Clear. ISOL Cb to west. Cirrus debris.

Turning icy. Last night's snow persisting in shade.

Have to say Will when having seen the forecasts for this week it
looked really exciting but it's been all a bit of a let down really
(at least here) since Saturday.
Had very little snow and but plenty of cold rain which I really hate,
rather have it mild when it's raining heavily.
I reckon we will get more rain in bucket loads from Wednesday night
onwards. The weekend into next week doesn't look much better away from
the north and over the highest ground of Wales and the South West.
Can't believe it's been the coldest Winter (so far) for some time and
we could still end up having our heaviest snowfall in a none winter
month just like last year!!


My snowiest month by far is February and March comes second.
Don't usually get much in April or December and January is variable.

Better not say anymore will have Dave R on saying them nutters are off
again


Dave who? :-)

Clear here with current temp 2.1c


Hi Graham, yep, never really got going did it?
The potential was there, and it still is for a stormy spell.
Jet sinks even further south next week. You never know, it ain't over yet by
a long way.

Temperature here is now +0.2C and icy.

Cheers,

Will
