How ironic I have to wait until March too see the heaviest falls of snow of the winter, granted it may only be 4cm but after the shocker of a winter which proceeded this I'm more than happy. Temps haven't risen above freezing since before lunchtime, resulting in powdery snow blowing around in shaded areas away from the any sun.

At work, same weather as everyone else it seems - beautiful blue skies one minute then heavy horizontal snow the next (interspersed with lighter snow drifting down). Teperature -1.8 (was -2.8 not long ago) with a winchill of -7 (was -9). Not much lying but it's not melting easily. Nearest weather station provided the figures:

This is a really remarkable day for March, I don't think I've seen the likes of it before - a different sort of day to March 2006 in Dundee when we had heavy snow allthrough a Saturday night into Sunday. cool.pngcold.gif

We've been unlucky here. Just a few flakes falling every now and again. Managed to miss most of everything!

Isnt it funny that when we have high pressure around greenland we get this epic cold in march . In my opinion this is what we have being missing for all winter . This winter would have being great if we had the same pressure thats around now because those 4 failed eastleys would of most probarly happened if we had these synoptics . Just think how good this winter could have being

Well we keep getting completely whiteout blizzards that couldnt even see the lampost a few yards away! Never seen anything like it apart from when i lived in oldham and each time we get more snow sticking but not enough to cover the roads and pavements but would do if we didnt get the wind with it, then its back to blue skies, temp not been above 1 degree all day. Theres still snow cover on grass and trees and path to the house and cars coming down the road.

Returned back to Oldham. Noticely a little more settlig here, nothing major but one side of the road as a little covering of fine white snow, and the other side exposed to the wind has mini drifts up to kerbside. Shows you the strength of wind. Very bitter feeling.

You have been unlucky, i live about 20 miles north of you and we have had quite alot of snow this winter.

Just a dusting here, but I'm impressed on how those showers made it over the Pennines with ease, and I'm impressed more so by the clarity and temperature of this airmass.

Frequent heavy snow showers throughout the day, interspersed with warm sunshine, overall, a top day. 0.1C now too.

This is the best easterly of this year so far!! smile.png The showers are still coming right now!!

Tonight is going to be perfect conditions for temps to go down well below zero, roughly around -7 to -10 in rural areas.

Last time we had a good easterly was in 25th Dec 2004.

I was wondering what it was like up in Oldham given how bad it was at my low location -I'm moving to somewhere in Oldham so it crossed my mind. Edited by greybing

Can't add a lot to what has already been said about today's weather.

Lots of sun and bits of snow with heavier showers later in the afternoon.

Temperatures were already at - 2.5c before the sun set and it's now down to -3.3c so could easily beat last nights low.

Only good thing about this time of year is that scraping the ice off the car can take place in daylight.

Still more showers on the radar,perhaps lasting until midnight

all in all what a day,just a shame the showers were only 10-15 mins in duration,but wow did they pack

a punch,blizzard conditions at 57m ASL not bad for March
