[karyo]

Quite a sunny morning and everything was frosty when I got up at 9:30.

think I might have some chicken soup with some pepper in that’s should warm me up a bit 

[Mokidugway]

Very mild feeling out after the cold ,blowtorch thaw 

[karyo]

I don't rate breakdown snow much but I always feel shortchanged when a cold spell ends without one. Lol

[JeffC]

And now..it's drizzling...

Sleet for 30 seconds then back to drizzle!

[severe snowstorm]

Not even being treated to a spell of snizzle!? You've been short-changed!

[Mokidugway]

Still dry temp 54 c

[severe snowstorm]

Another beautiful morning here. Crisp, cold and sunny to start. Shame things are going to warm up this week. Plenty of winter still to go though and hopefully some more decent chances of snow.

I'd expect it to be hot where you are given you are in Dalton-in-Furnace!

Ok, I'll get me coat....

Deflated clouds

[robbo88]

Yup

[law of averages]

Says 5c here but doesn't feel like It?? ... Says light snow on radar but it ain't.... but what snow we had Tuesday, still about 50%ish here... so still cold

[Snowy L]

If it didn't snow this week I would honestly judge this winter as the worst ever. 2013/14 was bad but at least it didn't give us false hope with Greenland high after Greenland high in FI and met office forecasts promising cold 3 weeks away. Also the actual weather has been tedious nothingness. No sun, no rain, no wind most of the time. At least 13/14 was stormy. Lesson learned for me - SSWs do not work in West QBO winters.

[Sn0wmad79]

Absolutely peeing it down. The lying snow which had some legs is now melting away rapidly. YUK

[Frost HoIIow]

Got down to -8.4C in the end this morning. Pretty decent end to the cold spell. Looks like Manc airport registered -6C. Now the rain is quickly washing the snow away 

[SnowThunder]

Miserable end to a miserable "cold" snap that had daytime averages of 6c and only reached as a low as -2c, this winter has been horrible

[gearbox100]

We see the end to this cool spell, the last mm hiding in the shadows is now gone due to rain. I feel this has been the most boring winter. It's also been quite mild with streamer weed only dying off in the rivers middle of January. Midgets in full force. The only benefit has been the fishing has been great.

[Chris.R]

 Today is going as expected. Can’t really call this a cold spell without any Lying snow. 

[Mokidugway]

Was some snow here left from other day ,but all gone now
