Gutted I missed this event, even at my parents house they managed to get about 30-35cm. They said they hadn't seen anything like it since the late 70s / early 80s. It will happen again one day

That is getting along the right lines so we did see a bit of a blocked pattern for the first half of January although the cold was mainly sent down to the alps:

Compare that to December 2010 and the wamrth in the relevant areas was much more pronounced:

That month saw a southerly tracking jet which allowed high pressure to build around Greenland more easily.

 

We'll have to keep our eyes on this. December 2010 was roughly 18 months after the last solar minimum? Hopefully the Atlantic SST's will play ball :cold-emoji:

While I'm still very optimistic of further snow this year, even as late as April, I think our next shot at a 2010 style winter will be Decembers of 2021 and 2022 (assuming this current minimum ends mid 2019 and SC25 is underway by end of this year). Curiously winter 2022/23 would be 60 years since the great cold/snow of 1962/63. This would be bang on the 60 year cooling/warming cycle that is seen in various temp records. (Won't the QBO be in an easterly phase by winter 2022 too?)

Maybe you should move to the Wolds before then? make sure you maximise your snow chances? hell, you'll probably get faster and cheaper broadband too Do you still have to pay extortionate rates for KCOM? My daughter found she had to use her mobile phone mobile data connection for internet when she moved there because KCOM were stupidly expensive.

@vizzy2004 You were right re overnight temps in Hutton.  I know car outside temp readings are not the most accurate, but should give a good guide.  This pic was taken at 6.50am so temps probably already on the rise!

Last day of cold which maybe the last for fair while as we are set for a zonal flow. Perhaps we may get a few colder pulses as the systems push through. At least we may get some welcome rain.

A beautiful morning here in Firby, currently -3c after a low of -7c.

One of my weather stations in the nearby Yorkshire Wolds fell to -13c overnight with many other down to into minus double digits.

North of the moors we have had more breeze but it managed -5.5
Heavy snow showers most of yesterday, but it thawed slowly and there is still only about 6".
Apparently it was rough over the moors with drifting and weekend traffic.

Today should be OK up there, but minor roads are generally not gritted or minimally gritted so best avoided.
Even if your vehicle is capable something else might be blocking the road, don't be the one to get stuck and cause chaos.

My car was showing -9 at 6am this morning, it had risen to -4 by time I went out again at 8am. 

 

Outlook looks much milder next week but uncertainty following week, hints of staying mild but also possibly turning colder again. 

Usual case this far out, one to watch though over next few days.

I was just going through all our photos of the kids, house and Land Rovers taken since we moved into this house in North Lincs 18 years ago. I have made a note of all the months were we have a photo of laying snow on the ground (not necessarily falling in that month though). Snow may have fallen in months not listed here simply because we never took a photo but it sure looks like snow is becoming more common for us in our particular location. There appears to be a long period between 2003 and 2009 that we have hardly any photos showing snow, not sure if that was just down to us not taking photos or it really was a 'snow drought'?

Are we just an exception due to being in a rural area next to a hill or has anybody else noticed this?

Yeah perhaps next winter will see the scales tip and we see more cold on our side of the Atlantic... one can hope. Don't get me started on KCOM ,  they are still slow and expensive and we have no other choice. I'd love to move to the Wolds hahaha maybe when I'm old but for now I'll probably have to move south (for jobs  ). It's ironic that the best snow event I've experienced in the last 10 years was at the start of March, last year in Southampton. -4C at midday with heavy powdery snow and a brutal east wind is something I may not experience again for a very long time.

February 2009 was also good in Northampton (yes I went to both Northampton and Southampton uni lol) when I was there as we saw very deep snow cover but it sounded like December 2010 easily beat both of those. I came back to Hull at Christmas and it was extremely cold though most of the snow earlier that month had gone and it was very dry and crisp (still very nice and seasonal mind).

Dalby was quite something today, blue skies and around 6 inches of snow with temps still below freezing.

There were some lads walking across the Lake today, very brave indeed but I imagine it was minus double digits at the Staindale Lake overnight.

Coldest station in the Moors last night was Chop Gate at -12.2c.

very hard frost here overnight, still -0.5c here and a lot of ice on the cars, my wife has just taken 20 mins to de-ice and de-mist her car, she is not impressed as I'd told her it was going to be mild this week...… oops...

yes it was a bit of a surprise here in SW Sheffield, the frostiest the car has been so far this year! so much for milder weather (mind you, we had seen a gritter last night heading up Ecclesall Road on a mission, when we were coming back from music class around 8pm)

Hehe, yep, I think some people in the model thread need to moderate their use of 'mild' or 'warm'

It has only just got up to +4.7c here and there is still frost on the grass and garden furniture in the shade. 

My definition of temperatures would be roughly:

'Hot' = I can work outside in shorts and no shirt

'warm' = I can work outside in shorts and a t-shirt

'mild' = I can work outside in jeans and a t-shirt

'cool' = I can just about drag myself outdoors as long as I have a thick jumper on and I'm not out there long (current situation)

'Cold' = I avoid working outside at all

Although it's not been a particularly cold/memorable winter so far.. ?

It sort of feels weird, not to look at the incoming band of rain at the moment - and try not to work out the ( dewpoint/850s/height ) etc.. for snow to fall.

Never seem too have an intensity issue, when it's plain old rain that falls

So is this a potential snow event for our region on Sunday or what?

ECM1-96.gif

Depends on the track and certainly marginal but possible I would say.  Could actually be some blizzard conditions on the Northern flank of the low

I take a break for a few days as nothing was showing now sunday is in play!! wow :) could be good 

 

please let it be us this time! :) 

 

 

Arctic Cyclone... Ignore all of the reports in the media this morning. Friday into Saturday will deliver widespread severe gales and heavy rain and then we see some colder air filtering in from the north, only for a short time which would introduce some snow showers across northern areas for a time. The flow soon topples into Monday PM. Nothing severe expected in terms of wintry weather.

An heads up some nice cold charts been showing last few days. More so from ecm .high pressure building over the continent with winds coming from the east very very very early stages yet but something to watch out for and to see if gathers pace.

A chillier than expected 3.0c this morning with many reports of snow across the Trans Pennine routes.

The outlook does seem to have improved vastly for coldies in the mid term over the last 24 hours so let's hope the models continue to firm up on this later today.

C'mon the Beast!

Yup observed sleet this morning and there was snow on the cat and fiddle cam.

The strong winds today didn't turn the low pressure tracking south.

The met office have removed warnings for here tomorrow so it will probably be very windy. To be honest the met office warning system isn't fit for the purpose and most of the time is simply wrong or fails to reflect the changing conditions or fails to even recognise that something which isn't normal is happening.

I thought it was meant to be pretty wild here mid afternoon ..
My husband even made alternative travel arrangements.
Just been out and there's barely enough breeze to move an empty crisp packet.
