Ugh... It's a Cold High,.

It got down to -2C here and a low dew point of -7.5C

Yep, can see from the local webcams Buxton is pretty bad (or good) ! Would imagine there is a fair bit up Shutlins being over 500m high. I'm still undecided where I will go, Teggs Nose, Shuts or Buxon... Argh!

Yep, I know exactly what you mean, although I'm an early bird, i'll be there before 7am, I doubt anyone else will be (Hopefully)... Was just looking at Shutlingsloe just now, is it deep there?

Thanks Martin, Might give that one a shot, great pictures by the way. Just been looking and it appears Teggs Nose is full of deep snow ?

Aye, I think you are right - not sure I know any dog trails though around Buxton. Been Teggs Nose, Macc Forest etc.

How deep are we talking ?

Anyone know what the Peak District is like ? Looking for somewhere with deep snow to take the dog for a walk tomorrow?

Ta, going to leave it until Sunday, as Saturday Night for that area looks decent.

Think some of you need to take a step waaaaay back instead of analysing each run and taking it as Gospel. Read Fergie's post..

Will, thats really nice, where is that - is it suitable for dogs ? Edit - Realise where it is now, wanted to do that a few weeks ago - is it full of snow ? If so, i'll do that circular walk tomorrow.

Ace! Can't wait to come up there this weekend !

Buxton / Littleton etc all buried: http://www.derbyshireheritage.co.uk/Menu/webcams/camlist.php

Yes, well said. Some are picking up on a potential breakdown, albeit the ens don't really agree. I would try to focus on getting the cold in place first though, before looking for the end on charts 10 days away.

Great Pictures PM, looks lovely. I'm sure I have walked through there with the dog.

Ah Jo, it will come ! It's not often these features come along, but I can imagine even people at the Met Office were quite excited about it ? For me, it's the best kind that can happen, as it's such a now-cast and can go literally anywhere. A Major For forecasters, but i'm sure they love it. TEITS - Good job, same track as I had it, NW England, through the middle and down the SE. Was very surprised it got to the SE mind.

I went to bed and you were moaning about it not being a Polar Low... I wake up, your still moaning about it not being a Polar Low. If something so insignificant peed you off so badly, and were all pathetic for getting "suckered" by the hype, then maybe you are right. Some of us actually got quite a dumping from it, thanks ! Anyways, just like to say what a great thread it was last night, lots of interest, nearly 2000 people were on the forum, Server Overload! Lets hope we see another, "Polar Low" sometime soon !

Heavy snow Salford. Already a covering.

Snowing already at some coastal areas of NW England. Good sign for everyone else.

It will turn more to snow. It has to hve a warm sector at first as it picks up all the moisture, then cooling, then sleet, then snow. Obv the more East you are the better.

Lol I so pictured that scene of you then !

Ditto

Ha! You first ? Irish Sea... Via Peak District... Towards SE ! Heavy snow for those East of Manchester... If you look at the latest NW Radar, you can see the streamer running through the Peaks... Thats my track.

Thats funny !

OK, we get it, you don't think it's a Polar Low besides the professionals calling it one. P.S - Polar Lows can deliver rain, or snow. It's currently snowing on it's Eastern Flank in Scotland.
