I must admit, snow at the weekend when not having to drive to work will be a pleasure.
Count me in ?
-
I’m going to Middlesbrough later and staying over. Might see a bit of snow before as the good Doctor says, the gentle thaw commences
-
Light snow showers here. Nothing remarkable
-
The sky is orange...

Is that a snowstorm or the winds whipping up the snow?
Both, it was ludicrous!
-
Light sleety/snow here now, leaden skies with no breaks as far as the eye can see...

I drove from the east side of Newcastle to the west earlier today, taking in the A189 up to the A19. The drifts are fabulous, the snow had folded over numerous times, wish I could have stopped to take some pics. However, this is what I encountered on Wednesday morning when I attempted to drive to Consett!

I have never seen drifts like the ones we got yesterday, this winter has been really good i feel not many mild days. I am now looking forward to warmer weather.
As much as I love the cold and snow, cold without snow or any prospects of meaningful snow does always seem a tad pointless. I can’t say I’ll be sorry to feel a little bit of warmth on the back of my neck, particularly on days like today when it’s just cloudy and raw. I haven’t seen the sun since Monday afternoon, so when it does return it’ll be welcome.

Ouch, that's a bit harsh and to be fair he's not the only one to have a mild winter bias.
There's another who now seems to spend most of his time in the Short range model discussion thread which means he seems to have disappeared from the MOD. Good news!
Well he gets some stick for his mild ramping and high pressure ramping on the MOD thread, so it is noticeable to many posters on this site that he gets some kind of enjoyment from the decline of colder weather. Personally I love cold and snow and weather extremes, be it cold, icy, windy or wet, but I’m not on here all day everyday of the year searching for the weather I want. Moreover I just enjoy whatever is thrown at us and accept it for what it is and what we are given, rather than searching for a breakdown of the weather I don’t like and then celebrating it like a lunatic!

Is this deliberate trolling?
Have you not noticed, he’s been like this for years. He seems to get some kind of perverse enjoyment out of seeing some people (not me I hasten to add) deflated by weather. He’s a bit weird to put it MILDLY, and he even has people on the MOD thread laughing at him with his bias towards certain weather types. You’ll notice that whenever cold weather arrives, he’s the only poster I’ve seen actively looking for milder weather to return ?

Light snow grains here, wind has abated a lot. Last night the wind was howling through Wallsend and the sno grains were flying horizontally at approximately 637mph!
-
I’m somewhat surprised but also disappointed. We were forecast heavy snow from 14:00 to 23:00 yesterday and had nothing. I was hoping this cold snap might have ended with a bit of a bang but it perhaps wasn’t to be.
-
I go up to Consett regularly. Have a ridiculously good video from up there earlier today.

The cold extending to the middle of next week... Expect this to continue being extended, no real warm up on the cards.
Wish i lived near consett sometimes.
Gav will be furious with this post.

Bored of very little shower activity. Tuesday night was amazing...

As it stands, I still put Nov/Dec 2010 above this for the length of the spell, the sheer weigh and volume of the snow, the fact it was all big flakes, and the fact the Wear froze over!
LOVE the blizzards this time, though. That, for me, is the defining feature of this spell.
Completely agree, this is a cold snap not spell. 2009 & 2010 were Bette in terms of snow amounts and longevity

East of Newcastle having some heavy showers moving through
Not particularly heavy, and more snow pellets than snow flakes. Pretty quiet here this afternoon
-
Shower activity has been relatively quiet today, but we’re forecast heavy snow showers in the next hour onwards. We’ll see,,,
-
For those people querying shower distribution, I could be wrong here and stand corrected if I am, but streamers often set up along rivers too. So being in closer proximity to rivers such as the Tyne, Wear or Tees may give people in these areas an added advantage.
As as I say, I stand to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me, but in my experience of living up here, this may explain intensity and shower distribution.
-
For my area heavy snow/heavy snow showers from 14:00 til 23:00. To say that the radar is drying up and snow risk dissipating is disingenuous to say the least.
-
The wind here is now a serious bone chiller. It literally feels like your skin is burning.
-
Drive down from cowgate towards Newcastle at 6am, and under the flyover just before the A1058 turn off, there were icicles about 3 foot long hanging from the flyover roof. Truly amazing sight!

And the snow starts again!

Slate dark grey cloud here but not snowing which is unusual given the conditions of the past 48hrs.

Yes mainly polystyrene showers so far today. But if the good Doctor says more snowier this evening then that’s good enough for me.
That wind is biting again today though!
