North East England Cold Spell Dicussion

[paul tall]

Snowing now. The band seems to be about twice as thick as the bit that passed over Newcastle and it seems to be intensifying. Hopefully we'll get more than the 20-30 minutes that Tyne and Wear had.

[peterf]

i might get the faintest waft of the northern tip lol.

[Freezing-Point]

Stopped here and rapidly dropped for -3.2 back to -5.1.

GFS tonight has upgraded our snow chances in the coming days by positioning the high further north.

[Cloud 10]

A few bigger flakes coming down now.

Yeah but my dad's bigger than your dad

[izi]

looks much fatter further south

[Typhoon John]

I'd say moderate intensity now. It's a shame that heavier green blob looks like escaping just to my South. Newton Aycliffe should get it though.

[gazzac69]

getting irritated now every time I look out the back door, water (Ihope) is dripping in a very small area onto the snow even though its obviously well below freezing hope its not the teenage son peeing oot the bedroom window probably a central heating malfunction or something

Aye your Dad might be bigger but my Dad can have your Dad.

Nice moderate snow here now.

In Sunderland the temperature went down to -5.8 oC and whilst it has been snowing it rose to -3.8oc....very fine yet heavy Graupel / hail snow coming down, which will just freeze lovely.

More snow showers will probably continue through the night.

Winter is far from done yet

Payback for the last few days where the green blob has skirted just to my north. This one is on a collision course, watch and laugh as it dissipates before striking DL5.

[paul tall]

Crap, fine snow falling - not the stuff of big green blobs.

Nice heavy stuff falling, at below -4. Looks to be plenty of mileage in this one.

[gazzac69]

snow stopped in byker, looks like one more small shower on radar to come , left a cm or 2 outside( better than nowt) furthur down south looks better on the radar, nowt else showing on radars for Newcastle for a canny while now.

by the way who's the daddy, i,m the daddy

Moderate snow again here off that tail-ender shower cloud, few out at sea very hit & miss affair.

[Cloud 10]

I'm in the hypnotic zone now,moderate snow falling straight down with zero wind.

[Typhoon John]

It's stopping now as we have only caught the base of the pan handle. A bit disappointing but better than nothing.

How long's it been over Catchgate? The flakes here are just starting to get bigger and I'm hoping we get similar to you.

Tomorrow evening is looking promising, and also there was a mention of showers pepping up tomorrow evening on the local news;

Weekend not looking dreadful with percipitation around albeit not very heavy but its still here, meaning snow should nver be too far away!

A few more CM's to come for most i feel ...

Just a shame there isnt the big foot here, if we where 20 miles north i feel Sunderland would be buried, but we have a measly 6-8cm here, nothing special...

And i hear TWS is preeching how next week things are guna start to thaw at the coast, ooo my days! Someone just shoot me now, i havent endured a month of freezing cold to hear this is all im likley to get ! !LOL! Rant over! haha

Ahwell, i might just have to re-locate.... 10 miles inland, 400+m up, and have a snow magnet on my roof!

No more snow showers for the next 4 or 5 hours i feel judging by the radar, but who knows, anything can happen... bar a blizzard depositing my foot of snow

Started again here at -4.7c. At least the snow is easy to clean off the car in the morning as its so dry. My kitchen broom is superb!

About 15-20 minutes,not heavy so far.

[davyf]

We've finally got that hypnotic stuff. Lush.

[Geordiesnow]

Interesting to note that the showery activity has pepped up slightly in the North Sea around NE Scotland, sign that the colder uppers perhaps making an impact.

Friday and even Saturday looks interesting, we shall see though as the BBC forecasts has been up and down.

Snow shower about to hit here now by the looks of it.

[gazzac69]

not many but big flakes of snow falling in byker

quite heavy now obviously the 10 min or so time lapse on radar
