Sleety wet snow on and off this afternoon, has enabled a thin slushy layer of snow to coat grass, roof, car park, pavement and car roof surfaces. Its not been heavy enough to produce a general cover - borderline situation, but pleasing to note, and bodes very well for next week.

Expecting to see a white snowy scene tomorrow morning on the fells.

Ive been lurking these forums for the past 3 years and the charts still dont make sense to me. Anyone got a youtube video that kinda explains them a little?

Same here in Ambleside mate!

I disagree that it bodes well for next week - I think the best we will get in our parts is 1 - 2 cm. If anything at all.....

I would remain very much optimistic, dewpoints, temperatures etc will be on the right side, just need some frontal activity, a trough to move through and there should be no problem at all.

Hope your right mate but I am not optimistic at all, there certainly wont be any significant snowfall - perhaps just a touch of wintry-ness.

In Ambleside itself maybe. But as I said earlier in this thread you can literally go for a walk up Wansfell Pike (with a 482m elevation) and see more snow than many people in the North West have even a remote chance of seeing snow, even when many of the region would need to drive miles to see it. If you live in a town that's 74m above sea level you need to temper your expectations with regards to snow in the town itself, but complaining about that when you live in the hilliest and one of the snowiest general areas of the country is a bit ridiculous. 

 

One thing is for sure if you start reporting substantial snowfall next week the rest of us can rest easy and enjoy the fireworks.

Very heavy snow in Hadfield. Equivalent to a major fault at a pillow factory.

It's also settling
