I tend to be very wary when forecasters completely downplay an event. Since Saturday we've talked about the low, lack of troughs, high cloud... maybe they saw this and we didn't back on Friday/Saturday. -
If this does continue to be such a poor affair, I think we need seriously to reevaluate our amateur-enthusiast dismissal of what forecasts show leading up to an event.
-
Not sure about that. Not with that kind of wind, but I can recall at least 1 really decent snow episode every 2 since 2009. Certainly better than this.
-
Something like this from 2018: snow2.mp4
-
OK, so that's Consett in June. What about a winter one?

You're already on the membership list. Card will have been sent out. As ever, you should assume the worst and that it has got lost in Belmont Postal Centre. It's all about accepting disappointment as the default of life.

Your membership card is in the post.

It's not happening for Durham, CLS, Sunderland areas I'm afraid. Bit rubbish when places in Lancs are getting more snow from an Easterly than Durham. FGS.
-
Can someone explain why everywhere from Teesside south has got really decent stuff, whereas from Teeside to North of Newc the sea looks completely different? (i.e., rubbish)
-
Seems to be clumping south of us, but nothing in Durham of note.
-
Yes, the usual me, lol. But, tbf, I'm also aware that some of us really didn't get lucky at all last night, so trying to to work out if we're all going to get some soon.
-
EDIT: Because the N Sea isn't looking great right now near us.
-
Morning. We got lucky with the showers in Durham. The wind is stripping a lot though. Does anyone know whether we're due to have a packed N Sea like E'lies of bygone years at any point so that we all get a decent amount? The kind where a single big shower can lay an inch in no time?
-
Back to graupel. :|
-
Flakes. We finally have flakes.
-
So many places to the south of us getting peppered!
-
Still graupel. Any idea when it should change to proper stuff?
-
I welcome all today's new members to my Club of Permanent Doom. We don't have much fun; we don't hope for much; we don't do optimism. That's it. There is no 'but'. Badges sent in the post. But as they'll probably get lost, I wouldn't bother expecting them any time soon.
-
What has happened that this state of affairs is lasting at least half a day if not whole 24 hours longer than many were predicting as recently as this morning, though?
-
So now it's Monday AFTERNOON? I mean... :/
-
I'm with you. Believe me, I desperately wanted my negativity to be proved unduly pessimistic, rather than realistic, but at the moment... :/
-
Sorry but this is rubbish. There is actually less activity between the Northumberland streamer and the Teesside streamer (not that either of them are very good) than an hour ago. I've noticed people keep pushing this back... now it's "nah, it was never due to get going until Monday". Sat pm... then Sunday... then Sunday evening/night... I'm spotting a pattern.
-
Oh, look. In between the streamers. :|
-
It's official: the weather is trolling us. The streamers only intensify once they're past the newly-coined Stanhope Gap.
