Make a change from never having weather warnings in this area now :-p

looks like an unusually small / focused area for a warning

Amazing resilience

Not too surprising given it hasn't gone above 5-6C since the snow fell and the weak sun / short daylength!

Temperatures in Leek since the snow below; not gone above 4.5C, but you're a bit lower in elevation so probably didn't climb over 5.5C yesterday, mildest day of the month so far there.

I should have made a snow pile in the garden just after the snow fell to see how long it would last, but maybe another chance in this winter to do that.

Very cold and frosty earlier today.

I went walking this morning and even the grass puddles had frozen over, but we were rewarded with a rare blue sky

Chance of sleet tonight for a while ?

At 4pm I was at 1.1c…..7pm I’m now at 2.0c, dews at 1.3c….so no chance of seeing anything wintry here…..I’m hoping for winter to return a few days before the big day

I think the north of our region could see a short spell of wintryness

 

yes returns

Great from Sunday, looks like sky on fire, @bearing Rob, our snow was great!

Sorry to say but the Dew Points ani’t having any of your hopes I’m afraid 

It’s a couple of weeks of Mild Depression for now on , then hopefully heightening to the NorthWest Atlantic/ Blocking, may bring hopes of a Northerly just before Christmas Day

Rapidly warming up now after a day of frost patches and ice and a few bits of remaining snow.

EC 46 anomalies for Christmas week….Northerly is showing one’s hand

The upcoming weekend looks to be very wet indeed, but looking much more pleasant from next week onwards (mild and sunny).

I know it was leaning more towards the low probablity, but the weather warning was no ore than a damp squib, ithe rivers are high, its been wet but no more so than any other rainy day, puddles yes - surface water flooding no, just lots of stuff on local media ( and hence picked up by news feeds) with "live blogs" about the rain.

 Apparently we are facing a wall of snow as well (?) if the same news sites are to be beleived.

certainly didn't need a warning for Lichfield/King's Bromley, they were in warning, SE of Stoke

Only 3mm of rain here over the last 24 hours, still a miserable day with no sunshine.
