  1. As said by others a very nice early spring day with plenty of sun. And you can feel it gaining a bit of strength now. Sun angle similar to early October and when it's sunny then it can feel just as pleasant as now, maybe even more so given temps can be a bit milder than March.
  2. Some wording in the mad thread from the usual suspects about potential moving forward regarding cold, they've been saying it for months. But wouldn't it be just typical that as we get to mid March we get a 2018 mini beast scenario. Where was you all winter? I'd take it for sure but I'd love a mid winter one better.
  3. Looking S & E there appears to be some snow on Kinder and Bleaklow, whether that's from yesterday or this morning I don't know. Nothing on wildbank hill which is lower down at 399m. Yesterday there was a bit you could see near the summit.
  4. Rain Lady doesn't surprise me, I.e early signs of plant growth. And when you look at the 20c isotherm touching the southern coast of Spain and we're not even into April never mind May when it usually happens is it any wonder thoughts turn to just how hot it might get this year. Any plume we get could rival the record heat of 2022.
  5. Seems like it was a 400m+ affair today as I look east. Only the highest hills have any sort of covering. Below this nasty cold rain.
  6. Hmmm once again it just doesn't look cold enough at lower levels. Like the last event.
  7. Obviously some snow accumulation charts coming into view now. Been a long day been here there and everywhere so only going to post the harmonie one and it does show reduced accumulation around Manchester but it's not a giant white hole like the last failed event and I feel is more the urban heat effect. So I think there is a bit of a better chance of snow at lower levels this time around. Steady as she goes though.
  8. HafrenLMP1 I was hoping we'd have some kind of repeat this winter but wasn't to be. Even watered down but can't even get that. Probably too late now, could get a "mini beast" ala 17th-18th March 2018 but not looking likely.
  9. Don from what I remember it was kind of a last minute thing, well only became apparent it was going to happen around 2 days beforehand. Not like the usual day 10 teases we get that never move into the reliable.
  10. Don it snowed most of the day, took those pics just after the last dregs fell but it was all gone by late the next morning Don. Like you say better than nothing and was a better fall than anything we've had this "winter!".
  11. baddie Not an ice day but we had this on the 4th March that year. Temp that day max 1c. Shame it didn't last and wasn't part of a proper cold spell.
  12. Gone 6 o'clock and there's still a little bit of light left. Yep we've got rid of those long dark Winter days now. Spring very much around the corner.
  13. East Lancs Rain i think we should call you serial quoter given how much you quote people on here
  14. Had Worse Yeah that's true, someone living at the coast would probably think 100m is high up but to me it's not as I can miss out on the more marginal stuff at that height where as around your height you can get in on it. A bit like someone 80 yrs old probably thinks a 50 yr old is relatively young but to a 20 yr old a 50 yr old is ancient. Differing interpretations.
  15. Finally saw a frost this morning. My moaning last night paid off . God we really are scraping the barrel when we are getting giddy over it, shows how rubbish this winter has been.
  16. Be nice to see a visible frost, when was the last one?? What a waste of a winter month it's been.
  17. In Absence of True Seasons it was standard years ago but unfortunately due to CC it's not anymore, they now have just little reminders of the past you could say and not as long lasting. There was a poster on here from Estonia, forgot his name and he said older people mentioned that winters were way harsher years ago over there.
  18. 42c in Sacramento California. Autumn couldn't arrive soon enough after experiencing a Summer inland Mediterranean climate on a par with Andalusia. Had no rain though until the start of November. And wow did it rain on that day, like what we get here, wind with it, lights flickering. I remember looking the weather channel and seeing radar with the wall of rain coming in from the Pacific. Their record high in Sacramento is 46c in September 2022.
  19. SunnyG tornado in London? It might actually make the place look better, shuffle things round a bit, can't look much worse than it already does in most areas of the city. Then again Manchester isn't exactly great either
  20. You'd think with all the ridiculous amounts of rain we've had since July we would see reservoir levels to capacity by now. Instead as a region overall they are slightly down! Only by .1 of a percent but even so. Reservoir levels | United Utilities WWW.UNITEDUTILITIES.COM Details about the levels of water in our main reservoirs - updated weekly
  21. East Lancs Rain my step dad, now deceased, was American and lived for a long time in Las Vegas. He loved heat and sunshine. He couldn't stand cold and snow and that's where he was brought up near Cleveland, Ohio where they can get lake effect snow. He lived over here for a while and didn't like our climate, not surprisingly. He used to joke oh there's a tiny bit of blue sky there. I lived in the US for a bit, over a year, me and my mum moved over there he sponsored us but I didn't get a long with him for a variety of reasons and it put a strain on my mum's relationship with him so we came back to England. This is going back a long time ago now. We lived in Sacramento in California and then my step dad's company relocated to the other side of the country in Reading, Pennsylvania so we decided to moved over there. And later when we moved back to England we found out he wasn't the man he told us he was. He took a deceased boy's name when he was young man and was using that name for decades. Obviously he lied about his birthday too and when he was born, feel bad that my mum bought him things on his birthday when it wasn't really his birthday. FBI was involved in it all. But that's another story I guess and I always thought he was dodgy anyway. Still a mystery why he did it, never found out why. He refused to tell the FBI why. Shame really as my mum thought the world of him, was writing to him for a few years as a pen friend before flying over herself to meet him for the first time. We found out he died of lung cancer, now my mum has it oddly enough.
  22. raz.org.rain like the recent heat records then with it set in 2019 at Cambridge and then it got broken again in 2022 in Coningsby. I think the trend is clear because we're not beating cold records are we? It's getting extremely difficult to get an average CET month lately never mind a below average one.
  23. Rain Lady It can be a good month for sure, had plenty of decent march snows but sometimes brings early hints of proper late Spring i.e 2012 when we reached 20c on 3 successive days at the end of the month. You just never know what can happen with this warming climate. Look at Feb 2019 high teens we got up to, crazy. I think we're not only getting warmer we are getting wetter too.
  24. Joe Snow that's a worrying chart. I suppose great for those who love heat but I have a bad feeling about this summer, could somewhere reach 45c in the country?? Maybe that's stretching it a bit though, 42c more likely. Wasn't so long go some on here were adamant 40c wouldn't be reached but it did at RAF Coningsby. And that day up here when it reached 37 felt like when you open an oven door as you went outside
  25. trickydicky that's the thing, I hear people in Spain and Portugal who say they used to have regular reliable rain in the winter, heavy actually before the normal Mediterranean dry spell from May to October. But the Iberian peninsula is slowly turning into a desert. A combination of prolonged drought throughout the year and intensive farming.
