Rinse and repeat of yesterday - more hail showers. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't turn more wintry overnight, though it's better than just having cold rain.

Yup, looks like our good old friend the irish sea has helped things water down a bit meaning no proper snowy precipitation.

But ah well there's always next time, whenever that may be.

Heavy snow showers here, some have been hail showers. There was even Thunder-snow last night, which is most exciting because it is rare here (last time was February 2008), and now we have 2cm snow and counting.

welcome to the forum, could you put your location in your profile please mate

I has thunder snow here last night, the sky went blue it was awesome :)

Temp has fallen off here slightly under clear skies, 1.9c and the wind has also eased off.

Still getting heavy hail every 10-20 minutes. Temperature is down to 3.9C, and mum informs me it completely covered the streets at one point. :)

A few showers have made it over to this side of the country but all of them have been rain here. We're still waiting for the first air frost of the season. Last night's min was 2.5C, the lowest so far this Autumn/Winter is 2.2C.

Currently 3.4C with a dewpoint of 1.7C.

Spray from the sea being sucked up into the sky, and freezing upon impact to the ground, causing freezing rain.

Joke. Tuesday afternoon for you. Marginal at best though.

Backtrack, we're having another really heavy hail shower again here at the moment. The sky is really black but we can see the edge of it with the sun behind. It's heading your way I reckon.

Last night :p

Maybe Thursday night if back edge snow follows the rain. It looks like high ground will get a pasting on Thursday night, so if nothing falls at low levels it might be worth visiting Alston or somewhere at the weekend.

probably to get a flight out of the UK to Canada.....

Seriously though, the hilly western parts of the region have done OK (weardale, teesdale and Consett of course), and the lack of influence from the sea (lower DPs) means it is sticking even in bright sunshine so from my IMBY view, we have done OK.

It being the north-east, look for the least likely set-up, then it will snow.....that aside, think Weds am, early on....

Don't think we have one! Today has been a write off and tomorrow looks worse... and Friday looks like a possible repeat of today, but with probably better synoptics for the West, with slightly colder upper air... We would need some kind of trough on Friday/ Saturday

Bus / train?

Incidentally the showers are moving in the right direction again this evening, but I doubt they'll make it over the Pennines.

Whereabouts in Co.Durham are you mate?

Indeed the north pennine area, and the wear valley have done rather well as expected. No lying snow here, which is expectable... Friday brings very cold uppers and I sense the North York Moors will do very well... Thursday's cold front looks rather potent and should deliver high ground snow as Alza points out.

Edge of Consett, and I get the bonus of a clear view up to Waskerley pretty much which means I can see lots of snow without having to get my car stuck....

About 800' has been the snow line, about that depths increase quite quickly. I haven't been on the moor today but the browns are nearly all white, which given that the heather is about 6-12" deep is a good indicator!

Cant help feeling Friday will be downgraded, but if not the cold front could give some fun and games to the higher areas again. Sorry if it sounds negative, but I don't hold great expectations for the lower altitude locations, largely because I think the cold front will deliver most of it's ppn before the cold air really digs in, white hills and green valleys.

Yes it's a large shower, I caught the really heavy side of it.

Temperature down to 2.8C, everywhere white again :D

Max today was 5.2C :)
