Haha ive just posted in the south east thread as i looked on raintoday tomsee if thise showers in scotland earlier were heading down this way, its completely bone dry in the north, not to one shower on the radar, but a load has suddenly popped up in the south east, i dont think they expected it, anyway they have snow falling, lucky buggars! Lol its really cloudy here and sunshine but bone dry.

 

Yeah due to the position of the high the SE now has the coldest air and Scotland and Ireland the mildest and driest. I've been following their thread, a few were wondering if some showers would pop up as -9/-10C 850s are forecast to clip the area. Good luck to them.

It was probably the sign of impending doom! Dull Grey and drizzle in Oldham currently, which will make waist of the remaining snow cover up here :) . Typical misserable NW fayre tbh.

...as usual our weather benign dullness is paying dividends elsewhere...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-31146535

 

UK High come back in spring/early summer please...not now! (I would say mid summer but then it would just be too hot)

 

Not sure why the North West cold spell last week is still trending in the BBC's most read stories of the day?

The weather looks positively boring for the foreseeable future!! Hate stagnant areas of high pressure (OK in Summer)  The models are showing it hanging around right out to FI!! It's winter the weather should be interesting/cold/snowy/stormy and not a borefest....  :wallbash:

Left work with 5c and light rain but 6 miles home and a couple of hundred feet higher it was 2.5c and sleet.

It didn't last long though and now it's 2.2c and drizzle.

And todays less cold conditions (sorry but can't bring myself to use the m word) mean that most of my lying snow as now disapeared.

I'm slowly starting to give up now even if it is only 5th Feb, the crappy boring pattern still being modeled takes us til mid month, so not much of a snow window left after that! So frustrating after so much promise at the start of this winter with many factors supposedly in our favour. So far I've had about 2 hours of lying snow in the dark and 1 day of snow/hail showers which left a 2mm covering only to melt 5 mins later. So basically sh%$e yet again!

 

PS And I also hate the Gulf Stream in the winter!!! :nonono:

PPS You can bet your bottom dollar though when rain is forecast EVERYBODY gets it, torrential too!
