After years and years of constant let downs and disappointments I am expecting nothing at all here in the Lake District.

 What happened to me last year will never ever leave me.

Since when was Bolton in the lake district?

Most certainly!

Last winter I left Cumbria for north Devon - that night my location received its most significant snowfall of the winter. If that was not bad enough the part of north Devon I was in was in an unexplained 5 mile radius in Barnstaple Bay that received no snow at all during the major snowstorm that hit the south west last winter. Everywhere to the north, south, east and west had 2 feet of snow.

It absolutely knocked me for six and I realised that wherever I am, major snow will never come - it literally felt as though this was fate - deliberate almost, the depression was unexplainable. I am expecting nothing from this upcoming snow spell.

I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.

 

(In all seriousness nowhere in the UK has ever seen 6ft of lying snow).

Stupid o’clock start this morning but thankfully no snow or ice to clear before I set off and dry all the way down to the midlands.

A bit of snow on the cars in Coventry but it must have been a rouge shower as a couple of miles away, nothing.

all in all a lovely but cold day.

Best way BC, if you live in one of those places that never gets snow, its best to assume it wont.   Im still looking forward to/hoping for a good cold spell, maybe some icicles, ice days, really low minima, weekends going to find some snow.   But as for snow on my house, next to no chance, there never is.

Where in the Lake District are you - I think you said Ambleside? Were you away all last winter then, because Ambleside saw the same snowfalls as Windermere, and we had a few, one on the 29 December for example, also one a year ago today on 17 January.

The central Lake District is far from a snow no zone, I don't understand your dispondency..

Next week could bring some significant snowfall to the Lake District - nothing marginal about it.

Not 6ft but Tomintoul had 4ft level snow in 1978. I would give my right arm to get snow like this in this day and age. Looks like the US when they get lake effect snow.

Looks like the front is a bit of a fizzler tomorrow. 

Might see a bit of Dandruff but my thoughts are with Tuesday. 

As ever wish I was 300asl. 

Looking forward to the next 3 weeks however. Should see some snow at some point.

Compared with recent slate grey skies, today was sunny although very chilly. Current outdoor temp. is 0C.

Glad I invested in an Ororo electrically heated jacket, made a lot of difference.  It will be most definitely useful should the anticipated severe cold materialise.

A couple of falls last year which gave 1-2 cm so nothing major. The Lake District at lower levels is awful for snow I have lived here long enough.

Missing out on the only major fall of the winter and then missing out on the south-west snowstorm was unimaginable.

All this talk of an easterly coming up does not benefit our region AT ALL.
