 I wish, the windchill was way too cold on Saturday for what I was prepared to endure for 6 hours after getting a taste of it over Whaley Moor, which isn't too far from Taxal Edge but a easier 1hr round-walk from the back-door.

[Chris.R]

9.1°C

[Frigid]

Went from -5c to 9c today. A large temp delta, feels much milder now

[Chris.R]

I can see three Potential frontal snow events in the next 10 days on GFS 18 Z. A distinct sinusoidal pattern to the heights and temperature in the next few weeks. Whatever happens it’s going to be a fun ride.

[weatherobsuk]

The majority of snow-cover locally has all but melted with the occasional patches left to thaw on the gardens, more noticeable is the wind that's picked up over the past 2 hours and currently gusting at 43/49mph.

[Iceaxecrampon]

00z has ppn further S 

Slight downgrade this run only a transient event

Although Cheshire looking at poss 3hrs ppn early hours  - Friday reload looking weak.

More runs needed!!!

Good effort - nice a Gnarly and the spindrift.

Wonder his cam batteries didn't pack up - you know it's cold when your water bottle freezes up.

[severe snowstorm]

A damp, overcast and mild morning. Metoffice still being vague about snow chances on Thursday and Friday, just stating rain and snow sweeping through so clearly still uncertainty.

[dodge]

Always feel you have to get the cold in first for the best snowfalls.. perfect example being that innocuous spell of snow which trundled down from the North West on Sunday afternoon and pepped up leaving a winter wonderland in its wake.  Cold before, during and after...perfect.

Today its a mild day in November...so drizzle all the way then. 

[Rush2019]

Yep, grey damp and mild 9° here, not pretty to look at but safe on the roads and under foot.  Lots of lying snow still on the Cat and on the Flash web cams.  Can't  see hills above Macc, blotted out with mist/fog.

Just walked into Glossop vaccination centre on off chance of getting booster… as not busy managed to get it woohoo  

only came out to get Christmas tree next door 

[Rush2019]

Still plenty of snow to be seen on the Flash webcam this pm.

[East Lancs Rain]

Not been on here for ages as I don’t usually post at this time of year but I had to share pics of Sunday’s snow. The forecast was for a dry sunny day but to my surprise it snowEd all morning leaving quite a deep covering.

Saturday night was wild with strong winds but also unusually cold for a wind storm as it was coming from the north with pieces of snow battering against the window.

 

Today a very different day, overcast with light drizzle and much milder, currently 8.4°C with westerly breeze, more of a typical winter day. It’s not even 4 pm and it’s already dark, ugh.

Utterly miserable dark day before Christmas kind of day. The type that plagues the run in to Christmas thanks to the mild gunk that a westerly/ south westerly flow brings. It's dark now! Come back polar air all is forgiven.. thank goodness it's back tomorrow!

Had to Google it and its pronunciation, aptly it rhymes with bleak, that will help me to remember it, always learning, it could be a pub quiz winning answer.  Thanks.

Strangely, we had a nice afternoon, dry and fairly bright with odd glimpses of the sun. Quite clear at the moment as the sun goes down.

I really, really hate not living up a hill. 

[Frost HoIIow]

Complete contrast today, no snow left and much milder. Looking at the models I think reliable is only 3-4 days in advance, anything after is just pure conjecture really as it seems the models are having a hard time grasping things with the unusual atmosphere and a weak Atlantic. We are certainly not in a default zonal position. 

[weatherobsuk]

I had a bit of a wander around this afternoon to assess the local damage post-storm Arwen, a few tree's down and isolated flooding from the rapid snow-melt overnight but overall the majority of tree's are still standing. A high of 9.4'c making it feel pleasantly mild out there compared to the past 3 days.

On days like these, I really hate living up a hill, snow has gone and drizzlefest is back

[captaincroc]

Hey up all.

Sorry I missed all the fun of the past few days but literally been out my house for nearly all the time...hence why this little snow feature was a last min surprise.  I promised I would help my friend out at her stall at Bollington Light Switch on...and it bloody snowed and looked gorgeous! Proper snow, no slush...Santa even popped in to say Hi.

My drive home was less fun as wasn't aware it was worse here than Bollington, the road it took my included a hideous, rural road with no gritting so my poor Campervan was skidding around.  Got home to a winter wonderland...only a couple of inches but as it stuck everywhere it looked stunning.

Anyways, back in for the ride of the winter...I can see the models are already having some fun and games! haha

Hope you are all well.
