Not seen temperatures this warm for a while up here. 6 on Monday will feel tropical. Had snow on the ground here since before Christmas. Will it all melt before the next cold spell?

Minus 11.2 overnight and still minus 10.1 which makes it the coldest night for over 10 years. 

Was a balmy -12.9 overnight here and only -11.2 when I left for work! Coldest night here since 2013. Snow depth of 62cms.

you're rural up North. You can cope, right?

Definitely can cope as used to snow but can’t say the same for everyone

What contiguous an orange warning from the MetO? Had heavy snow here about 75% of the time from 8am till now, some local communities have been cut off and the roads have been terrible. Or do we need to be either down south or in a city to warrant such a warning?

Had heavy snow here in Hexham since before 1.

Heavy snow shower here now and going off the amount on cars that were clear last night, had about 2 inches overnight in Hexham. Heading home today where I’m expecting around 18-20 inches.

Sat24 showing showers forming out to sea which should hit Tyneside this afternoon!

High potential tonight.

Just finished work in Hexham and it’s snowed on and off all day with some heavy bursts so now about 3 inches of lovely soft snow here. Go s knows how much at home though!

GFS again giving some interest Saturday night 

Ties in with MetO forecast. Surely the GFS can’t be wrong at such a short timescale!

I’ve made the decision to stay with my parents in Hexham because I have a vital week at work next week so can’t afford to get stranded. When I left home this morning there was about 8 inches on the ground and it was snowing lightly.  

As for the extended forecast the METO seem confident the North Sea snow machine will keep on going for a while longer!

You will have to get some photos up, think you'll be buried up there

I will try. MetO app has us for constant heavy snow from Friday night to the ending of the forecast. If they are right on top of what’s here now it will be epic. On a side note it’s very ironic that while the snow conditions across the Pennines and Scotland are as good as ever the ski centres have to close for covid!

I think we could all see some memorable snowfall in the next week. ECM snowfall maps have 85 cms here for a weeks time and we currently have around 25cms before the main action gets going! Exciting times ahead for us lot!

Looking like quite a snowy week here. Starts late Monday and goes till Thursday if you believe the METO. As for January here 30/31 days delivered an air frost and snow lay 31/31 days. Coldest January here since 2010.

Been snowing here since 6ish and around 3 inches on the ground. Now snowing heavy about 8/10

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

I live at 1400 feet and met o app says heavy snow from 6pm-10am. Could be tricky drive to work tomorrow

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

MetO forecast for here is quite snowy for a few hours overnight tonight!

As the current cold spell seems to be ending today I thought I’d look back on how it was up here. Started Christmas Eve and lasted till today. Coldest temp was -11.2 last Friday night. Coldest day max was -3.2 on Thursday gone. Snow on the ground for 15 days(and counting) and max depth was 26cms as of last night. Can probably add a few cms during the night but rain now. Overall I’d say 6/10 up here in my part of Northumberland.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

It was -7 here when I left for work at 5:45 so probably got to around -8 around 7am. Roads were very tricky I’d say 4x4 only until you reach a main road then ok.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

been snowing in Hexham even low down for 2 hours and now a good 2 inches at river level. Heard near 10 inches at home so light be interesting drive later

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Speaking to people at work it seems that as little as 20-30 metres height difference has meant snow or rain in places. Hexham is snowy until you get closer to the river.

Just been out to animals and had about 8 inches here overnight and still snowing quite heavy 7/10
