Never getting my hopes up for snow ever again unless there is a beasterly steam rolling towards us, every other direction is pure super duper.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on Thursday. I’d be surprised if there was anything of interest away from high ground at this stage.

Polar low would be amazing but unfortunately they are so rare.the last time we saw a polar low was the decaying one of 2004.. still packed a punch though.

I rememer the January 2015 one

A magnificent winter's day. Clear blue skies and a whiteness from yesterday's snow

It had me down for -7C last night but it was -2C with snow cover. The winds will be off the sea tonight so we will struggle to go much below freezing

It’s saying winds of 12mph too. It doesn’t ever get that low with that much wind. They need to fix it

The skies didn't clear here completely until 7am so there was still a few degree's of warmth (if you could call it that) lingering around, even if it was -2'c. Tonight heat loss will be continual throughout the night bringing the temps all the way down and not forgetting cold air sinks into the bottom of valleys and lower area's, which makes me believe that Disley/Woodford will be where the NW see's the lowest of tonight's temps.

Although it's still forecast -10'c for where I am just a few miles up the road.

Currently looking like a little snow on high ground and a rain event for the rest of us.

Beautiful and still winter's day with the low sun having no success to defrost the ground! 

Pity we are going to pick up the Atlantic influence again, it will be chilly for days to come but not this pure cold.

I agree CS...between christmas and new year might hold some interest..

Have to say its beautiful round my area today..the snow which stuck from friday night and saturday has still not melted imby and its hardly been above freezing since saturday morning..

Last proper cold night in the region tonight before the change...

Heard on tv this morning that the cold spell was to last well in to the New year apart from the odd mild blip
