[Snow/wintry Precipitation Reports: 28th December]

Just back from my holidays at Nenthead, Cumbrian, in the North Pennines (1500 ft above sea leve), so a good few days of snow reports follow:

Tue 21st Dec: 3cm snow lying when we arrived. B)

Fri 24th Dec: snow flurries early evening, dusting of snow by midnight

Sat 25th Dec: 5cm covering of powder snow. Beautiful walk in the snow on Christmas Day , our road was so iced up the relatives couldn't get up it in their car and we had to carry their presents 300 yards up the hill. Make a great story for them back in London...

Sun 26th Dec: snow covering persists. Sledging with the kids. My 2-year old doesn't know what to make of it.

Mon 27th Dec: snow beginning to melt, all gone by nightfall.

Tue 28th Dec: fresh snow falling , dusting above 1800ft. Very icy 10 mile drive to Allendale, road like a skating rink as good old Northumberland council didn't grit it. Snow still falling as we set off back home to London.

Great holiday.

Abandon hope all you rush-hour commuters. Leave your cars in the streets, walk home, several of you will sadly get very ill as a result, because its snowmageddon out there.

Nearly an inch of snow now, in just 15 minutes.

Just spent a delightful day painting in Nenthead, Cumbria, (1500ft above sea level). It snowed on and off from around noon until I left at 3pm. By then around an inch on the ground, though none 4 miles north in Alston. It seems very patchy. None at all in the Tyne Valley or down on the coast between Sunderland and South Shields.
