I'm really sorry for Northamptonshire, but I took an executive decision to bring down my old Dynastars and sticks from Blackpool today,  which pretty much guarantees grass skiing  for the coming week.

Thanks for that! No snow for me for this cold spell, then

I've driven down from.Blackpool this afternoon and had torrential rain, whiteout snow over the M62, more rain and then sun as I got to south Leics.

Perfect example of how the Staffordshire Moorlands/Peak District destroy anything  from the east. Just as I’ve been fearing.

Yup, been watching it fading myself  Just checked and Cloud base is apparently around 800 foot, Moorlands to the east are 1000 foot, needed a much higher cloudbase to make it over.  

 

Lest we got a bit of a flurry earlier though.

Now a bit of light snow but far too light to settle. Funny how that area of rain/sleet/wet snow came through earlier no problem but proper snow doesn’t.

Looking at the radar it’s moving West, so the heavier stuff to my East will be my way in a couple of hours, by then it’ll be snowing

Higher cloud base maybe?  Wouldn't get 'caught' then.
