Just landed here... not got the snow as yet though

Well, went and snowboarded the golf course... wasn’t quite the alps , but had some great craic with my brother. Much much needed downtime after a bloody awful 12 months!

@Phil Blake @P-M looks like that big one we were hoping would come through our way is going to head through Northumberland

6Z GFS is a interesting run 

Does indeed, and ties into the Meto long range, which they seem to be sticking by at the moment!

Most interested in this lot, hopefully they keep building well. 

They 'could' drop a substantial amount possibly!!

Moderate graupel at the minute. Sprung up out of nowhere 

I'm noticing those that generate 'in-land' fall as graupel, like this one, but the ones that come via the sea, are falling as snow?

Track this one back, and it forms on the coast.

Biggest flakes I’ve seen this winter coming down now

Hey guys, looks like a better start this morning. I have some stuff to drop off at our solicitors. Can anyone update on road conditions up Stanley way? Need to travel from Whickham to Durham, usually go to Stanley and down into Durham that way.

I would imagine they will be difficult. Wife came home from work last night, and they'd had a couple on inches. I'll be taking here up around 08:30, so will let you know

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Snowed here now for probably an hour, maybe a little more. Looking at the radar, snowboarding down the golf course looks like it could be a possibility later today

I'm just up at south pelaw

At least the park won't be green now 

I'm going to drive the wife up to work (Greencroft, Stanley) and see how much they've got up there now. She said there was a couple of inches when she left work last night.

It’s been snowing here now for a good 20mins, and coming in heavy again now after easing up a little.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Morning peeps!

 

Well, this is much much better, and the radar looks chocker full!

Now need to find my hat if I’m going to eat it!

One little flurry is our total snowfall or lack of it 8 miles from Newcastle, Some places in Scotland have had 15 cms + lucky sods.

 

I've asked Glencoe to bag some up, ready for when we can go and play in the snow over the border..... might be a while!

I got shot down on Saturday night, Sunday night and on Monday for saying I was disappointed and that I didn't expect much. It's coming, it's coming I was told. To be fair, it looks like it might have been but was snatched away at every opportunity. 

The only the only thing that's coming is disappointment, followed by spring!

There has been murmurs about the Scottish stuff spinning around and heading down our way but i'm not holding out hope. 

There was a rumour that they'd be 5-10cms everywhere by now too
