Well this has been nice so far but I'm looking at that heavier stuff coming now.

Should be twice the size target to hit though so it'll all balance out. Thought I was getting CoD for Xmas but got let down. Gonna have to get it sorted.

So it might warm up soon or it might not then?....

A good night? That's living the dream mate! If Carlsberg did nights in...

Each to their own Keih. I'll just carry on enjoying the snow if you don't mind

Yeh Paul. I'm at DH8 5 and peterf is at DH8 8

WE HAVE SNOW!!! Very light but it's the starter before the main course.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a snow cloud...is it a snow cloud :wub:

Jesus I think that last radar update moved about 2 pixels to the west. It's in no rush like!

I can't handle the stress man. I got ready for work this morning, had one go at getting the car and now here I am 15hrs later with my work clothes still on and in serious need of a Specsavers. I've earned this one!!! edit: My only worry is if we get the gap between the streamer and the stuff to the east.

Haha I wondered if Angela had a pet name for it or summit 'I have a problem'. Surely our bets are covered though - if the easterly doesn't give us that bank out at sea then we'll get the streamer coming down from the NE?!?!

We've got a satellicicle as well mate. Nowhere near as big as that one though. Like it. This was the biggest icicle I've managed to photograph along the road from where I live. Over 2m I reckon. Was gonna send it in to Sky News but I didn't think they'd show it as it wouldn't ave been as impressive as the 4" icicle spotted dahn sarf!

Didn't like that last radar update. I was hoping the streamer at Berwick would make landfall just a touch later. I'm thinking that easterly might be gonna blow it to the west of us.

I can see the cloud bank from my door. Never mind - soon be here

I'm just looking at that off Berwick. If the wind stays the same surely that streamer's got Consett written all over it.

You reckon we're looking OK for the stuff building behind it?

Aye I've just texted my mate from down there and he says nowt but the sky is full of it.

Has it turned more towards you now Paul? You could be in for a treat.

Aye just notice that Paul when I checked my work postcode. I think we might get the next batch if it reaches us.

That strip to the east of me is annoyingly close.

I'm going to straw clutch a little here but there is a skinny band just to the east of Sunderland which has developed and has intensifed slightly. It might Durham/Tyne & Wear, it might not. Something too look out for i suppose. Its not that i don't have enough snow(i have plenty in the garden and the street) but it is a little frustrating when you see PPN 15 miles away too you, which then misses you, hits another place and when it does look like it will head in your direction, there is very little left on it. I suppose there is no point of moaning about it but when you get lengthy cold spells like this and you see the end in sight, you really want to make the most of any snow opportunities as possible. GS your optimism is becoming very offputting

Just got some cans of cider out of the boot of the car. Refreshingly slushy straight out of Mother Nature's fridge

Just new myself so probably not the best person to answer. There's some on it's way down now but nobody can so for sure if and when it will hit. There was some this morning which looked like it was going to give Newton Aycliffe a good kicking but it died when it hit the coast. Have you signed up to the radar? I don't understand much about the weather charts yet but it's exciting following the snow on the radar.

Haha. Sky News on location reporter has done an experiment today. She put water in a plastic bottle and a few hours later it started to freeze. It will do pet if it's below freezing!

Must admit I'm getting more confident now looking at that radar.
