  1. We are right in the firing line for the next bunch. Could put a CM down this. 15 mins
  2. Graupel here. Intensity 3/10. Everything going white
  3. According to the latest GFS run yes. Midnight Vs 3am.....
  4. Certainly not for the next couple of hours. But you did get the first one? After that who knows. The wind is set to slowly change direction so they could turn up anywhere
  5. Well its -1.9C here. A band of showers heading directly towards me. Marginal does not even come to mind How much will there be does. Just the way it should be
  6. I think everyone will get some from this. But as always there will be favoured spots that get a streamer......
  7. Does seem to be intensifying. I notice that some showers intensify more when they hit land and others not.. That one thats over Ashington has intensified
  8. Temp will always rise when the wind comes off the sea (when the land is colder than the sea). The coast gets more effected and when the more the wind picks up the more its modified by the sea. Thats why sometimes in a moderate easterly in can be 3c and rain on the coast yet at the likes of Consett they can be in blizzard conditions
  9. Could this be the first showers for the Tyneside area developing?
  10. The fact there is something to report on is a bonus at this stage. There are a lot of unhappy snow watchers from the South of England who will not be happy at all as the snow line is further south than predicted.
  11. The anticipation. Only the radar can be our guide....
  12. Its -3. No chance of sleet, even on the coast. (another reason to prefer showers in a slack flow)
  13. There was a heavy snow shower in our area at about 11am. Lasted about 40 mins. Put a cm down
  14. Tomorrow. I was not expecting any shower activity until after midnight nor the MetO.
  15. I did not say it would be near. i said remind. And what will remind is snow showers coming in off a slack NE flow that does not get moderated too much by the N.Sea. I was never thinking it was going to be a 2010 event. That was a once in a life time one. Anyway. All eyes to the radar. Especially when the flow turns NE as thats when streamers can form.
  16. I am not talking about tonight. At the peak - possibly tomorrow night
  17. Do not underestimate the N.Sea snow machine. I have been surprised by it many times over the years. The showers always start earlier, are more intense and last longer than forecast in this type of flow. What we got in 2010 was very special and never initially forecast. To be like 2010 just means a good amount of heavy snow showers packing into the region for a period. It would certainly remind me of 2010 if that happens.
  18. Because thats the last time we had a slack NE flow with air cold enough to produce snow showers. Granted that flow lasted a long time, but even a short blast such as what is coming will hopefully give us a reminder of then. Watch out for streamers forming tomorrow. i much prefer it to the Beast last year when the showers get blown over quick
  19. Once you get a cold NEly the shower activity normally always greater than on initial forecasts and models. Hopefully this short blast will remind us of 2010
  20. This NEly next week could be spectacular. Much better for snow amounts down the East coast than the recent Beast, as that just blew them over the East coast quick and concentrated them inland.
  21. Still the warmest air temp day here was in April I believe. The positioning of the HP has been a terrible for the NE. When will it end? This is the HP we need in Winter, not summer. We need one sat to the SW. Just now its cloudy and cold in comparison to most of the UK.
