Got 13 inches here now so only 26 inches to go to beat 2010!

Sorry I was thinking for you to hit 30 cm should have been more specific.

Getting close out here

 

One more shower is all you need.

From memory this exceeds 2010 in terms of snow depth in amble.

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

Power flickering a couple of times here in amble, hope it doesnt go off. Wind and snow have been horrendous through the night, drifting pretty badly in places....and plenty more to come.

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

Almost blizzard like showers in amble on and off since 5pm and looking at radar plenty more coming this way.

The temperature must have got up above 0 after the main snow hit here.  There seems less depth now then at 2am, despite more snow falling. There is just under 3" of wet snow.  Should have been 4.

The whole thing is a damp squib.

What a let down, wet roads, slight snow on edges of paths....ive had enough of chasing snow. BRING ON SPRING.

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

Ok im off to sleep if I dont have 4 inches of the white stuff when I get up at 5:45 I'll be calling for spring to show its face.

The intensity in your area is so weak you wouldnt see much, give it 20 mins it should change by then.

Red dots increasing in size and amount....

If you are lucky enough to get alignment with the intense core of the snake you are in for a real pasting here.  Some red areas starting to appear now which is greater than 10mm per hour of rain.  Not sure how much snow that would be in these conditions, but enough to cause mayhem

10mm equals 10cm roughly.

Looking very interesting,  this band ahead of the main low was not forecast by any model as far as I know looks like it is intensifying,  nice little surprise. The main band is still developing so very hard to tell where the must intence precipitation will end up.

Nice little base for the real stuff.

Actually is the front still developing

It is still developing and it looks like a radar fault on the southern flank it just doesn't look right, cuts off to quickly.

I've been tracking this area of precipitation all evening and to me it looks like making landfall somewhere  around the Blyth area and then heading see from there.Just my uneducated opinion though!

I agree, would have guessed Whitley Bay so only a few miles between our respective predictions. 

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

The first bulk off the n'land coast is increasing intensity as it approaches. I expect the main front to follow and hit further north than initially predicted.

Downgrade for Boulmer on met office, now showing tonight as a sleet event. If that becomes the case I'll not be happy.

Copied from the Yorkshire bit

It does look much better on this radar....faith is restored.

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

It doesnt seem to be developing that well in my eyes.

I'm gonna take a guess around tyne and wear and north of there ?

Could be a decent call this.

From Berwick to Hull and we'll all be happy.

Local weather cam just went below freezing at -0.2 

Here's a link for any one interested, few spread around the area

Thanks for posting, going to be good to look at over next few days. Anyone aware of similar for northumberland?

[Far north and northeast of England - regional chat]

And falling as snow over the sea so should be no issue of whether its marginal for the costal areas tonight. Living right on the coast we've had wet snow from much higher uppers and from a northerly so not worried in the slightest at the moment.
