Looking at the radar it's still there and not showing much sign of filling in.

Hope it does and rapidly.

We seem to be in a shadow, the Pennines to the East and Peak district hills to the south east preventing any wintry stuff reaching our parts.

This is not fair. May as well bulldoze them. Edited February 10, 2013 by DavidCameronSucks

If anything it is getting bigger. Get the feeling that precipitation this side of the Pennines is go to die out largely.

It also looks as though it has become static as well. It looked as though the colder air and the reports of snow moving closer to the region have stalled. I would have thought people in parts of Cheshire would have reported wintry stuff now if that trend was continuing but nothing.

[SnowObsessor90]

Still nothing but rain here. I knew it wouldn't snow, but still, sigh.

I have noticed a slight drop however or does that mean sod all?

[Stubbette]

Finally, a dewpoint of zero!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaand the precipitation has all gone....

[SparkleS]

Bloody freezing out there although its 3 degrees, feels much colder, slight breeze and i can see the stars lol, misty ones though with light clouds coming in and fine rain or drizzle.

at least you have sleet!

That's it for me, I'm officially throwing in the towel now.

Lets get Wednesday's downgrade out of the way and then roll on spring.

At least when we get into Summer we can look at the big greenie high and weeks of northern blocking and then say, if only these Synoptics had occurred in winter.

At least the rain is warmer in summer and extra daylight means that less lamp post watching is necessary and let's face, it can't possibly be worse than last summer.....can it.

We had a summer last year?! :o

[Backtrack]

2.8C with a DP of 0.4C and it's still raining moderately. What a joke!

[pip22]

Im looking forward for wednesday's snow event and possibly rumored tuesday's event.

Yes summer is that bit of the year where it's light when you go to bed and light when you get up again.

Occasionally it coincides with a day or so of dry, warm weather although, due to austerity measures these have been removed from all of the north of England for the next few years.

Why, have you got a fetish for downgrades and disappointment.

[jam2010]

[R.P. McMurphy]

Admire your optimism mate but I want spring sun and warmth in March, not winter attempting

what it's already had three months to get right but failed miserably at throughout.

[cheshire snow]

The Gaps are appearing because the whole system is pivoting,these gaps are starting to fill on the latest

rain today radar,ppn will come back, wether the ppn is rain or snow is open to debate,however as the system

pivits the colder uppers and DP will set in

I was out in the fields yesterday with the dogs and I've never noticed the ground so saturated. Places were in danger of becoming swamp like. We had far too much rain last year, and definately need a dry spring, average or below-average rainfall summer to dry things out. Countryfile last week had one farmer having to sell his cows because they fields were so badly soaked becoming boglike.

You remind of the dog that keeps chasing his tail in the hope that he may catch it one day, it's never going to happen
