Southeasterly normally favours eastern Scotland but we will see. I'm trying to remain positive

Sorry Phil i did not mean upgrade for our area, just generally that the snow might keep going as was originally forecast to tail off midweek 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This is an upgrade for me from the met, showers might turn lighter on Wednesday . Now snow showers added fro Friday 

 

Wednesday:

Snow showers continuing through Wednesday might turn lighter and less frequent later, with some bright or sunny spells. Northeasterly winds will be less strong than of late. Feeling very cold. Maximum temperature 1 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Drier and brighter during Thursday with light winds, Strong southeasterly winds developing for Friday and Saturday with a chance of snow showers - mainly near coasts. Staying very cold.

Morning All

An ok covering here in Whitley Bay, not brilliant but better than what we have had in recent years or the attempts around and after xmas when it was just too marginal.

Not jumping to join Nicks club yet though the badge was tempting but this has been no BFTE, see what next 24-36 hours brings but i for one wont be getting taken in again by the main model ( i mean southern) thread.

I will look for as a min -15 uppers with a long fetch from Eastern Europe / Russia or from a huge scandi / artic high. This has been nothing like 2018 and one of the things i remember with that was the wind as bedroom faces east and the sheer noise of it was amazing , hard to explain

Like i say enjoy what we get over next 24-36 hours but its not been what i hoped for

Not quite would be my guess, probably more North Blyth/Bedlington, need a NE feed to push that your way.

Agree that’s where its hit 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This looks like a direct hit for us in Whitley 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Newcastle going to get plastered off that red echo

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Really heavy snow now at Whitley bay , it’s getting going at last 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Spoke too soon, proper flakes now 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Just had a heavy shower here in Whitley bay but still that grauple/ polystyrene stuff, still no flakes

My point is...its not luck.. It's a scientific effect.  Need NE wind for showers here

Same for Whitley bay again!!, looks like we may get hit in about an hour but last few hit blyth area 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This seems to happen quite often , sure it did in 2018 as well, showers go either side, I’m sure its to do with the river Tyne or am i over thinking it 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

I think its starting to fire up, or is that wishful thinking

Thicknesses are lower due to their proximity to the low. We're literally stuck in the "not close enough but also not far enough away" zone at the minute. 2nd image shows the thickness dropping off our coast about 2am.

Great thanks Gary 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

What i dont get is this low to the south stopping convection off NE coast yet this circled red is growing all the time and is south of us 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Typical in between streamers!! 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Looked at radar, like 2018 streamer setting up to north, hit ashington / Morpeth area and one to south - Durham area

Good met update for tonight

Headline:

Very cold with snow mainly in the east.

This Evening and Tonight:

Snow continuing over southeast England but starting to ease for many. Windy with drifting snow continuing. Snow showers for northeast England and east Scotland with some accumulations likely. Icy stretches for parts of Northern Ireland. Cold for all.
