A bit of a weird amber warning area for Sunday/Mondays storm with all of Scotland included, most of Wales but little of England south of mid Lancs across to north Yorks apart from the extreme south and southwest. I could understand that if the centre of the low was crossing the midlands but isn’t it supposed to pass across northern Scotland so whilst the areas shown are probably justified, I’d have thought that far more of England would have been included. maybe time for further adjustments but this mornings update has already been put up and although it widens the area across Wales, there are no southerly changes across England. I suppose that damage can occur without an upgrade though and yellow or amber, it’s going to be a wild couple of days and as I’m a tight ass and it can cost a lot of money, it’s certainly not my favourite type of extreme weather.

I can’t beat 20ft drifts but we did have a decent snowfall around 10th March here with approaching a foot of level snow and plenty of drifting in the lanes. TBH I’d forgotten about it until I read the posts and I don’t think it stuck around for that long but it was easily the heaviest snow of last winter and joins a list of years where the best is saved for the end.

A bit of a covering on the cars and it’s filled in some of the gaps on the path where it had been salted but it’s dry at the moment and there’s nothing much on the radar that warrants the snow symbols showing until mid morning on the Met app. not been a bad effort up here though with the couple of inches of snow that fell earlier in the week still largely intact.

Looking like more of the region could see something falling later today and overnight but I’d expect here to still be to far east for anything. another damn cold winters day to come though, great to be out and about in it but working so no chance. Plenty of chance to get out at weekend in the wind and rain though

It’s unusual for us to be up there amongst the cold spots but today has been a proper old fashioned ice day. -6c at 10am with a maximum of -2.5c. Coming home in the car it was already showing -6c at 5 o’clock and -5-5c on my thermometer when it got home so could we reach minus double figures…….unlikely but not out of the question and even if it doesn’t, these are some of the lowest temperatures I’ve seen at home since late February 2018 As you say, icicles everywhere including hanging from the car, again something I haven’t seen since the BFTE and some of last nights snow is still on the main roads. a decent cold snap.

Maybe ended up with a couple of inches at best here which for eight hours continuous snow, isn’t a great effort but up here, little if any has thawed so probably plenty of ice in the morning. In the meantime, maybe a top up of snow in the next few hours as that front slowly heads south but not expecting anything much.

At the moment the showers are coming in on a very slight north of west angle and we are right at the northern edge of the heavier ones but if the same angle is maintained then the larger area currently over the Irish Sea should be heading across Lancashire in the next couple of hours. we’ve still managed a covering though, maybe a cm which is as much as I was expecting by this time and at the moment, everything falling is settling.

Missus has decided to watch this new Love Island crap, more plastic in the VILLAH than in a credit card factory. personally I’d sooner watch weeks of endless south westerlys and torrential drizzle but maybe I’m just a bit old fashioned anyway early start with the snow shovel in the morning so off to bed enjoy your snow
