Funny how northerlies being absolutely torrential showers after winter passes. Streamers pepping up out of nowhere as they move South and collect moisture from that famous sea in the middle of Northern England... If this was 2 months ago we wouldn't see a drop, or flake.
Last second changes for snow have always been a lottery, but something about the last couple of winters, it's always been downgrades. Genuinely awful last ~18 months of weather, probably the worst I've ever lived through.
Looks like Met Office will have to redo their warnings, definite shift to a lot of the midlands getting a period of settling snow. Now if only some extra energy can appear to move the low along.
Every single cold spell the last couple of years, the Atlantic has fired up or switched off at the worst possible time. This one if we just had a bit more energy to move it along before it draws southerlies in, it could have been a historic snowfall. Instead we are hoping for a cm or 2 in a 6 hour window.
Have to say I'm loving the current weather, not freezing in my own house and can be outdoors in comfort. My tolerance for cold without snow really is approaching zero recently.
Yeah bit of noise around 5-9pm but that was it. As for the cold spell, I didn't see a single flake of snow. Roll on warmer weather, hope we see a fat Bartlett for February.
Yeah and clinically vulnerable start dying at 24C too. The optimal temperature for humans is narrow and very boring, no I don't want 18C all year long.
