Mid March still looks full of potential. I wouldn't mind one last significant snow event as this could well be my last winter in the North East, for a few years at least.

March looks full of potential to me for some more northerly or easterly blasts! Obviously if we do get any snow it is much more likely that we would see a quicker thaw if than it would be during mid winter, but March can still bring some significant snow to the North East especially.

Nice sunny day today, still decidedly chilly though.

Still a good inch to an inch and a half lying here, however there was nothing at the 'Welcome to Newcastle' sign on the A69!

Still looks snowy on some of the webcams, just needs to last a couple more hours for me to see it!

Another lovely day in Keswick, hoping to come home to a covering of snow this afternoon!

Snow starting in Keswick, a bit heavier this time.

More light snow showers in Keswick the afternoon - Spring feels a very long way away today!

Had a few flurries in Keswick like yesterday, great to see the NE getting hammered again!

Tomorrow should be quite snowy in the North East, hopefully something will make it over to the Lakes.

Had a flurry of snow in Keswick this morning, otherwise its bright and cold.

Grey here with a few snow grains - what a change to the last few days!

Another long day out for me, was pretty cold down near Coventry today, but at least it was quite sunny again. Back in Newcastle now, off to the Lake District tomorrow!

Gorgeous mild day in leeds today, but got back to drizzly fog in Newcastle this evening.

Reached 8C here, quite pleasant in the sun.

The latest 12z ECM isn't looking as rosy as the 00z I'm afraid, although the potential for the high to retrogress to Greenland is still there.

That's just the SE bias in the model thread. The UK's best shot at one more significant cold spell would be a Greenland High, as shown by the ECM lately, and that usually favours the North and East, as it did in January and November 2010. If the GFS came off however the SE would be favoured for deep cold, but they wouldn't be getting much snow. Lets keep our fingers crossed that the ECM is right, and the GFS is showing hints that it is trying to bring in a Greenland High at times during the latter stages of the run.

90% cover here, didn't really expect it to survive all that rain.

1C here with heavy rain, still plenty of lying snow and all the trees are covered in icicles.

Everything is covered in a layer of ice here after the freezing rain, I hope it all melts by the morning or the snow could be a right pain in the behind!

Temperature up to +0.5 C now, this lot will melt fairly rapidly with the heavy rain!

Icy sleet, no thawing yet.

Light sleety stuff now, final depth of only 2cm.

Easing off here. I have a feeling the next band will arrive as rain in an hour, judging by the reports in the NW thread.

Really heavy here, sounds like sand blowing against the window.
