North East England Cold Spell Dicussion

[SNOW-MAN2006]

it looks like there are some showers heading our way, but they are no way the size or intensity of the ones further north. keep fingers crossed i suppose

There is some huge showers already forming for newcastle and sunderland, they are still over 100 miles out at sea so plenty more time for them to continue to grow before the big ones make landfall.

I really didn't expect anymore notable snowfall this weekend, but when now that I've run through the radar a few times it seems like the showers are taking a similar pattern to those over S Scotland, and that we could well end up with yet another snow event tonight. A good top up of 4-5cm is looking like a reasonable guess, but I wouldn't be surprised for some places to get about 3cm and others to get 7-10cm. Keep watching the radar folks!

i can see showers, but not huge. look like 10 minute jobbies to me - not that i'd complain with that

the showers 80 miles north on the borders are bigger and heavier by the looks of raintoday

[Alex95]

The 19:00 radar image shows showers way out in the North Sea heading for our area which are about as intense as those in S Scotland. As I said earlier, it will take a couple of hours before the showers get going properly, the problem is how long they will have before the pressure becomes to high and they die back.

Just had a short sharp graupel shower, just caught the southern edge of the shower. Still looks promising for more running in through tonight.

light snow flurry in byker now doesn't appear to be melting

[stormchaser1]

Currently +0.9c with the dew point reading -2.7c here in North Kenton

[Alex95]

Must've been snowing as there are a few flakes on the car

'Meto invent' radar is quite good if you don't have access to the Netweather one, you can clearly see reds appearing in the showers, like in SE Scotland.

i'm still not convinced that we will get many showers, but i really hope i am wrong. from what i've seen the showers have been weekening as they move towards land.

on the plus note, temp down to 0.3oC now

[Snowstorm1]

We had a snow shower at 7:10 for 5minuites and gave a dusting are many more coming?

I have to agree, even those heavier ones out into the North Sea looks hit and miss, if you get one, you might get some accumulations but i don't expect too see much of a top up here sadly.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Marginality should not be an issue, even at the coast- a wind off the sea and 0.6C here. All depends on where the showers do and don't hit.

[izi]

tws we just mean that the showers are fizzling out and not that big, so if you get one will be marginal, not if it would be snow/rain. I think we can defintely be safe to say it would be snow.

0.0oC here now ! Woo, no more dripping.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Not sure about that- to me, the heaviest showers seem to be transferring slowly south? Looking quite good for significant accumulations for some parts of our region overnight, though some areas will largely miss out as I don't think the showers will be as organised as they have been over SE Scotland.

The heavier ones are on a crash course to me!

[paul tall]

No doubt they will miss me and give more snow to those a few miles north of me (literally a few miles!) who have 10cm+ already and I'm sat here with 5cm.

they are moving in a south east direction, but having watched raintoday zoomed in, the ones which keep trying to make land fall around the newcastle area keep fizzling out.

edinburgh is getting a pasting though

[Snowstorm1]

Come on snow come to me

[PersianPaladin]

Chances are that many folks within 10-15 miles of the coast should see some thunder-snow once again this coming Tuesday (as a more vigorous upper-trough heads south-west).

[paul tall]

Alright PP, hows it going!

Can you believe how long the snow has lasted eh?

I've been thoroughly enjoying the snow outdoors of late. Hence why I haven't been posting much on here.

Its heaven.

[paul tall]

Possibly another 7-10 days of snow cover making possibly a month of unbroken snow cover....don't blame you because you'll be unlikely to see that again in your lifetime!
