    Sing with me, folks... "It's beginning to look at lot like Bartlett Christmas..."

    Interesting. Well, fingers crossed, but you gotta be thinking overnight fog which becomes persistent if the upper air remains clear. I'm happy for reality to prove the cynic in me wrong though!
  3. Chris Smith
    That persistent high on GFS today has all the hallmarks of Fog and Gloom. Yay!
  4. Chris Smith
    I see what you did there!

    All this rain plus snow-melt is going to make for some swollen rivers.
  6. Chris Smith
    Man, it's grim out there. Slush, rain, and fog above about 150m. Gotta love the British winter.

    Definitely true for me here. Despite three or four weeks of cold and frost last winter, there was only ever a dusting of snow - ice was a much bigger problem as rain/sleet showers fell on permanently frozen ground. This is probably the most snow I've seen while living here, and that's five years now. ETA: The most snow I've ever seen in one go in this country was in Caterham (Surrey) in Jan 1987. It was 80cm deep on my back lawn.

    Couple of cms here overnight and another heavy shower just rolling through now.

    The Co Durham road cameras tell the tale of this evening. Tow Law and higher for lying snow, so that's 300m+, with a slushy mess 100m to 300m. The Ushaw Moor camera best represents where I am. https://www.durham.gov.uk/weathercameras

    Yeah, that's how it started here (Durham, 120m). ETA: My guess is, as the wind veers NE, we're pulling warmer air off the sea.
  11. Chris Smith
    Yes, but nearly all rain below 200m.

    I predict a riot rink come the morning! It'll be one for the fracture clinics and car body-shops - crunchy!

    Speaking of winter in general, a combo of some decently cold air from Scandanavia and this year's high SSTs in the North Sea could deliver some proper snow dumps. Just have to get everything aligned - which I presume is what happened in 2010.
  14. Chris Smith
    Plenty of ice this morning. This has all the hallmarks of raw high-humidity cold, rain/sleet and early morning ice. Yay.

    You could pretty much draw a 3d topographical map of the NE right now, just from the radar sequence for today; the conveyor of moisture from the sea sure picks out the hills well. Very unusual this side of the Pennines. ETA: I haven't seen any "If only it was January" posts anywhere yet, anyone?
  16. Chris Smith
    Admittedly, I'm not trying to keep a tent up in North Wales, or tow a caravan up the M5, but Betty looked to be not that much in the end. Over here t'other side of the Pennines, it rained a bit and there's a breeze - nothing out of the ordinary even for the time of year.

    Grass is starting to turn yellow. Is this going to be a bit of a dustbowl of a summer?
  18. Chris Smith
    Holy Moly it is unloading out there! Some time later... Well. That cleaned the gutters . Coming your way, Washington & Sunderland...

    Nice cluster of thunderstorms around Durham. I guess after all the dashed hopes of snow in recent weeks, we can dash our hopes on a thundery spring instead.
  20. Chris Smith
    Looks like we have a good 5cm here. Naturally, it's bin day. We always get the weather (usually wind) on bin day.
  21. Chris Smith
    I think you need to be inland, and high up to get much fun out of this one. Never mind - it'll be 10c by Sunday!
  22. Chris Smith
    Animating the recent radar, that's a big pulse of energy coming up from the SW.
  23. Chris Smith
    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?!"
  24. Chris Smith
    Which is weird because I'm in Langley Park, and it's kicking it down.
