I still don't know what to think, the weather pro app I have on my iPhone which is basically metro group/ weather cast has been forecasting all snow here for Monday for the last few days and still is, I don't know what model they use.. Perhaps ECM if they are a European company. The met office if forecasting nothing but sleet for hebburn, but if I choose Newcastle it says heavy snow until at least 12. So my thoughts on that are does the met office computerised forecast system use a station closer to the coast for hebburn, because I would say it has a more similar climate to Newcastle, if not better than the centre. Tomorrow I'm back to Uni, and I'll expect heavy snow in the rush hour to it, so if the metros are still running and I get there I'll be in central Newcastle most of the day, which is normally a touch warmer due to urban heat island effect, if it turns to rain there it could still be snowing at home I've known it before where jarrow had lying snow last year and in Newcastle it was sleet. I'm inclined to think with Evap cooling snow may last until dinner time at home in hebburn, and then who knows after Evap cooling may loosen it's affect due to the warm sector whenever that arrives, and it could turn to sleet and rain, we'll just have to see!

I'm ready to come to terms with the fact i'm going to have heavy rain at some point on Monday, either sooner or later in the day to ruin my snow cover. Although if anyone has any last minute hope for me it would still be appreciated

Got very heavy in the last 5 minutes, shades of last night

Been snowing moderately-heavily for about half an hour here

Does anyone know what the A167 is like snow wise in Central Newcastle? The road towards the airport in particular through 'Cowgate', have to go pick my brother up soon.

At this point I have had double the amount of days of snow falling than the 2011/2012 Winter Shows had bad last year was haha

My cover still intact this morning, large chunk of snow slipped off my car bonnet suggesting temperatures above freezing, which they are. Radar doesn't look as exciting today but have seen some snow and heard a lot of hail

1.4C here, it's -famous netweather quote time...- 'balmy!', haha no dripping noises to be heard though

This is going to be me now, panicking for the next few days about my beautiful snow cover being destroyed by all things marginal and sleety, can we not just ban those words?

I thought it was rain I could hear lashing against the window but it is indeed hail lmao!! fewww

Up to 1.1C here, dewpoint -1C... I reckon about 4 inches of snow here, we got the trough later than most but still was substantial (again i'm terrible at judging depths so don't shoot me if i'm wrong)

Snow laying on the main road into hebburn! Cars leaving tracks!

Snowing heavily!

Just about has the coldest uppers hanging on I like!!

You must be wearing a snow magnet?! LOL Lucky! Back to moderate snowfall here now woo

Is this shields/ whitley bay type snow forecast to come any closer inland? I'm right on the edge and its so like ahhh come a little closer please!

Its been snowing sort of lightly-moderately with small flakes for ages here now, we need higher intensity!!

LMAO Trying to be compassionate!

Snowfall is becoming more constant here (Sorry nick)

We need our own met office up here, they never get our weather right, last minute alert like that what a joke... joke! LOL

AWAY from the immediate coastline? They're getting the most! Useless alert!

You're just clipping the really good stuff on the coast atm we had a light shower about 10 mins ago and nothing since!

And -8 uppers just hanging on mmmm!!

Nooooo i don't want to retreat to the lamp post daylight come back!!

This radar is working! http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=radar;sess=
