If the Met Office don't escalate it, then the Police don't do things like close the snow gates on the A66, hundreds of folks then get themselves stuck on Stainmore Common in a blizzard, and everyone shouts in the tabloids "Why weren't we told?!"
Yes and agree for higher routes but don't think warnings were required for the coast , hardly ever are down here to be fair !
-
Don't like to bash the met office but the warnings this week have been shocking . Us on east coast all week for frequent snow showers, hardly been any. The amber warning today , yes we are not in it but looking at radar its does not look disruptive unless im jumping the gun and its a system coming in later

Snowing here in Whitley Bay an im less than a mile from the coast .......... promising

It has just started to snow slightly here but to be honest I am not expecting much.
Just started here in Whitley bay so good sign temps are low enough as radar had it as a mix

Wednesday 21 Dec - Friday 30 Dec
Early in the period and around Christmas conditions are likely to be less cold than of late though still rather cold in the north. Temperatures in the south more likely to be around average. Spells of rain and stronger winds are likely at times, these mainly impacting central and southern areas. Some northern areas are likely to see wintry showers. Away from the north, any snow will probably be restricted to hills though there is a chance snow could fall to lower levels. Towards New Year, there is the potential for a more settled spell bringing overnight frost and some morning fog patches before a trend towards changeable but probable a little milder condition around the turn of the year.

Snowing here but temp and DP has shot up so think it will be rain before long at the coast

You couldn’t make this up we eventually get a heavy shower and it’s bloody rain
All frost and snow washed away
Concern this as im on the coast but I check Neil Bradshaw weather as he's close at South Shields and showing below freezing still with dew point at -1.8 though it has crept up a little but we should be ok
-
Someone will get a pasting with that huge clump just near Durham !!

Activity to the north of this clump is pepping up and heading towards land quickly....
Yep seems to be a fair few behind main clump , think a good day is in store for most of us in the NE today tbh
-
The Met did forecast showers today would make it inland more. We have had a very heavy one this morning at Whitley Bay and that next clump looks a hit!!

Coming down fairly heavily and it seems to be sticking in Whitley Bay.
That put down a decent top up that shower, hope more to come

That's quite a feature forming off the coast of NE Scotland, wonder if that's due to sink south later ?

You couldn't make this up, a week long freeze and we get a weeks worth of fog. What is going on in the teesside area that seems to effect snow falling? That's a serious question too!!
Just not been our week tbh . The wind direction has not helped . I think initially it was a northerly to NE winds forecast which would have drove these showers in . To see the huge clumps drift past out sea is hard to take but plenty of winter left and we will get our turn .
I will say the fog and ice / frost has made it much more seasonal compared to other years so that's been a plus point

The Met have much more info / data to work with than us so the warning will be justified along the coast where they have indicated . Agree though that showers can be pretty much hit and miss but I wont be surprised if we have a dusting in the morning
