SNOW-MAN2006

Hmmmm, look at that percipitation over the far north east! That is un real! In some spots over 32cm per hour! Blizzard on a mammouth scale... nice band on course for newcastle... think i might just miss out, but keepin fingers crossed i might just catch the edge of the band!my location highlighted! Please move 20 miles south! SM06

" stop there atlantic this is my country" says the greenland high, as he casts blizzards down through Whitburn and all surrounding areas Thats my ramp for the night over and done with, i cna sleep at ease now... with on eye open on the window.... Infact i can sense a top gear moment there... "Some say he wets himself when it snows outside... And that he keeps one eye open at night to keep an eye on the lampost... all we know is hes called the stig!!!!" SNOW-MAN2006

Whilst i dont read to much into percipitation amount forecasts im not guna complain if that big 30 is over me on thursday haha, i regret to inform you all that this chart has made my night....

Yes, it has just passed by my street, if i had drove a mile or two down the road i would have been in it, but at my house we had a few flakes and light sleet for 5 minutes! Why oh why lord!??! lol, more to come later though im sure of it

well whilst temperatures are up slightly, to as someone mention before 2.8 showers are still falling as snow and no noticeable thaw from anything really, i always use the garden fence as a goo measure of thaw, and there is no drops coming off it, so ground temps must be holding off the 2m temps... big shower on a collision course with whitburn atm :blink:

Haha loved Look north weather forecast... the forecast eneded with "and the cold might not end this week, or next, it could last all the way through january!" haha

Think your guna miss out on the heavy stuff, i think the real heavy stuff is guna he hitting sunderland in this shower, but none the less still moderate snow in this shower for a good 25-30 minutes... And it has just made landfall here in Whitburn....

big heavy shower heading into Tyne and wear in the next quarter hour or so, following on from this will be a quite spell for an hour or two then more showers possibly making in roads... this big shower could give 30-45 minutes of moderate to heavy snow due to how slow its moving...

I hope your right SNOW MACKEM, but i wouldnt hold out much hope, whilst yes im expecting more than the GFS is currently showing, i am not expecting 4-6 inches highlight by other members, if we get another inch i think well do well. What is shearly amazing about this cold snap is the length, not the bitter cold nor the snow depths, it is sheerly the length. I dont think we have got much above 5 degrees now in 3 weeks. One thing i would have traded this cold snap in for, 3 days of heavy snow in comparison to 8cm's and 3 weeks of it being very cold. There is plenty of time yet though for me to have to dig my way out my front door, but im running out of time because i need it for monday to get my Further Pure 2 Maths exam called off! SNOW-MAN2006

This is what the above chart is forecasting... Very good for the NE of the NE, not so good for midds ... Tyne and Wear may just get lucky later on, but the main snow risk is for places like boulmer... SM06

Here is the small band of moderate snow currently intensifying.... SM06

That band looks like re-intensifying now on the radar, its very very very slow moving though, so even 2 hours of light snow should give some nice coverings to the region, with snow showers following behind... i aint gun complain... tomorrow night is looking good too <_< Bring on the WALL SNOW!!!! ^That was terrible wasnt it^ haha

What a load of tosh! It currently is showing no accumulation over the NE when there is a good 7/8 cm in my garden.... if it cant get it right at 00 hours i doubt itll be right in 24 or even 72!

If these showers keep together they will hit us around 9pm tonight... this was predicted yesterday by the NMM (high res)hopefully they will survive on the NNE Winds B) But look at wed ... :o BUT Thurs AM.... SM06

Maybe not but they certinaly give a good idea as to where we can expect snow. Maybe not so accuratley for showers but definatley so for bands of longer spells of percipitation SNOW-MAN2006

Well a nce dusting this morning ontop of the melted stuff yesterday... a little less than i expected but still better than nothing atall... AS in terms of snowfall for today i dont expect more copious amounts of snow, but snow showers should still rattle down the coast from time to time.... now tonights snowfall is downgraded slightly now only giving 1-2 hours of snow and its quite a slender line,and slightly delayed but good news is plenty of snow showers are left behind in its wake (now its the NMM UK MODEL HIGH RES that has picked this system up, the standard gfs has not however).... but should give those nearer to thecoast some moderate snowfall, perhaps heavy at times... Then tomorrow seems the quietest day all week.... Tuesday sees the snow come in then pretty much linger around as more troughs or longer spells of snow come in... wednesday could see snow pretty much the whole day for some if the gfs is to be believed... Then thursday through the weekend tends to see things die away somewhat in terms of percipitation atleast, but thats not to say convection out in the north sea wont carry on these showers... Thats the way things are looking this morning, Tuesday into wednesday is look like the best oppurunity for most.... but all will be revealed in time... SNOW-MAN2006

Well im giving up the battle to stay awake, i am now going to retire and hopefully we will have a little bit of a top up by tomorrow, even 2 cm is a bonus tonight, try and cover that thick ice that is out there! ill be setting my alarm for 8am! And then need to pop along to the local nationalcar to see a man about hiring a snow plough for tuesday onwards Night all!

Well those roads and pavements that arent gritted are unbelieveable! Ice everywhere, so slippery it is unreal! i literally skid all the way round the walk with the dog... atleast one part of meto warning was right TWS Direct hit for us here if those showers dont die away? SM06

quote name='Thundery wintry showers' date='02 January 2010 - 22:13 ' timestamp='1262470433' post='1691830'] True- I heard one of the motorways near Edinburgh is shut! I expect the zone of showers that aren't fizzling out to slowly weaken but transfer south overnight though, so some of us will still get some. Snow shower headed for Cleadon at the moment, temp oscillating a bit (went up from 0.6 to 1.8, now down to 1.0)

There is some huge showers already forming for newcastle and sunderland, they are still over 100 miles out at sea so plenty more time for them to continue to grow before the big ones make landfall.

Just subscrbed to NW extra for a month see what i think... tomorrow evening looks like more organised band of showers may move through around 7pm giving most of us an hour or two of moderate snow...leaving quite a few showers behind in its wake

still just getting bursts of snow! A continuation of thaw... come on why cant the snow be more prolonged!?!?

Already ha thundersnow TWS, on New Years Eve there was a huge flash of lightening during the late evening period towards our SW, then again last night to our south! Quite spectacular really

If we can retain a good snow cover i dread to think what kind of accumulations we will have by this time next week... 50cm + ?
