Having just returned home from a night out in Newcastle ....
THAT wind tonight is bitter. Painfully bitter actually.
At least it feels very wintry!

wind had me up most of the night....
Goodness me. Genuine question, do you do that thing where you waft the duvet to see what it smells like?
That wind today was ridiculous! I'm really surprised my garden fence is still in tact (must get a new one sorted this year!).
Good to have some "weather" to talk about though ... and hopefully a colder February.
-
It's been pleasantly mild though.
If I'm honest, if we can't have freezing cold and snowy weather then this weather type suits me.

Final day of the cold spell and its feeling bitter
All change tomorrow with some heavy rain in the morning drier by the afternoon and a lot milder
Do you know something, ahead of that band of rain the wind today was absolutely biting up here. The car thermometer said 3c but easily felt like -3 or lower.
The rain today briefly started sleety but was very rapidly replaced by rain.
I suspect it will feel quite pleasant this weekend as temperatures go from 3c to 13c potentially! Positively balmy!

True, but that fall was awesome for at least an hour and better than what others are getting currently. I never saw these synoptics as good for us anyway. Wasn't it always going to be about stalling systems from the west? We need a NE'ly.
We've still had more snow than other parts of England this season.
Hi Nick, sorry for the late reply ... work gets in the way at times!
I seem to recall one run (I know!) showing NE'lies screaming across us, but never mind!
We had a good 3 hours of heavy snow where I work at Cobalt Business Park near the Silverlink (A19) and it settled a treat right from the off. Which is odd considering there was more snow (and it hung around longer) nearer the coast than it did further inland at home nearer Newcastle centre.
Anyway, the chilly weather is nearing the end now for another year

Agree boro snow. Seems like yet another disappointing winter. Just cant see us getting any snow.
I tend to agree. There were seemingly some amazing charts and synoptics being forecast a week ago, and other than the heavy snow we had for 3 hours last Thursday morning (which has pretty much all but melted now), it's been a let down really.
-
Bot all here!
-
Well that was a pleasant surprise this morning!
Set off from home to work, rain with a little sleet mixed in. By the time I'd reached Benton it was heavy wet snow. By the time I'd got to work near West Allotment it was heavy settling snow which continued unabated for over 3 hours leaving a lovely covering.
Cold and crispy out there now with residual snow cover freezing over.
-
Generally rain with the odd smattering of sleetiness chucked in.
I think this cold spell will turn out to be a damp squib here so good luck to everyone else!

Wasn't any snow at tan went over the stang was little patches of snow, hopefully get some in good old Darlington next week
Stop being so impatient!
Thanks to DSP and Doctor for the replies. Much appreciated fellas.
43yo and I'm still enjoying the wintry chase! Ah for a 2009 repeat, going to bed at 10am and everywhere bone dry, then waking up to 7" of level snow 1 mile from the centre of Newcastle was superb!

Judging by the mood in the MO thread, this cold spell is starting to go the way of the pear somewhat. Although as most posters on that thread live darn sarf it's hard to judge how much NIMBYism is at play when they interpret the charts!
Can any of the more knowledgeable posters shed any light on the latest developments please?
Saw some brightness today, not sunshine but brightness.

The lack of daylight lately especially with the amount of rain we've had has been utterly awful.
Hopefully some sunny days to go along with this cold spell! And ice days

I can barely remember seeing the sun so far this year!

Wearing a coat in the north east is frowned upon 365 days a year haha don't worry about it!

Although women .... well less is best shall we say

Apologies for being a downer but do we really want -8 or 9C when they could be cutting the heating off. I'm a fan of the cold as much as any other bugger on here but I think my patience might be tried in those conditions.
Yup, it's great to see. I think there's a lot of us who lurk and then post when the realistic prospect of cold comes around. I'll try and make an effort to become more interested in zonal borefests when they come back around in March.
I love extreme weather types and all weathers in general. Do pop in frequently throughout the year.

Cheers - I've just looked at a BBC Weather forecast from January 3rd 2010 and it's definitely E'y at that point. I know we're getting out of the realm of regional discussion so apologies to other users.
It's good to see this thread buzzing again and popular.

So are we not looking at north-easterlies anymore as things stand?
-
Thanks DSP. A lot of effort and an easy ish post to understand
-
I'd like to ask a favour.
Would the knowledgeable chaps please give us as many updates as possible please in terms of the upcoming cold weather?
Chance of snow etc (and where) as we approach the event would be really appreciated, and if you post charts so we could all learn it'd be fantastic if you can.
Thanks.

In January too! Pretty exciting, I think the amount of WAA heading up towards Greenland could be the deciding factor, hopefully as much as the ECM!
NE winds = snow making machine!

Downgrades will follow in the morning

Tonight's charts look a bit tasty!
2010-esque dare I say?
-
It appears (as others have alluded to above) that rather than persistent heavy rain, we are getting heavier showers in amongst the lighter stuff. Which is probably a good job because when it comes down heavy, it really does come down and that would definitely lead to flooding I reckon.
It seems to have been dull, dank and predominantly wet now for days! More of the same for tonight and tomorrow but then by 11am on Thursday the sun comes out!
Thursday morning seems along way off though ....
-
The rain has been relentless now for a few hours. It's lashing against the window in a decent breeze which sounds awesome.
The forecast for Newcastle says it's going to rain non-stop between 18:00 today until the early hours of Thursday morning! If this keeps up I'd be surpised if there isn't a fair amount of flooding round these parts.
