Very heavy snow here in Newton Aycliffe.

Just had thundersnow too

Fantastic.  9/10 intensity for that one.  Can only happen when the wind slackens off

Bit of a monster shower looks to be 45 mins or so away.   Not sure if its on course for me or maybe a bit north

Anyone of these 3/4 could come through our way

I agree with that line. Right now anyway.  I have my eye on the largest one out to see at start of your line.  Thats on my path

When are the showers due to last until?

 

Until this evening.   You must have been hit overnight?

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Bbc going for showers all day, fading this evening....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Hopefully broke because it can't compute so much heavy snow coming into the NE 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

-2 with heavy snow..

 Can't complain.   Seems like a glitch in the radar at 5.50

The showers look to be intensifying upon making landfall now instead of fizzling.

All positive changes.  Looks like the region could do well from this... better late than never!

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Mate honestly look out at the North Sea man.  It's aliiiiiiiiiive 

It has broken up a bit, but sill the most impressive band of showers to hit N/S Tyneside so far.   Hammering down here

Let's be honest - while some many have a nice line headed for them, any objective look at that N Sea can only conclude that as it stands, it is really poor. Think back to E'lies and NE'lies where it was packed and it was very hard to avoid a good dumping. Or Scotland today. Hope it improves during the night, but, personal luck aside, that is not a good radar return.

Pretty sure you will get hit by lower part of this streamer....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Started here already.  This could last quite a while....

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This one is right in the middle of the snowless corridor.... can it be?

Have just had a moderate snow/ graupel shower here.  Radar is looking good behind! I'm hoping a mini streamer will set up but then probably not.  Lol

If that things peters out.  I am going straight to bed...saying that the previous one to the North did, so could be beddie byes

Managing to catch a shower at the moment, with a bit of luck I'll be well placed for this line of showers, close call.

Which ways it going to go.... you've had too many showers that nearly hit me!!!

Top of newcastle looks to be going to get a decent streamer come in

Yes whoever gets in that direct line could get a couple of inches.   Looking close for me.  Very painful if it just misses !!!

It is but they disintegrate as they hit land in many areas. Its madness. 

Up in Scotland it seems to bet he opposite.  Not much out at sea and loads constantly inland!

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

This is looking so much better than last night.   Its difficult to say the exact track...

Radar looks crap for the south of the region now. Nothing for a couple of hours at least. Tonight could be another bust me thinks 

Sending the snowless corridor down your way

Are they the wrong way around? They look further away to me on the 17.20 one lol

Well spotted. I spotted it about a minute after the post and then changed the times!!!!

There is a big cluster of showers in the north of the region that have really intensified over the last few hours, I think they are slowly drifting slowly south

I think you are right.  Look the two charts.  2 hours apart.  you can see significant southern movement.  If that continues, should be about 3 hours ETA....but will it

 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

XC Weather wind forecast....  Direction change at first red arrow, but snow now arriving till the earlier hours... second hour.

I am going with this forecast as its aligned with the meto

 

So dont stay up late!!!
