[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

I love snow. I also love the excitement and anticipation of the build up on the forums. I'm no expert, and can't make head nor tail of the charts and figure posts that go up. But what I do know, is that pretty much every time there has been any whiff of the white stuff since this time last year, as the week progresses, the amazing, severe weather predictions fizzle out to pretty much nothing. Just checked now and lo and behold, yesterday looked excellent from Sat afternoon onwards, solid snow all next week, now it looks as though we will be lucky if we get anything over the weekend, and I'm sure it will drop off the radar next week too. 

I wish I could keep off the forums and just look out of the window!! But I can't.

 

Anyone any predictions for Cramlington? Maybes we are just too close to the salty sea........

The scene here in Seghill us something I haven't witnessed for years. Gale force winds, and constant blizzards. If this lasts the rest of the day I think it will eclipse 2010.

Couple of light fluffy showers here so far, nice heavy clouds rolling in from the sea. Hope it continues to build :-)

Hi all. Greeting from sunny Seghill in Northumberland ? I absolutely love snow and these mad weather events, but I don't understand all of the technical data ? Reading these pages is like a rollercoaster...one minute it's mega snow and chaos, then not sure, then it's moving South etc etc! I think ultimately the most reliable course of action is simply to look out of my window this week.
