I’ve feeling we will do ok here in Teesside. Main frontal stuff will probably focus on the usual suspects of East Anglian, SE and midlands. Ours will be shower activity which over 5-6 days with little thaw could build up. I’m expecting 4-6 inches over the week with drifting and much more up in the Durham dales etc. that sound about right? rob

Very interesting that the models have shown mainly dry air and very much marginal conditions for the coast. Nothing marginal about the 2 inches we’ve had from nowhere this morning 3 miles from the coast in teesside. gives me confidence in two things - that anything that falls will likely be snow this week even here and that I won’t be expecting to know In advance of enough disturbances for precipitation

You shouldn’t pack in. I’ve been here since 2005 and only pop in every winter in the hope of snow. I understand a little but much is over my head. I just pick the posts that give me a sense of whether my chart reading is right

I’m guessing that your use of the term ‘manor’ indicates you live near London ?

in 15 years of lurking around this forum i'm a little bewildered by what i'm seeing at present. On the face of it some of the charts look spectacular, high pressure to the north and an obvious E/NE fetch. For us up here on the north east coast first glance would indicate a snow fest. Very rare we've been able to enjoy models like this and some charts seem extremely rare. Close inspection reveals that the cold isn't quite there at present though and this morning we have rain, even the amazing 06z shows milder sectors wrapped in the low that descends late on and conditions again look marginal. Could be climate change or just bad luck i guess - strange days

Roads are fine in Billingham . Snow didn’t settle on roads this am

Had around 30cm over the last three days in the north east. Still a little envious of thy radar! enjoy it folks - very rare

Looks that way - good luck! what are people’s thoughts for teesside overnight? Seems odd , amber warnings but forecast on meto has changed to just light occasional?

Wired I was expecting a few scattered showers today, it’s pretty much constant light snow plus the odd burst. I’d this in like this for the day? It’s not fit to be outside

But in a few hours !

Dartmoor 50cm crikey

Complete whiteout - awesome. Had a snow day so me and the wife took the kids for lunch at the pub. Came home at 3 and there’s already 2 inches on the car , amazing how much these showers can drop; we’ve only had five

It was a brilliant spell on the forums that year I remember not being able to get out of my house for days. Just walked to the pub every afternoon , tragic

There’s another line missing for teesside! Not expecting much tonight but great few days, like the glory years

North Shore and grangefield in Stockton, manor I’m Hartlepool closed

Thunder and lightning here now - brilliant

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb check the animation. You can see the lull for us but look what’s coming out of Europe (meteorologicaly not policitically)

I’m going for a kip with a 3am alarm to check the radar , if there’s nothing showing I’ll go back , if it’s two hours out I’ll be up at five - genius

Surely this can’t be right ......hope it is mind

Near blizzard here, looks ace blowing around. Last one put down half an inch

It is usually isn’t it?

Agreed - if it’s work I’d set off early. If it’s a holiday I’d be booking into an airport hotel. They hardly ever close a runway , traffic is another matter

Definitely dying as the make landfall then probably intensifying with a bit of height inland

Check out the forecast for sedgefield and Billingham 5 miles away - bonkers!

Yes there’s heavy stuff to the north and just to the south. There’s a chance it’s early and pot luck but worryingly it matches the warning maps
