Latest fax!
That look promising. Why didnt the BBC pick up on these troughs. I only watched the forecast 20 minutes ago

As I'm sat gawping at the radar I think I might be able to see the first signs of two possible streamers setting up. I think another member mentioned it earlier. One for Newcastle area and one further south, possible teesside. Can anyone else confirm this?
Possible. Just depends on if they develop or decline before they make land. Showers seem to be doing both
-
BBC going for streamers from midlands south and one Edinburgh / Borders for tonight... Just scattered showers here. But you never know what can develop....
-
As usual... Morpeth area taking a pasting. Used to live there and they always do well from an easterly

First proper snow shower here. Been hail so far. Intensity 8/10 so heavy. Drifting

That is bad luck right there. The nature of showers I suppose.
My point is...its not luck.. It's a scientific effect. Need NE wind for showers here

This was consistently the scence during 2018...showers to North and south of Newcastle. Is the case now.

The radar looks really good all over the region. Looks like one of those great days coming up where you only have to wait 15 minutes between each beefy shower.
Showers too scattered yet. Could also be a day where you don't get 1 decent hit
-
Avoided all showers so far. Slight dusting.

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
It happens so often that it can't be by chance. Must be a scientific reason
-
Keeping an eye on the aligned shower activity which seems to be heading for Newcastle...

Hit n miss looking at the SE thread some areas have done very well others nothing more than a dusting
Yeah I looked at the thread too. Radar says some areas have had snow all day so must be a decent amount in places
-
Anyone know snow depths in the SE?

This is now similar to the start of the 1991 easterly...exactly 30 years back.
Light / moderate graupel lasting a full day before convection picked up and streamers started.... Most of the East got a foot of snow or more. Longframlington got 46cm from 7th-9th feb.

To be fair Nick , you are right, the BBC forecast was spot on for last night and this morning , let's hope that trend continues as they have heavy snow for us from 11pm tonight to 12 noon tomorrow with snow in all the other timeslots.
They might be right so far.... but these set ups are notoriously difficult to predict snowfall. Especially from convective showers. Thats why radar/lamppost is the way to go

Sat. picture shows the better convection zone approaching slowly from the NE.
Full on streamers in that zone. Taking a long time to move....
-
Snow level is not only dependent in height asl, but also distance from coast. The stronger the wind the greater distance inland the warning effect....this is why temps stabilised, despite cold air feed.....now-10 uppers heading in, which will eliminate marginally for everyone. And of course...produce convection....

Wierdly warmed up to 2 degrees in Hexham and rained for a while now back at 1.3 degrees and sleet. Not sure whats going on. Missing a lot of potential snow here.
It's due to the winds strength picking up... bringing warmth of the sea. Need to wait for the colder uppers later

Thought more snow would have been evident by now to be honest.
Still mostly rain here.
Temp now 2.1°c
-10 uppers not forecast till after midnight.... the wind is having a warming nearby the coast.
Was at wbay earlier...violent sea with huge waves

Been a while since I have been on here. Been busy.
A few comments to kick off with
- This is coinciding with the 30th anniversary start of the 1991 easterly. Happy birthday !!!
- I recall that spell started with a very dry flow from a massive scandi high. Snow started as very light for a day before any showers built up. This time its very different far more moisture from the start
- During the 2018 spell, along the 10mile (or more) coastal strip, most of the showers blew over quickly then developed inland where they gave prolonged spells of snow. This was not the case in 1991 and I hope its not going to be this time either
- Precipitation charts are showing streamers developing out in the N. Sea. Lets hope they do and you are under one!!!
ENJOY!!!!

Apart from a few more showers in the south of the region, thats it for a very short NE blast. Still waiting for one with a deeper cold source.
Looks like at least a week of Atlantic weather coming up.
Could the N.Sea snow machine get fired up again before winter is out........
