Any recommended sites or apps for the most reliable weather forecasts in England?  Heading to Manchester tonight, and expecting days and days of showers and mid to upper 40s . . . so typical England!  Also expecting days and days of stouts and porters!

I wouldn't trust any weather apps. I would just check out who their main weather authority is (guessing ECMWF) and I'm sure they have forecast discussions

They are -43.2 this month

That's incredible, and speaks to the greater variability out west, especially the intermountain west.  Farmington has recorded exactly one 40°+ departure in 126 years - the -11/-36 on 12/30/1917 was -41.  Now Havre tops that for at least a 6-day period?  Wow!

You had asked about the Maine snow survey, and it's impressive - not often that we see the 12+ color.  The Aroostook, Androscoggin (in Maine, at least) and Kennebec drainages are pretty much all in the highest 25% with much of each top 10%.  Somehow the Penobscot drainage is in the middle 50% except for minor acreage in top 25%.

I posted this in the March thread. Thanks for the map

Here's the comparative SWA map.

Map Description: These maps (called quartile maps) show areas where measured values of water content are in the lowest 25-percent of measured values (significantly below normal values), the middle 50-percent of measured values (roughly normal for this time of year), or upper 25-percent of measured values (significantly above (normal).

Switching gears - yes, impressive cold for late winter.  Didn't check the max-min, but it was below -15, may have tied/eclipsed the -18 of Jan. 14 for winter's coldest.  If so, it would be the 4th winter in which March had the coldest temp - '01, '07, '11 are the others.
