Temps of 1.6'c here

Dew point -1.8'c 

But we have no precipitation *facepalm*

 

The worst of it is that the dew points are falling slightly here as we speak, if we could keep some precipitation going tonight, we'd get a covering. what a crock!

Wonder where connor123 is, thought he'd be moaning this one into the back of the net by now!

Remember it well, not as much as you but yes a slight covering here.

That's showers for you....5 miles away get a back yard full and you get a solitary

 

Not that time which was some consolation, nowhere round here got much. Dew point now 2C, so much higher than everywhere else is reporting.

Oh i didnt know he moved, cant say i blame him if he did though, if of course its climate related, lets face it, ours is becoming utterly depressing.

Was always meant to be less cold air moving in from the east

I'd say it's definitely worth the drive, non of it is melting up there and if there's any more well I'd say take a sledge lol

Moderately heavy rain mixed with small hail, not a snowflake in sight. So much for evap cooling when you have -7 to -9 uppers......

Northwestsnow posted this old chart from 1985 (back when winters were winters). Just struck me how the southerly tracking jet shown has been completely absent this winter, hence repeated euro highs.

Between 2006-13 the jet was a lot more southerly tracking and low and behold we got better winters. Better frontal snow chances and less GIN shortwaves wrecking northerly blocking opportunities.

Its a key ingredient to a cold winter we have to hope returns soon.
