As expected here today, cold rain with a tiny bit of sleet so not too disappointed in the outcome, but it has been a pretty grim day to be out there. Having a scan around twitter it's good to see some areas getting a decent amount and it didn't seem too wet either in that it made the trees nice and white and wasn't slushy either which is nice. I need to move to somewhere with elevation!

Not feeling this one, especially in this immediate location. Temps are very marginal and this comes in after a pretty mild spell so no real prolonged period of embedded cold (or even cool weather) either (ground temps etc)... that combined with the M60 snow shield makes me pessimistic. Should be good for some of the region though for a bit.... some interest is better than no interest.

Definitely a radar few days coming up... will be utterly surprised if decent parts of the region don't see at least something white falling, even got my hopes up for the M60 snow shield letting something through. In any case, in winter if I can't have snow, cold, clear, sunny and frosty days are second to that. Today was beautiful and a refreshing change to the grey we've had for an eternity.

It was always looking to breakdown by next weekend, even if there was hope the models will evolve into something longer as they were so far out - still might. We're lucky, it normally flips to something from the Atlantic by now and we lose it all together - it's still going to be very cold and there is still the potential for something to happen at short notice to make it more interesting.

Popped it on for an hour to take the chill and damp off the air. Probably could have survived with a jumper on, but it was more about the damp really...

Models still look poor..... WIO -
I only really read the outputs from the models and see the lack of cold weather ahead.... is there anything buried in there that could change this or are we down for a pretty boring two weeks ahead come Monday?

Was out and about yesterday but Glossop seemed to have the least, pavements and roads pretty much all clear at lunchtime... Didn't catch the event so guessing they were on the fringes of the snowfall. Expected more in that area but had less than city centre, anyone know why? -

Pretty bad out there already - snow that has had footfall and turned to slush is hard already and where it's compacted is very dangerous. Roads that are clear glistening with frost too. Going to be tricky in the morning. -

hopefully something bubbles up out of nowhere overnight and surprises me in the morning - we've had the rain falling last night and now its cold enough it dries up, but it was so marginal it almost came off
