And the worst thing is that by the looks of it the far S will get what the mids had this weekend, so LITERALLY the only region in the UK to miss out on this historic event.. will be us. I'm afraid this will make what we got in 2010 look like a pretty sorry runner's up prize.

Whilst being poor for those areas of the N that missed out (if you want snow, that is) - it wasn't just S counties that didn't get any proper snow. -
Where TVS with his photos of Blanchland!!
-
Barely a dusting in Durham... 10 minutes drive away (Road to Tow Law from Quebec), I got as far as this, before the road became unmanageable in a normal-tyred car. The Pennines proper must be awesome... and imagine what this would have been like had the front actually hit us!
-
If you just right click, copy and paste that can work. I SOOOOO want to see them!! No pressure, but the reputation of the region as a snowfest depends on you TVS.
-
I bet it ends up being exactly that: one to watch other Eastern areas get, while we're dry as a bone. LOL
-
Am I right in thinking that these spectacular conditions in the Pennines will still be intact on Thursday? I'm off to Oxford for a few days and by the looks of it this needs more than Sunday morning to see properly.
-
So my Mondeo won't make it! LOL Post pics!!!
-
Cheers Mark! I might do a circuit from Stanhope to Middleton and then back Durham via Woodland and Toft Hill... the Stanhope/Middleton road OK tomorrow morning you reckon? I need to catch a train to Oxford at 2:30pm so I can't run the risk of being caught in drifts!
-
Good luck with that in a biting wind and with frozen ground.
-
So what you mean is, we will still have cold weather but yet again we'll miss out on the snow. Sorry, but how is this good news, Gavin? You can't even put it down to your liking for mild weather!
-
If you want to see some epic snow - way above Dec 2010 at low levels at least - look at: http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twocommunity/yaf_postst10216_Flintshire-Snow.aspx and this post in particular (from NE Wales) http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/twocommunity/yaf_postsm479766_Snow-Reports-ONLY-22-03-13-17-05.aspx#post479766

Spring Model Discussion 21st March 2013 006z onwards...

Or, to put it another way, poor model output this morning for anyone who wants some spring warmth or who desperately needs to get going with sowing,gardening, etc.. -
I know how you feel... however, at no point did any BBC forecast or model show anything different. The only METO forecast showing snow was the 5-dayers with symbols, and they are rubbish.
-
I'm planning a family trip to see some proper snow tomorrow morning... any suggestions? I was thinking of Stanhope up to Wakersley, or possibly Stanhope to Middleton... I'm assuming there are some great depths... but any idea of the roads will be passable?
-
Looking at the models I think we need to get ready to be "that region" that misses out on what will become an historic March. A foot now for mids/N, and lots for the S to come... end of next week, a lot for the S especially... nothing here. Gonna be tough to take.
-
Yep. Despite having a very good number of decent falls and depths (7-8" the best here), for low-lying areas of the NE this has been a winter where we've had to sit back and watch a number of severe events pass us by, often missing us by 20 miles or so. Very frustrating.
-
If you look at the radar you will see an almost perfectly clear patch that covers Durham, Newcastle, and Sunderland. You have to laugh.
-
I'm afraid as I was saying, it's DEFINITELY losing its potency... it'll pick up again, but only as it falls back towards the south. Sorry lads!
-
I'm not sure what came over me. Must be some dodgy milk in my brew.
-
I'll admit the big blob to our south looks like it might hit.. more so for the Pennines as there is a slight SE to NW movement. That said, it doesn't look particularly potent.
-
I was going to say, your font is about the same size as the best snowflakes we're going to get tonight. LOL
-
If you're realistic then anything good will be a special bonus and all the more enjoyable. ;-)
