A yukky morning, bring on the westerlies!
Totally agree Ken can'y wait for this dire Winter to end.
We've had a lot of Yuk days this Winter.

Hi, Graham
It's this stubborn European blocking high. Any wind from north clockwise to south-east is bad news for Teesdale.

Any direction other than NNW-NNE tends to bring crud here. We're exposed to the
east coast and the west coast.

Persistent slight to moderate snow so far today. The temp has crept up to +0.9
so there is a bit of a thaw. The lying snow increases during the heavier bursts
and decreases when it gets lighter. The next 24 hours looks like possibly
causing a few problems. Fortunately, I don't have any need to venture far.

I've noticed that, Norman, not good! Our best is from the west, as you will know, with the shelter of the high Pennines and Lake District fells. Anything clockwise from south-east to north-west is good for us.
Mostly rain now(19Z) but snow expected to return for a time tomorrow.

Unless there's a lot of dynamic forcing we do not too badly in a SW'ly as we're
in a bit of a shadow from Wales but it can't de relied on! Our worst direction
is W-NW when the shower stream coming in from Liverpool Bay gets a bit of
orographic enhancement and we end up with incessant rain.

Sleeting here now with the temp stuck on +1.2°. We've got a yellow snow
warning valid from 2100 till 1500 tomorrow.
