P-M

I wouldn't say it looks boring at all. The ppn charts aren't the best at picking up convective stuff. I mean the snow I had wasn't really forecast to any decent degree. Meto weather warnings in force now so see what happens as the day progresses. That meto video also showed areas of snow showers pushing into the North east from this afternoon.

Do you have a link to that mate?

It's really wintry out there tonight like. Still 1-2cm laying from last night in places, freezing dense fog and -1.5 already. Far from the standard December weather.

I'm working in Newcastle today the East end and I can't believe the lack of snow here! Just shows how localised things are at the moment. I woke up to about 3 to 4 cm this morning back home in Washington.

I agree it's tipping it down and the shower almost stationary. Tried to get a video to show but doesn't do it justice. 20221212_001349.mp4

It certainly does Vee. Plenty more activity behind this if it doesn't fizzle out.

Great to see the white stuff right on the coast too! After a slight lull it's going heavy again now. Got a red blob incoming lol I can't get over how slow-moving these showers are. Over an hour to reach me from you!

Dropped about a cm ish so far here. The sea has defo come to life in parts tonight.

Finally it's took 1 hour and 10 minutes to travel about 6 miles but it's finally snowing! And I'm happy with the radar tonight Been snowing lightly for the last 10 minutes but becoming heavier now...

Radar looking decent for coastal areas. One approaching me as I type with a few more forming behind. Might get a nice little covering by tomorrow morning. Can't believe how much it's come to life in the last hour.

It snows in summer up there man has its own micro climate.

Yeah it's turned back to snow proper here too. Honest I'm glad I'm seeing something but these are just the scraps

Scrap that it's turned to sleet

Light snow here now. Best make the most of it because there's nothing else coming behind this one Well if its any better it's defo snow that's falling from the sky now and not sleet!

It did earlier near me. It literally split in 2 went around my house then sort of joined back up again

Watch

So the radar looks half promising now as they're moving more on shore. However i will wait and see what actually falls from the sky. To be fair good luck to the southerners, so many years they miss out so I'm buzzing they've managed to get some snow this time around. At least up here we usually stand a better chance. Just not this time so far

I've always liked your voice of reality mate lol hopefully we'll get a decent covering mid week?

I don't think anyone was being disrespectful at all. There are as you say many good posters in that thread and I've learned a lot from them. But it's true there can be hype sometimes which I get is excitement, but non the less my point was I'm not going to buy into it. Or at least try not too. I don't think any offence was meant by his comments it's an observation. The MD thread itself is great the majority of the time but this cold spell is nothing like a lot of people hyped it up to be. Not even close yet.

I need to learn not to get sucked into it on the mod thread. It's never anywhere near as severe most of the time when it comes to snow Saying that it has been really cold and festive with a little covering so every cloud and all that.

It was earlier but someone confirmed it was snow right on the coast so see what happens. I'm a bit deflated with the cold spell at the minute lol

Shower activity picking up now near the coast. See the radar returns from half an hour apart. Now the question is.... sleet, rain or snow?!

They use previous days data though. Although there's hints it could turn less cold they're useless useless this far out I find. Anything could happen yet I think.

I think it looks worse mate. Convective activity being squashed out of them as the day goes on. Roll on mid week see what happens then....

Just had the dogs out. Nice little covering in Washington (deeper in some parts depending where the showers hit) overnight and great to see the warning for snow showers Tuesday and Wednesday!!
