I wonder if any of the  snow currently showing on radar over Cumbria will get across the hills to the N.E. today

My lowest temp recorded overnight was a perishing -7.5c

Washington some big flakes. Trying to explain why the pennines take most of the power before it reaches the east to the other half.

This winter I've had 25 degrees in January  thanks to canary Isles. Snow and rain. Next month more sun in Tenerife. Bring it on. At the other half's tonight in Washington so don't expect much. Good luck too those  higher up

Looks quiet for a while so I'll ask a question, is there a place in the world to live with snowy winters and hot summers ?

Yes, I used to live in St Louis. Used to get the coldness from Chicago and in summer all the Midwest heat.

It's been snowing pretty heavy since 9pm probably put down a couple of inches.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Yay, we have snow. Not lying yet, that's one for the morning! That makes the grand total of 6 days this winter here that snow has fallen, pathetic but probably twice as much as the last two winters put together. Loads to come over the next few days too, yeeehaaa!

I think it's only about six days it hasn't snowed up here in Consett since Christmas.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Almost blizzard conditions now.

The showers such as they are appear to be generally light but you should get some small accumulation , her sleet is more likely.

The showers are quite heavy about seven. Already a covering on the ground.
