Well behind my house is Hawkhurst head at 1050ft which offers panoramic views like this.

Or there's Combs Moss in chapel-en-le-frith, also on the same Manchester-Buxton line where you can see panoramas like this.

Were spoilt for choice in the Dark Peak.

Looks stunning SJ.

I think I will have a journey over on half term. :)

Manchester airport closed.

Leeds/Bradford airport closed.

Birmingham airport closed.

All taxis suspended in Leeds.

Who's up for a trip to Yorkshire?!

I'm so jealous now! I need to move to the Central Lakes I think to get away from this snow starved coast. :sorry:

Might have a drive inland tomorrow and see what snow delights greet me.

it will be gone by tomorrow

Really contemplating a train to Buxton! Right at the foot of the Peak District, armed with my camera, I could snap up some very nice photos!

You know you want to, would say it would be a great day to be out and about around there tomorrow.

Think I shall go for a walk too tomorrow, Shuttlingsloe usually pretty good for great views.

The top 4 posters of the day so far are the ones that have no snow, excluding Happy Days.

In summary of my earlier post. There appears to have been a pocket of mild-ish air at roughly 3,000ft or 900hPa. It was around +4C, so this was readily melting the snow before it reached the ground:

It looks like thats the last bits of it though.

Hopefully a good frosty night tonight and then 4 inches of crisp snow to get out in tomorrow and then possibly more top ups in the next few days.

Hello you guys again,

Been following activity of this thread all day today so I thought I will have a post. A bit disappointed we had no snow in Liverpool at all today considering how cold it has been, but I did get that freezing rain which still made it interesting. Everywhere outside my house including walls and car windows are glazed in ice - it seemed like one of those North American style ice storms - you don't get that to often in Liverpool - We even have icicles aswell.

A question for you - why did we get zero snow today considering the low temperatures and dew points below freezing for most of the day - even with the heavier PPN? Considering how cold this spell is going, I would really like a good chance of snow in my part of the world - yes snow can be pretty rare in Liverpool considering our close proximity to the warm Irish Sea but in 2010 and 2011 we did well - really well for this part of the world I would say.

Anyway does anyone think that this cold spell could potentially exceed December 2010 for severity - looking at some of the temperatures over the UK and nearby Mainland Europe I would say its certainly possible - -11C or -12C in the SE of England and just over the North Sea in Holland around -20C yes I know they are closer to the continental landmass but I don't remember Amsterdam being as cold as that in December 2010 - they must be having thier coldest start to February since at leas 1963 if not 1947! So if the Easterly wind continues it certainly isn't going to be warm and I want to see some snow to make the cold spell worthwhile!

Luke

Just had to leave my car and walk never had to do that before, possibly 8 inches of snow and drifts of a couple of feet minimum on road out of Macclesfield currently -2 and still snowing but slightly lighter now. Will have to go and get my car on the morning and hope no one sees me!

Next time I look outside I expect there'll be stars twinkling instead of white stuff falling from the sky. http://www.sat24.com/gb

Then we will get a nice frost then but I really do want our turn for snow to come - I was expecting it today so I am a bit disappointed we had Freezing Rain and ice pellets all day when it should have been cold enough for the white stuff!

Just been outside for a quick measure of the snow, 12cm in a sheltered spot, 7cm on the lawn. Seems to be a bit sleety out there now, cant complain though we've had a good snowfall and looks like there will be a frost tonight for most people. Ice will be a big problem tomorrow morning, fortunately not many people have to go anywhere.

gutted for you mate but im aware what a rotten areas the west of NWEnglnd is for snow.

If i lived there i would defo be moving further east and higher up.

The thing is though, this is one of those setups which we tend to do relatively well from and yet it's ballsed up big time. A pretty dreadful day from my point of view - a complete waste of a golden opportunity.

I might take a sabbatical from the forum for a few days, else I think I'll go insane. Never mind Southampton - I'm finding it hard right now to see places like Rome and Marseille covered in snow.

Gutted.
