The guy that should be banned in winter you mean yes :p

 

He should because even here we are struggling. 

 

I'm firmly of the opinion that unless your about 300m asl or already have deep entrenched cold North Westerlies don't deliver. The previous spell was a complete disaster here and for the North West. 

 

We'd have been better of with a strong Easterly flow, to rub salt in the wounds its snowing along the coast in Yorkshire.

Got pasted Christmas Day 2004 in that temporary NWly ... And in March 2006. It's luck of the draw and they're open to delivering surprises.

we just run out of luck most years and get nothing. Was very disappointed for the last couple of years for the kids, they all wanted snow, so we had to take them to santa village in finland last year.

well i have just travelled from down south (near London) to Bolton overnight.

 

having looked at all avaialable weather reports I was expecting to arrive here in Bolton to prolonged heavy snow, and decent accumulations on the ground.

 

All I have got is fine rain.

 

I am too old (29) to get wound up by this, as it is probably he hundreth time that a predicted snow event has failed to materialise but nevertheless I am absolutely flabbergasted and annoyed by this.

I was expecting to wake up to more of a cover as this time during the night looked most productive. But no, doesnt look like there has been much in the way of heavy showers.

Being further north must have made all the difference with some amazing scenes here last night.

9cms lying now but temperature is just above freezing so it is wet, DP still below freezing so hopefully little thaw.

For once North Cumbria was in the sweet spot, how often does that happen!

15013006_2900.gif....just to illustrate fridays letdown,,,updated euro4 gives us this..rain

Ignore. The Euro 4 12z had the southern part of the region under snow for this morning, that went by 18z.

Squally driving hail/sleet/snow showers. Rush hour driving is not going to be great. Driving on a motorway and suddenly you are blasted by the one these showers, visibility rapidly drops.

Expected to wake up to more lying snow than when I went to bed but not the case.

It was snowing when i got up but only a cm or two on the ground and that looks a bit slushy.

On the plus side, at least the roads should be clear enough for a crap car like mine to make it to work.
