UK Outlook for Thursday 14 Feb 2019 to Thursday 28 Feb 2019:

Generally cold conditions are often likely to dominate the weather through mid to late February, however confidence is low. The weather is likely to be a mixture of cold wintry, showery days and more mobile days with Atlantic fronts bringing rain across the UK, and occasional milder interludes remain possible. Towards late February there is the possibility of a colder, more easterly flow developing, though the signal for this has decreased in recent days.

What about the first 14 days of Feb? Probably more important 

Rain and hill snow will clear later on Monday, however further rain, sleet and snow will possibly arrive from the west on Tuesday. It will stay mostly cold, with frost and ice likely overnight. Thereafter, it is likely to stay changeable, with further spells of rain, sleet and snow interspersed by sunshine and showers. The wind will be brisk at times, with gales around exposed coasts and over higher ground. After a cold start to February, temperatures may temporarily return closer to normal, although further colder interludes are still possible. Overnight frosts are still likely to be widespread and towards the end of this period there is a greater chance of it becoming even colder.

Boss that! I assume your on a flight path? Unless my eyes are deceiving me ... also who was in the garden at 7am and who was in your neighbours before that?

[Backtrack]

Heavy snow 

[Deep Snow please]

Mad how quickly this is thawing, sun way too strong. We need long blizzards/persistent snow/grey skies to keep snow these days. Hopefully some shower activity to get going tonight.

Yes, even Steve Murr is getting borderline - i hate these setups - for one they always track further and further south and even if you live in the south, they end up much more inactive fronts, and if they get far enough North, they then tend to be rain.

I can't remember one that started to our north and ended up over us.

I never get my hopes up unless there has been deep prolonged cold for a while. 1-4 degrees certainly isn’t cold weather by my standard and weather coming from the south or west never fills me full of confidence. Oh how I miss living in Berlin in winter.

I can remember plenty that started over us and ended up as rain because it moved to far NE though.
