After today's fiasco and now the non event no doubt for IMBY tonight, I think the idea of chasing snow for three months of the year is a wasted pastime so it's my now a case of roll on summer and Greenland highs. 😎

No snow here . Saw a bit in Halifax today and some hills around there are white .
But here too warm when the precipitation fell and now the winds are far too northerly.

Too much rain here today and no snow seen by me! Very frustrating with temps hovering at 3c and odd hail and rain shower. Grrrr

The wife says I'm well suited to a moaning thread, whatever does she mean.

No snow here. It's 1.8c and only light cloud with a veiled moon. Not really expecting any though. 

---

 

4-8 degrees was forecast, so they were correct, as to whether this is deemed to be a cold spell, that another matter!  

Feck it. Feck it with knobs on.

You know, it's totally out of character, but I've found myself smiling at the snow reports from darn sarf - and even being pleased for them. I think it's age; I'm getting old & senile.

Who are you? And what have you done with Saint Snow?

---

ha quite agree, you know this blocking and HP domination is gonna sod off come summertime. 

Today was a complete crapshoot, we briefly got down to 3C in the rain and it was thoroughly miserable. 

Northwest winds should be our best chance of wind direction. But unfortunatley yet again nothing. We did get 5 mins of graupal snow before. Under the floodlight. My brother getting his daughter our of bed only for tbe shower to end. And that... ladies and gents... is our snow for the winter 2016/17.

Spent a week building up to this... and nothing.

What a load of tosh, how can London get a good covering of snow yet here in E.Yorks we got drizzle for an hour or so this afternoon...!! I was led to believe that large cities were heat islands and rarely got snow...at least that was the case when I lived in Manchester for 9yrs...there is a slight possibility that we may get some snow showers overnight but I doubt it, we live in a 'snow go' region, flat farmland surrounded by hills and next to a warmer than average N.Sea, and this supposed Arctic blast is going to last all of 2 days...!!! then it's back to westerlies and double figure temps and rain, which we get plenty of...freakin great...to say I'm slightly miffed is an understatement...

You sure are.  Btw dont forget that £500 you owe me

I have no problems with people seeing more snow than I have seen since at least 2012 ......   it will be their last.   I will hunt every single one of them down.  And eventually I - Me alone! - will be the one to see the fabled snowflake.  For I will be the only one alive! Mahahahahahaha!     Hahahahahahaha!   Hahahahahaha!

Hahahahahahahaha!

Hahahahaha!

Hahaha!

Ha!

Lets hope WE ALL get some more (or even some) of this in the next few weeks:

Absolute and utter crap weather. Not a flake of snow!

My 5 year old Grandson is desperate to see snow on the ground, looks like he`s going to be disappointed this year.

Lovely echos on the radar fo my area (merseyside)


...aaaanddd temp pops up to 3 *c and we have rain.

---

Rubbish here for Exeter too - unless you like soft hail ...what's most frustrating was that whenever the showers came the temperature would pop up to above 3+ c and thus turning any sleet or graupel back into rain. So we ended up with wintry showers instead of any wet snow. - exactly the same as Feb 2016 one night and the year before - however, the only comfort is that this is only January and we have another pending cold spell waiting next week, as opposed to last winter when the cold snaps were only one day events - but so far this has been bad for lowland areas of the south west if you want snow. it's hardly event got below +3c yet and it's 1:15am. Terrible, also the fact that these soft hail showers' have occurred at night so it's not like you can observe it in daylight . It's no fun at night! We need wintry showers during the daytime when we are awake. Today was just cold rain for the SW anyway.

Not happy with this so far - hope the easterly would provide something more if not in Feb.

---

It's not even cold down here 😂

No sign of frost even at 2am

Grrrr!  That's not Brrr, it's Grrrrr!  Nothing more frustrating than breakfast telly showing 'the snow mayhem' when we haven't had a flake!  The grass isn't always greener on the other side! It's whiter!  

---

So all the rain washed any snow away. We only really got the precipitation in the mild sector. Very frustrating but not unexpected.

---

One word

Rubbish


Rain and very cold. Whats the point.

---

Absolutely disgusting. The last supposed cold spell was utter crap but at least it produced a snow lying day. This pile of garbage has hit an all time low.

God knows why the hell a weather warning was issued because there is absolutely nothing outside and it's not even cold. Temperature up to 4C overnight and still mild now for the time of day at 2.4C. Vile wind rattling away that has resulted in yet another poor night's sleep.

An epic fail from the models. Where are the -3C temps predicted by GFS for NE Scotland http://old.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rtavn0617.gif 

It's beyond a joke how things could have sunk to such a desperate state where dross like this passes for cold. It is absolutely not a cold spell and this winter has been completely devoid of cold. With more utter dross coming next week it has to be asked if this is on course to be the mildest and least frosty winter on record? It certainly seems like it. Just a total write-off that is making the last two atrocities seem cold and snowy by comparison.

This laughable cold spell is just the final straw for me when it comes to enduring the never ending onslaught of complete and utter trash that makes up the most revolting climate on earth

Nice one Richard! 😂😂

All I have to say is, boooooooooooo
