Anyone tell me what it's like near burnley? Travelling from Durham to work tomorrow morning depending on conditions. Cheers

Nowt in consett apart from sunshine. And they say it snows in June here

clinging on to dear life for a snowflake at albermarle tomorrow. looks 50/50 as far as i can make out and prob won't happen till teatime IF it comes off. gonna be a long day

Biblical rain here in the North East for the past hour. As per usual the drains arent up to the job and the roads are flooded. Havent seen much lightning but heard plenty of thunder.

We've still got the remnants of a big snow pile in the car park at work from the snow we had in January. It's probably still about 15ft wide and 7ft high. It doesn't even look like snow now though as it's completely black and looks more like a big rock. I've also noticed the odd patch of 'black snow' still lying around Consett as well. If we get this snow as expected this week then we'll officially have had snow on the ground since sometime in December. I'll have to confirm the date.

Well I really enjoyed the snow until I got basically got accused this morning off my boss of pulling a fast one by not making it in Thursday and Friday. I'd already said I was going to work the 2 days back. Also got the car stuck again this morning after a bloke at the end of the street got his car bottomed out on the big channel of snow in the middle of the road. Then this afternoon I got a phone call from our lass to say the thawing ice has pulled the facia and guttering off the house so I'm having to arrange for that to be fixed. I suppose that'll teach me for wanting it to snow so much :lol:

There's a few flakes of something coming down here. I'm right on the border of the red, blue and green on the radar so I think I'm getting a mixture of everything.

Some major thawing taking place in Consett. A lot of the icicles I've been keeping an eye on have disappeared as well. Gonna miss it when it's gone.

Made use of the snow drifts in the garden today to help me defrost the freezer. Been wanting to do it for ages but could never get the freezer emptied. Just bagged everything up today and buried it in one of the drifts. 3 hours later I dug the bag out and everything was still nicely frozen solid.

Well wasn't expecting muh today. Had a walk to the gym at 12 (still can't get the car dug out) and it was blue skies. Came out at 1330 and it was pelting down. Still going now but intensity varies from time to time.

Definite inch at least here. The official measuring gauge on top of the wheely bin is now at 15.2"

Gota be the next spacecraft name that like: Sputnik>Discovery>£3.49 radar I work for Lidl as well so I could maybe get my boss to sponsor it with a nice badge on the side edit: Just popped me head outside. There's another 1 and a bit " fell tonight. Not bad going when I thought we were getting nowt today.

That £3.49 paid for the nut that held the bolt that held the frame to the chassis of the satellite that took the photo - then got trapped up its own 'I have a problem' and started predicting things wrongly- so aye.

Its well out. You can follow the path yourself by eye and then as soon as it goes onto future radar it drops everything about 50miles south.

Ya reckon? It looks like the bottom end is swinging in to us but then the futureradar drops it south? I don't trust that futureradar though - it's been out all day.

That line a few hundred miles out is growing stronger by the minute. Dunno if I can wait up for it hitting us though.

His mobile's on all the phone boxes within 5 miles if you don't hear owt mate!

Collapsed?

That bank developing to the east is definitely looking stronger.

That's the fellas Keith.

This is a freak event. Students venturing outside

Swear filter?

Liked that last radar update. We might get this until the last of the NE tip.

Lidl sell them. They bought 10,000 in last year but couldn't shift them. They're flying out this year.
