Another vile winters morning, at least the rain has become lighter.
Looking at the radar it seems to moving away eastwards.

Cold & wet yesterday and overnight with fog for much of the day.

The latest Met office graphics for next week look a bit milder with
temps up to 8c on Tuesday, much better than this muck.

It is interesting to note that not so far away to the south or south south west at Alcaston in
Shropshire the temperature is currently or was recently as high as +9.5c while to the north-east
at Tideswell it was recently only +0.6c and Buxton (Harpur Hill) is currently +0.3c with snow. A huge
temperature differential over relatively short distances.

Yes Peter even here we only managed 3.4c while Leek 9 miles to our NNE
recorded 5.4c but Keele around 11 miles to our west only recorded 5.0c
We are higher than both Leek and Keele met office sites.
I noticed the Met office had Keele as the lowest maximum for the West
Midlands.

Shawbury around 30 miles to our South west did get to 10.9c.

Quite a mixed bag in Tideswell today. It was very wet overnight. By 0630 the
rain had turned to sleet. By 0700 it was back to rain then from about 0745 till
0830 we had quite a heavy fall of ice pellts, rattling on the conservatory roof
like hail. It then reverted to sleet and shortly after 0900 it turned to snow.
There's been slight snow since then and the temp has slowly fallen to +0.2C.
There's about 1 cm of lying snow. Looking at the webcams, we've got more snow
on the ground than there is at the Cat & Fiddle (515m) and Winking Man (440m)
pubs and at Flash Bar (460m). Although these sites are all higher than here
they are all to the SW. Presumeably the colder air got there later than it got
to here. Who'd be a forecaster trying to get that sort of detail correct!

Yes Norman I looked at Cat & Fiddle and Winking man earlier and it was
just wet. They have had some snow in the last hour or so but not much.
Must be a nightmare to forecast. I'm hoping we dont get any as my wife
has a 10 mile drive from work later and she doesnt leave until 5pm.
