[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

Backtrack, he's just being realistic.....it's clear for us all to see that we will not get snow out of this, the upper ir is just too warm

Perhaps, but I've just been reading the MOD, he is more bias than Ian Brown!

[gearbox1002]

Backtrack you're faith in cold and snow is admiral, but the truth is you will be bald if you follow the charts every time they say cold.

Truth is in the main in most areas it never comes off. The last two events kinda good examples.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

im looking forward to the freezing rain :lol:

I'll think you'll find it's more a case of being realistic at what as been a truly awful winter. The fact is I just want too see this winter end now, that doesn't make me a mild ramper, just someone fed up at the dross we have had to endure.

Yes, but you're expecting the ECM to drop the northerly when there is fantastic support from the 500mb anomaly charts for a North/NE based wind direction for the remainder of Feb!

UKMO still going for a Northerly, GP still going for cold.

I think you hoping winter will end is making you a bit delirious. When you eventually do get snow, you'll wish it was here for another month.

[Cheshire Freeze]

FWIW the snow isn't that far away but it may aswell be 500 miles, as it doesn't look like getting any closer

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

I think bt is a mildy in disguise all this i'll shave this off if it snows when there is no chance. heres one for ya... If i wake up tomoz and we have a dumping i will shave my head, eyebrows and facial hair. i'll even extend the range to lunchtime. so if we have a dumping by lunchtime i will shave my head, eyebrows and facial hair

Teleconnections are not infallible, remember we are but a tiny island, and as such a hundred miles means the difference between an hit and a miss.

And the only one delirious is yourself, with your constant bigging up events that fail to materialise. Do you cry wolf a lot BT?

The latest Manchester Airport METAR mentions sleet. I notice that a couple of members are reporting that is snowing now in Leeds.

It's not called crying wolf mate, it's called learning.

Backtrack has gone crazy, worried at the thought of having no eyebrows and is lying in the middle of the fast lane praying for snow to head to Runcorn

Well, I know most of us wern't really having this event but I've got to say this is the dampest of all damp squibs. Its horrible out there. Been raining here most of the day. Not freezing rain just bogstandard cold rain. Hideous.

[Stratocumulus perlucidus]

we still have rain here and it still freezing i think. There is icycles everywhere. and the washing line is half an inch thicker

[UV-RAY]

It was freezing here earlier, but now just plain old rain. It appears that freezing rain is sporadic throughout the region, a nightmare to forecast, and to travel on. Edited February 9, 2012 by Seven of Nine

[SparkleS]

Thats 3 times the warnings have been updated today and that weather map has showed snow on it all day? http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html hmmn?

Damn it http://www.snow-forecast.com/maps/dynamic/uk

[gearbox1002]

It's just shifted east the warnings during the day, we seem to just be out of the blob. It's raining here, some ice on fences. Nothing major just damp.
