Have you given up?

Tonights ECM a one of?or is something in the pipeline?

for me 28th Feb is the point of no return(apart from March 2013)

C.S 

Not yet no but I shouldn't be driving round in the car today with window down and only a t-shirt on, crazy. Don't get me wrong I love the warm weather but not in Jan when wanting snow. Only glancing at the models lately as they are so rubbish. The strat isn't playing ball either, every chart seems to be 240 onward.

I will give up mid march.

[itsnowjoke]

Yes mid March is my cut off point too

While everyone is moaning on,  there's potential for snow on Saturday, keeps showing up on the gFs and look at the 528 line on the fax chart. It won't last but worth keeping an eye on.

Well so far the rain shadow effect is coming into play for this area, I hope it does nt end up being dry and dull all day. Winds are very strong though, everyone's bins sailing down street lol.

[ManiaMuse]

Manchester rain shadow working its magic again today.

[Liam J]

Horrendous morning!! Very wet & wild, not fit for venturing outside... 

[Mountain Snow]

Horribly reminiscent of December this morning. Wind and rain lashing the house. February's going to have to be pretty special to save this winter!

In other words, a normal day in "winter" 2015/16....

[dodge]

Dry as bone here, but we'll get some drizzle at some point today.  The GM rain shadow will probably allow us that. Gusty winds.... as for weekend cold rain will replace mild rain...that's as far as my glass of wintry optimism is being topped up.

[Lake District Blizzards]

diabolical day here

 

only 2 days have been worse this winter - 5th december (desmond) and storm frank

[SparkleS]

been quite fierce winds all night now we have the heavy rain too! 

[SparkleS]

I did yesterday to a few people met office had removed the warning over lancashire http://www.lep.co.uk/news/local/snow-need-to-fear-jonas-as-he-hits-the-uk-1-7696845

[Backtrack]

I'd be so angry if it was cold enough for snow. The mountains are making short work of this 'ex-storm'. Rain shadow effect in full force. It's been dry all day here. Enjoy your rain everyone haha!

[Mokidugway]

Utter crap weather this just so mongooseing deppressing

Did you not read the news article ? Lancashire no warning now.... Although weve had wind and rain here all morning but the rain has stopped now. However raintoday shows differant http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile

[Chris.R]

 Another dry, bright, windy day.  Just like with Desmond and Frank the rain shadow is in full effect.   Nothing out of the  ordinary wind-wise yet. 

[Chris.R]

Lovely and sunny here now...it's like a spring day. 

[Mokidugway]

60  mph gusts rain has stopped ,awful 

 

[Summer Sun]

2 inches (50mm) of rain in Keswick between 6am and lunchtime not good

[dodge]

Grey leaden skies, strong gusty winds, but only spits & spots of rain throughout the day.

[Chris.R]

Looks like I was lucky to get some sunshine today then. Quite a bit actually.

[Miamay]

Not a bad day - few spots of rain, windy and got brighter as day went on.  

[itsnowjoke]

Winds have died down and rain has stopped is that it I was hoping to get a storm .....

[itsnowjoke]

Judging by the lack of people on here I guess not lol

[pip22]

It is actually quite calm and quite wet here with some sun end of day. Just a typical rainy day.

I woke up at 10:30am so I slept through the worst most likely.
