  1. It's not really a surprise there is a bit of flip-flopping from run to run at this time of year; March is a bit of a wild card and usually throws a bit of everything at us. A difficult month to pin down anything conclusively more than a few days out.
  2. Going sleety/rainy now. Doesn't look like I'll be seeing scenes like this again, this time. 04/03/16
  3. Heaviest falling snow since.....March 4th last year! Won't beat that though, hours and hours of continuous snow resulting in more than 2 inches accumulating and subzero temperatures even in mid afternoon.
  4. Really is quite heavy now, starting to settle on all surfaces.
  5. Just sat in my living room in complete darkness and silence watching it come down. Strangely relaxing and therapeutic.
  6. Heavy snow in Stockport, settling on cars and grass.
  7. Strange day, no frost on my car this morning despite being comfortably below freezing, a very February-esque "dry cold" feel, with laden grey skies and a raw wind. Out of the wind, it felt strangely comfortable given the actual temperature, but it was bitter in it. Reminded me more of Feb 2013 than December 2010, here at least.
  8. I wonder how many Woodford had before it's closure. That was a frost hollow that could record some really low temperatures.
  9. Much more snow now, but the sea ice looks a sorry state. Link?
  10. I can do well here from NW winds, in fact some of my biggest falls of snow have come from the NW, polar maritime flows. Early November, though, would probably just bring rain and feel raw.
  11. Agreed. All this talk and excitement of a cold spell in...early November. Like you said, I'd prefer it to wait for another two weeks and arrive mid month, but that's just me being picky. Ultimately, the weather will do what it wants and if we can get a few flakes and frosts out of it it will be better than nothing. My preferred window for proper cold is mid November to Mid March, as it can be severe at any time during that four-month period. Yes, it can get cold and snowy outside of that, but it's normally a bit half hearted, bar exceptional stuff like March 2013, which was colder in the second half.
