I'm bloody not.I'd much rather have cold over mild despite this constant tease of snow.I just wish we had a greenland high instead of the scandinavian.

Aye, at least we got a brief taste of the white stuff, I swear the next scally that I see letting its dog turd I'm gonna rub his nose in it if he don't pick it up! Had a snowball figHt in light oaks park with daughter on way back from school and got whacked in the chops by a dirty great big mud monkey mixed in with her snowball.... Dirty heathens!

Ha ha ha found that really funny just can imagine somebody building a snowman and as it starts melting it goes brown ha ha

[SparkleS]

First time snows stopped since last night which i thought typical cause the temps now dropped from 3.1 to 2.6 but the good news is that break in the cloud has gone and the skies looking orange and its trying to snow again.

[davacr123]

For the people looking for it to come back on its self can't see it happening because of the front pushing in from the southwest

[SummerNSnow]

Here comes the Atlantic.

No likey!!

[The Yellow Snowman]

Looks like we should be getting a light snow shower in the next 20 minutes or so here according to the radar.

[UV-RAY]

Looking like we'll get some better weather from the weekend onwards, rather than the grey laden skies and temp of 1-3 by day and night. Hopefully the next cold spell will actually be cold.

Come back please come back :-)

[Interitus]

Slightly clutching at straws - but the main front is fragmented over the Irish Sea ppn being driven around by SW winds up through the Midlands - not a true rotation but interesting to watch - rain or snow? - snow given the lying cover - still light snow here near Salwick.

Ian

It is a true rotation, there is a weak low pressure centre which was over the Midlands earlier and is now over North Wales.

No i thinks thats it

Saying that sky looks odd

[itsnowjoke]

Pink tinge to it?

[Barmada Casten]

Over 4 inches here in the northern Lakes, where are you?

near ambleside atm

[Interitus]

It is disappointing that we can't get low enough temperatures to avoid a thaw in January!

Interesting, many further south are having an ice day, and similarly to the east of the Pennines where it might be expected to have some less cold air off the North Sea. Wondering if parts of the Northwest have had some slight compressional warming - a weak Fohn effect.

[pip22]

0C here according to my weather app on ipad finally!

[Weather-history]

A few light snow flakes falling again here.

[Oakwell]

Getting heaviest snow shower of the day now :-)

[SparkleS]

C'mon snow where you gone!

[greybing]

These days of endless cloudy conditions are becoming a large annoyance. I love the sun, want to see it!

No I agree,I want the sun but just for it to stay cold.Some frosty weathere would be nice.

[itsnowjoke]

The sky is very pink now whys that?

[SparkleS]

It was orange here before

lol

[Barmada Casten]

So while it appears that everyone here has had a good accumulation of snow over the last few days it would appear that I am now the only one not to see any accumulations of snow, as there are reports of depths of 4 inches in northern lakes (roughly 15-20 miles north?)

Today we have seen light snowfall with no accumulations - and now we have rainfall.

As a lover of winter and snow I am absolutely gutted.

Pink/ Orange.......It's the glow from the bbq heading this way

I hope you get something ,I really do.I suppose we still have another month or so of potential.
