How high up are you?

[0000]

snow photos in a bit.Roads treacherous heading towards higher routes an hour ago bur gritters and slight thaw have improved the situation.............slight snowfall now but 3ins+ lying

[mackerel sky]

I don't think Ponteland is that high up at all, about 60 metres. But I remember driving back from Edinburgh over the A68 years back - it was January and wet snow, 1993 I think, and there was lying snow most of the way up to and including Ponteland and the airport before heading onto the A69, but no further. Much of a Tyneside heat island/rural/inland thing probably rather than altitude.

I am at 100m asl and it has been snowingsteadily/heavily for much of the day now. Accumulations up to about 3" but still snowing hard. Anybody hazard a guess how much longer it can go on for in this part of the world??

[Rollo]

How high up are you?

Hi PP, 200ft asl ,I drove back from town at about 1-45 and it was only sleeting but once I was on the road to ponteland about level with the town moor the snow was lying-talk about a heat island effect.

Rain here first thing this morning which turned to heavy snow mid morning,leaving about a 3 inch covering by early afternoon.

Sleety rain here at the moment.

[shuggee]

Nothing more than sleet here today, wouldn't even call it very wet snow - not been any higher than 120m though. But in town I have it good authority it did nothing but rain.
