Many across the central swathe of Ireland, England and Wales are waking to snow this morning.

Thanks to an injection of polar air being drawn in and wrapped around the centre of a low over the UK.

Snow depth forecast from yesterday.

Nice scene from Dublin this morning.

Near whiteout over Saddleworth Moor in the South Pennines.

Loveclough Rossendale, Lancashire

Plenty of snow over parts of France too, especially the Alps.

The very storm system which brought last week’s Spain snow and arctic air crossed into the Mediterranean generating tremendous snow along the southern slopes of the French, Austrian and Italian Alps but out ver the open water and along exposed coasts, it was very stormy.

Cap Corse, Corsica recorded a gust of 106 mph.

Looking back at February, here’s how it played out. Cool in the West but exceptionally warm in the East.

Yep, it sure was warm, record warm for MANY Eurasia countries with national records falling!

As we progress through the weekend, expect slow clearance SE of the rain, sleet and snow giving way to a chilly, blustery, showery northerly flow Saturday.

We’ll continue to see heavy snowfall over the Alps.

Clearer sky and lighter wind means colder nights both Saturday eve and Sunday eve.

The initial hints of change and milder air returning comes Tuesday.

Tired of winter? Here’s some positives about March…

The Canadian released it’s latest March projection back on Feb 29, here it is.
