on the cloudy wet and windy we’ve seen for most of the week though and as already said, usable conditions for being outside. this mornings 8c hardly felt mild in the cloud, hopefully a degree or so more this afternoon will feel better if the sun keeps making an appearance.
-
As already said, a wild few hours overnight with the wind howling through the trees outside. I don’t remember hearing much in the way of heavy rain though, just the wind but we have just had a short but sharp hail shower rattling against the windows. Other than snow, this is the type of weather conditions I always associated with winter when growing up, instability and hail showers. hopefully a quick clearance though with a better day coming up.
