Monday 14th January 2013

The last few days have been a reminder at just how marginal it is for snowfall in this area, and how difficult it is to forecast.  It has been somewhat head-ache inducing, I do actually feel a bit sorry for the professionals.

I feel I was a bit harsh on the Met Office on my post on Saturday.

Just about the end of the snow, for now at least, but getting much colder.

This evening and tonight will see further wintry showers, falling as snow towards midnight and some places will see another light covering.  Icy, down to -2'C.

Tuesday will be rather sunny but it is unlikely to get above freezing all day and down to -5'C overnight with a hard frost.  Just a small chance of a snow shower.

Wednesday also looks fairly sunny, 0'C at best during the day, -5'C at night with the potential of perhaps -8'C.

Thursday again fairly sunny, a small chance of some light snow, 0'C by day and -4'C overnight.

Friday and Saturday have the potential for more spells of snow.

It may turn briefly milder by Sunday.
