[dave79]

The showers are well packed in now, a bit of snow for everybody it looks like.

Maybe for you lot Paul, I aint holding out for much now lol

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Why oh why oh why did it have to rise up to -0.2C for about 10 minutes earlier? Why couldn't it just let me have another ice day?

Now back below freezing with snow.

Temperatures have been over 0°C for over 6 hrs here on the coast and there is a slow thaw (dripping from roofs essentially) but upper lower temps of -10 and below are on their way. Although temps have been up to 3.4°C but when a shower hit it was of either hail, graupel or snow. I should'nt worry over the short term as cold sometimes severe will be around for sometime yet...!!

[davyf]

well its mm per hour for rain, which converts directly to centimeters per hour for snow...

1mm of rain=1cm of snow

obviously they arent guna get 32 cm out of that shower because its intensity at that period is only guna last 5 minutes for the lucky few, but even in that time they could get 3cm.... pretty impressive for a 5 minute job!

That single fact right there makes me feel like I've learnt something today haha. Cheers!

The temperatures are dropping now, down by over a degree in an hour and a ½.. wish it would drop below freezing as this confounded dripping is driving me mad...!!..still 2.1°C but dew's are dropping nicely.... Looks like that mass will hit North Tyneside and parts of South Tyneside....

35 mins lol.still snowing here.

[Typhoon John]

No snow for a while here but a shower seems imminent. Then nothing until the main area sinks South so I think I'll call it a night and get up early tomorrow!

35 mins? I'm looking at the stuff that's still over the water. Are you talking about the stuff that's north of Newcastle?

I was thinking that would pass west of us.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Well I would love to wait up but I need to be up early tomorrow in preparation for my journey to Consett. Got to walk about a mile just to collect my car before I even start!

Could be fun and games for a lot of people in the morning.
