    I'm with you all the way with frustration Nick but think like that write up says we have a lot to be optimistic about .

    I mean, i clearly won't be saying that when streamers set up and give Teesside 50cm of snow and I get 1cm but you know you gotta be in it to win it

    Oh God. Did you have to mention that? The nightmare of the poorly-placed streamer! I can see the Teesside one forming now...

    Where's me noose!?!?!!

    OK... some positivity. The Meto has Durham down for a low of heavy showers throughout Sun night to Wed. We then get this for the Thurs-Sun forecast:

    A cold start to the period with strong easterly winds. Heavy and frequent snow showers are likely across northern and eastern areas, especially over northeastern England and eastern Scotland. Nevertheless, plenty of bright sunny weather is likely further south, although there is a small threat of persistent snow and rain across parts of southwest England on Thursday. As the period progresses, it will be remaining cold or very cold with brisk winds but potentially turning milder over southwestern then western areas for a time. Outbreaks of rain and showers are likely across western and northern areas, whilst mostly dry and bright in the east and southeast. Further snow and attendant wintry hazards continuing to affect northern areas but possibly becoming increasingly settled by the end of the period.

    Does it really matter? The weather will do what it does no matter who thinks what.  The atmosphere and conditions and forecasts are primed in favour for us so not sure what the negativity is about.  

    So it's been pushed back a few hours we're still looking at a decent spell of weather. 

     

    If by tomorrow it's like this then I'll join your wagon but for now I'd just enjoy the potential and excitement as this is what it's about.  

    All I did was correct someone's claim about conditions elsewhere and point out that we seem to be saying we never expected anything until tonight, when we'd actually been rubbishing the BBC for forecasting nothing until tonight. That's not negativity, just trying to be objective about what's being said. Is that a bad wagon to be on?

    Nick, you can come out now they’ve had nothing noteworthy down South just like us.

    I'm afraid that's reverse cherry-picking from some on here.

    I've got reports - and pics - of 10-15cm already.

    As for people saying the meto/bbc never really had anything heavy down for us for today... seems like we've forgotten how we were all rubbishing the BBC as not knowing what it was talking about with its forecasts. Fair enough, we might have a cracking next few days, but there's a lot of rewriting of history in here of  people making out we never expected anything until Sunday night anyway, when we clearly did.

    Good old Nick , he is in the positive room now his day of graft is done, he will be even more positive over the coming hours as it's getting to that time folks, snow showers must be virtually upon us all now.

    Faired up a bit here at the moment but I just know the next lot of ppn coming in will be all snow !!

    I'm a miserable, pessimistic bstd. I admit that, made much, much worse by work stress. But when good stuff comes, I jump in with both feet.

    Every post of yours is negative, either complaining that EA/SE are going to get more snow than us, or it's not snowing yet here. None of the charts were showing snow this afternoon, except for the highest ground. Everything is more or less as expected so far, except a slight delay of a couple of hours.

    That's simply not true. GFS has been showing snow across the region (E) at this time for days now.

    Also: yeah, I've had negative posts (guess what - I've had a sh.tty week and sometimes it comes out that way), but that wasn't one of them.

    I think you need a new hobby mate, this one seems to just upset you.

    It was never going to be heavy snow around this time, I've had 8pm as my time for Teesside for a realistic change from rain to snow, so probably 7pm for low lying parts of Durham/Wearside.

    Looking at the latest charts though I'd possibly delay that by an hour or two.

    Eh? Not upset. Just reporting what conditions are like. Where do you read upset in that post? GFS and others had snow for several hours now. Hence: underwhelming. No need for that dig.
