This weather has been strange on Merseyside .
Go a few miles in , away from the coast and some form of snow has tried to lie , but if you live by the coast the weather has been consisting of hail showers which have been very rather heavy.
Same story further inland - yesterday afternoon absolutely dry in Wigan but down the road in St Helens, still quite a lot of lying snow. This morning was a white out in both places although id does appear to be clearing in Wigan.
Think the daytime temperature is a bit different today than it was yesterday.
Yesterday just felt a very raw day , today is a typical winters day , the next few days take us back to the raw days I think , there is some debate about possible heavier snow towards Monday and Tuesday
Not far off the end of winter and we have had just under half the amount of rain we had last year . Last year was a very stormy winter , one the south coast would like to forget , especially Dawlish.
This year it has been what we can say a normal winter for the UK , a bit of everything all rolled together.
Has anyone else noticed the fog bank over the Dee for the last two evenings?
The fog is back this morning here on the east side of the Wirral , much thicker than yesterday as well.
Suspect that the Mersey Ferries service will not start on time today .
Well whatever it is it will be cold to say the least , but should be short lived this time .
There is expected to be a return to colder weather towards the end of next week according to the charts on

When you look at the pressure charts , Low pressure goes anti clockwise , High Pressure goes clockwise.
The Pressure charts go from 0 to 384 hours (14 days hence) beyond 7 days there just a projection of possible weather patterns based on a couple of computer models .
