Wasn’t to be tonight, I do feel though as much as the mod Thread is all about no snow… for the south! I think we will see some from the North Sea given the right wind direction. 
 

no question though it’s going to be cold. 

Was pretty much the worst time of day for it to happen!

-6 line just moving through now

Maybe explains the temp drop here, combined with a wind changes.  Good chance this last shower activity will lead to a white morning here...

Well the first chance seems like a major flop.

The intensity never really got going and it was mixed in with a warm sector.  Hopefully we will have better luck in the next 10 days as all kinds of scenarios are possible....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Temp falling... now 1.1c.  Dew point 0.25.... still sleet.

 

Looks like snow conditions will occur when the shower activity passes 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Well thats the big blob gone.

I wonder if the warm sector will pass and the rest will be snow later.   Temp needs to drop another degree 

 

One things for sure... its going to be an ice rink in the morning.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Temp dropping.  Now wet snow.  Temp 1.5 dew point 0.6

Alot thicker now & no issues with settling

Yeah you always get snow in these situations.  What we need is a true northerly where the showers hug 10 mile along the coast in streamers 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Moderate sleet here.  Temp 2c dew point 1c

The poisoned chalice... precipitation comes, with a warm sector to ensure its rain 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

The first band has passed over me with nothing to show but wet ground.  Hope the second wave is better as that was pathetic.

 

Definitely warming from the sea as temp is up to 2,3c here

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Perfectly in the gap here 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Droplet size decreased and its turned sleety

a few snow flakes falling here now

Same here.  Just starting.  Difficult to say how long it will last of how heavy it will be as its shifting formation on the approach.  Moderate now.  Intensity 4/10

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Yes looking good.  Seems to be tracking in perfectly....but that can change

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Some light showers developing ahead for the front.  Big flakes here.  A good sign.  Looks to be coming later than forecast....

 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Such little activity on here???

 

Forecasts are showing heavy snow showers for tonight.  Does anyone have any detail on this?

 

Shower activity has moved way out into the N.Sea and according to wind maps I cant see the direction changing from the current NW to N to bring the showers in...

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

In perfect line for this shower.  Moderately heavy snow falling.  8/10 intensity

Snow has started here again,and wind has increased.

Looking at the radar that does not surprise me!

Occluded font heading in now which signals the change in wind direction and a draw of colder air behind.....  what's going to happen???

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

It's an evolving situation.  We had the cold, snow and strong winds earlier.   As the LP sinks south east We will get a compression of air flow caused by a strong jet stream to the NW.  Its going to drag in colder air...  not sure what will happen but there is the potential for an epic event...

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Temp gone up as modified buy the sea as wind moves toward NNE.   Rain here now.

 

But...behind the occluded front is colder air...I expect snow at all areas later.

Winds....  the occluded front heralds the wind....  Down the E cost could see some winds not seen for 15 years or more.  

 

Personally I would love to witness the immense waves bashing the coast..  might set out early in the morning....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Snow is getting heavier and beginning to cover surfaces....260ft.asl 7 miles from coast.

 

Still think it will warm up as the sea is relatively worm and the strong winds will be modified 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Heavy wet snow here.  Don't know temp as the outdoor sensor battery is out.

If this stayed as snow it would be an epic blizzard....however I expect it to warm up when the wind come in off the sea.  Question is will the colder uppers due later be enough for snow down the east coast???

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This was almost us....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Aberdeen getting pasted...again

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Wait!  The bottom edge is developing fast and looks like it might make land around Tyneside and save some slit wrists
