    I could understand these METO criticisms if they were coming from people who had no idea about how weather systems work and the problems of computer models in these situations... but we're on a WEATHER SITE where we have been following and seeing just how hard it is!! Sorry but the above posts are completely baffling... I'm tempted to say they're trolling, TBH. Joke.

    All the forecasts are going for it (METO, BBC), adn GFS does predict snow (see the meteociel versions).
  3. NickR
    Nope. Meanwhile Friday looks like seeing heavy snow in Mids, E Anglia and poss SE... this would be more than frustrating. I don't mind areas to the south getting a load, but not when we've had none!!

    It's breezy out.My anemometer is poorly placed but is recording gusts in the 30-35mph bracket, which means it's a lot more than that. Nearby PWS has recorded 45mph... I've had enough of wind now, thanks.

    Awful 18Z GFS - takes storm and the snow risk further south - looks like a day watching a lot of people from mids south getting pasted while we get nowt.

    Yes - flurries aside there's been nothing this calendar year! Not been great for the Pennines at all, even considering last NOv/Dec... for me it was the 09/10 which was the best I've seen the Pennines - up to a metre of the stuff - incredibly beautiful to drive through.

    You might find this useful - it's a link to traffic weather sensors. SCroll to our area and enlarge - there's one in Ushaw Moor and another in Tow Law. One in Consett too - all on your side. You should get a sense of temps in Lanchester via those. http://www.trafficweather.info/roadWeather/rwisMap.jsp

    Kudos if that's how it turns out, because that's a world away from all the computer output atm.

    I was here 07/08 - I'm pretty sure I remember one heavy fall that year, but it turned to rain with about 4" on the ground, so you had to be quick! So they're not common... here's hoping we don't have one this year!

    When was the last time the NE (lowlying) had an essentially snowless winter? [i ask because I've got a bad feeling this may be one!]
  11. NickR
    If ECM 12Z verifies, then they won't be issuing any at all.
  12. NickR
    Cheers TWS. Just hoping for some snow for the kids I guess... hoping that a trip up Weardale will be worth it at the weekend though.
  13. NickR
    That's how I see it. Unless the Irish Sea produces something or we get some sort of orographic take-off over the Pennines, I can't see this happening.
  14. NickR
    Radar seems to be dying for the NE - not sure what people are seeing that I'm not. The system to the north won't come further south, surely! I can't see much being formed over the Irish Sea or over the Pennines. What am I missing?
  15. NickR
    Well, the non-event might hit the south; the actual event here and now affects the north... go figure. <_<
  16. NickR
    We might get some on Friday... but nowhere near as much as Mids/EA/SE, who all look set to get a decent amount of frontal snow... while we get scraps.
  17. NickR
    Isn't that just typical! Friday's low downgraded so much that now it looks like heavy snow in the S and SE... the worst possible outcome!... I hate it when they get more snow than us!!
  18. NickR
    Brief wet snow here just now.
  19. NickR
    Reporting absolute pressure is a total waste of time, though.
  20. NickR
    Most of Manchester PWS are reading 980mb. Might want to check callibration.
  21. NickR
    It won't.
  22. NickR
    What's a "Boyd"?
  23. NickR
    I was about to edit that to 00z... give us a chance!
  24. NickR
    So, UKMO has it north again - eye passes over border area/NEng - so pretty bad for mids/south. ECM 12Z has it half way between GFS adn ECM. Lots of uncertainty.
  25. NickR
    GFS 12Z has teh storm over France. Barely a breeze over most of the UK! Snow possible though as a result of the more southerly track.
