Lots of cloud moving in, but no precipitation. And we still can't get below freezing with -10 uppers, something is going wrong with our weather. These have been noticeable since 2013:

*Cold uppers not being reflected by ground-level temps. Uppers of -8 to -10 and +2 to +4 down below. 

*Cold wind directions bringing milder air. It's been a constant theme with northerlies, now it's being forecast off an easterly too. What hope do we have for lasting cold and snow when this keeps happening?

*Cold synoptics not delivering. Connected to the two above.

*Temperatures not falling on clear nights. This has been the most unsettling of them all: it drops to freezing after sunset and then rises inexplicably during the night, it stays at 2C all night then drops briefly to -0.5 just before sunrise, or it constantly rises and falls between -2 and +2C. 2016/17 hasn't been as bad for this as the previous three (we got to -6C during that anticyclonic spell) but it is still happening.

*No really cold days. Only two days since March 2013 with a high below 2C, and none below 0C. Even the runs of mild winters from 1988-90 and 1998-2000 did better than that.

I hope this all gets sorted out this Feb/March!

 I sympathise. There's just no precip about for us in the west. Also, I bet your ground temps (progged 0 - 1) are being modified by a degree or 2 by the urban heat effect.

I'm in a village 5 miles from town, so shouldn't have much of an urban heat effect- it seems that temps are just not as cold as they "should" be. But I have seen a few flakes tonight, so the uppers are playing ball...

Light snow falling here now. Doubt it will amount to much though. Bitterly cold though!

Light snow in Tipton, very light covering on car roof. Better than nothing.

Can confirm it's lightly snowing here too. Settling a bit on some surfaces but needs to be heavier with larger flakes for a full covering. Better get some sleep now before work tomorrow. Question is will I awake to a Winter wonderland in the morning? Probably not.

Light snow falling here on the Malverns, currently 0.4oC. Snow is sticking but at this rate it'll take awhile to cover things.

A good covering here this morning,  I'm hoping it carries on through the day without turning to rain. I suppose we will just have to wait and see
