Hi Steve,

What are your thoughts on these two possible snow situations for the weekend? So many let downs here over the last 5 bloody years!

Elevation key 150M...

[Deep Snow please]

So yet another waste of space event.

Probably

[severe snowstorm]

Heavy fine graupel and snow. Sticking.

[Backtrack]

Temp dropped to 1.0C in that shower. Still rain in the hail and grauple. Absolute joke.

This year for the majority of our region has been a rubbish winter. I don't think feb will fair better. Our climate is changing of late. 

[jam2010]

Same type of thing falling out out the sky as Tuesday, stuck but stopped now. 

[James M]

Nice and white out again, wish there was more on the radar though.

5 super duper winters on the bounce

Radar sounds poor james.

Might get some showers thru the night...

Temps really should be dropping now..surely?

 

[iand61]

Nowt much to report here, some sleet, a bit of hail and the odd flash of lightening somewhere in the more exciting distance.

oh and the temperature has been stuck on 2.5c for days.

[Day 10]

That's me done for tonight, catch you all tomorrow for the next riveting installment of SNOWpe better luck next time!

[severe snowstorm]

Snow and graupel lighter now and melted from pavements where it had settled. Just not quite cold enough.

[feb1991blizzard]

Covering on all surfaces. for once the BBC heavy snow symbol proved correct - its had it for a total of about 30 hours on separate occasions this week and all ive had 3 or 4 dusting to 1 inchers - the rest rain or nothing

[feb1991blizzard]

It really does say something abou places on the West Coast of NW England and how super duper they are for snow when for as long as I can remember on here now we have had members celebrating hail.

2014-15 wasn't too bad here, a winter index of 82, better than all but 3 winters of the 1990s.

I have the key.

No doubt it will not settle until I walk a quartter of a mile up the road where its 180M LOL

[More Runs Needed]

Somehow that whole thing evaded me...

[chicken soup]

This was meant to be the best northwesterley in years...typicaly its turned out to be one of the worse.

[pip22]

I remember last year we are gonna have the best north-westerly in years and it turned out as a slider, killing the heavy snow showers because of high cloud.

[Chris.R]

 Come on this winter has been much much better than the last few. Where are the days on end of constant temperatures into the teens? Maybe one or two in December, but that’s all this year.  There has also been more snow this winter, at least here since 14-15.
