Snow/Wintry Precipitation Reports: 31st December 2003

[Darren Bown]

Its snowing here now, after 1/2 hour of heavy sleet. Finally!! If it sticks I'll try and get sum pics.

[paul tall]

Its BLIZZARDS!!!

Been snowing for half an hour, temperature 0.4c.

Where can I upload my photos to?

[Thundery wintry showers]

Tyneside update: now snowing, with near-blizzard conditions.

Not currently settling, although it's trying, the ground is kind of slushy, as the snow is only partially melting as it hits the ground.

If the temperature stays the same or rises from now, this will be my lot; however, if it falls by another 0.5C, the snow will settle.

I will update in a little while; in the meantime, there must surely be snow cover over Northumberland and Durham if it's close to that here.

Hey it's just started here - yipee!

If Paul Tall is right then we could also be having blizzards soon

[Guest Phil_Uk]

Blizzards here now. The rain has passed to the midlands now. Dont worry! If it starts raining, itll snow not after long. I think most of the band is of wintry nature!!!

[Darren Bown]

For the guy in Newcastle, when it started snowing it was 1.0c, but the temperature rapidly dropped to 0.4c, and has levelled at that. Big fluffy flakes, an inch has settled in less than an hour.

[sparkle]

[Guest Phil_Uk]

I'm trying to be optimistic here, Paul, but it's lashing down here with rain.

Fingers crossed then, Daz. Never lit fireworks on New Years morning in falling snow.

Finally! Sleety rain just started in liverpool! Very light though. Hope it turns to snow.

[Snowpie]

Nope, just nearly stopped. Really light, almost non-existant snow has just started to fall!! GET HEAVIER!!!!

[Darren Bown]

Blizzard, snow flakes the size of 50 pence pieces!!!

[Snowpie]

??? Why do you get blizzards while i get small flakes??? Your only a few miles away!!

[Guest Phil_Uk]

Was just sitting here thinking actually, I remember a situation similar to this back in December 1991. Started off as heavy rain, then turned to very heavy snow overnight, left almost a foot of the stuff on the ground as the main concentration was deposited over the Midlands, East Wales and East Anglia.

I don't mind a repeat performance of that.
