The North Of England Regional Discussion

[Typhoon John]

Radar shows Durham back to rain but considering the reports, and knowing what the net weather radar is like versus reality, I expect it is still snowing! There'll definitely be a cover come the morning.

[JP1972]

Hello rain.

Good while it lasted....

[Thundery wintry showers]

South Shields has shot back up to 2.8C with a NNE wind. Meanwhile another snow shower is approaching Sandhutton, though it looks as if this one will only be light. After that, it's probably for the best if my location dodges subsequent showers as I feel that the warmer pool of air may be approaching, hence the report of rain in Newcastle.

[JP1972]

Oh Lordy, a soggy mess.

Anyway, enough about the wife ...]

Here's to winter 2012/2013

[Isolated Frost]

My dew point is still at -1.0c mind so... cloudy and dry here now.

[Thundery wintry showers]

3.6 at South Shields now and rising rapidly. Meanwhile, as expected, a light snow flurry at Sandhutton, with a light dusting of snow still on the grass, cars and rooftops, though not on concrete surfaces.

Same here in Heaton.

Snow been falling in Sheffield. Great to see it so early. Theres a dusting on the cars already but im sure it was just a fleeting shower so far inland. Not sure if its still falling and i cant check caz the Mrs wont be hapi if i look yet again.

Sheffield 150 asl.

[Terminal Moraine]

A light snow flurry here shortly after 1.0 am, otherwise a dry and mainly clear night with a fresh N breeze.

There was a couple of inches or so lying at midnight but it got rather milder with steady thaw by 5pm, however wind has backed to NNW now and temperature has dropped slightly again.

The hills are still very white but green is showing through lower down.

[Teesdale]

Heaviest snow shrs about 5/10 miles to my East overnight. Copley reporting 11cm snow lying. More snow in Barnard Castle than here.

Here just 1/2cm powdery snow but with strong wind it just blown about.

Overninght low -1.1C, penetrating frost with F6 wind gusting 35mph.

No snow in Cumbria apart from the odd light shr in the evening.

[PMPhotography]

went to bed last night after a decent snow shower which gave a slight covering here in Scarborough. Got woken loads through the night by some quite hefty hail / sleet showers with some impressive wind gusts in the heavier showers.

Thought there might be a good covering but seems it warmed up during the night and melted it all!

Quite impressive still for October.

[Liam J]

Crystal clear start to the morning, currently -1.1c after a dip to -1.6c overnight....... Brrrrrr

[P-M]

Moderate snow here in Washington right now. Also a lot thicker flakes in this shower than last night.

To have a gentle breeze combined with an air frost in October is fairly unusual.

[Cloud 10]

Surprised at the latest radar,thought all the showers would be out in the North Sea

by this time but apparently not!

Front garden looking very festive for October.

Heavy now showers this morning, but it is rather wet, and the existing snow is rather slushy; the grass has 2cm, but the road is just wet.

This is far more than I expected in October!

Very nice.

A slight frost here this morning, and rather icy after the earlier showers.

[Alex95]

The sun has just came out - the rooftops look lovely

[P-M]

Yup heavy/moderate snow still falling here too

[Alex95]

The radar still looks good for a couple more hours, so we could see one or two more showers. I still can't believe it's the 27th October!

[sunny scunny]

Ive just been out and noticed snow on some of the car roofs, which is better than nothing.

[Alex95]

Huge shower rolling in now!

[Andy_]

Patchy covering on grass and roofs, cars. Looks wet on pavements/roads. Remembering my location and altitude ha, I also keep hearing a drip drip! Temp 4C Dewpoint isn't showing

Just rain/sleet falling this morning

It's starting to snow again, but the lying snow is melting fast.

Edit - its sleeting now
