Far North of England Regional - Cold Spell Discussion 13/01/13--->

[NL]

Pretty awful conditions out there now as the snow has stopped and very fine rain is now falling with the odd snowflake thrown in. I still think I'll wake to a covering in the morning as I'm sure those showers out in the North sea will deliver although it will be hit and miss affair.

[Summer Sun]

After a few hours of up and down temps its going only one way now and thats down

Currently 1.3°C

Dew point -2.3

[NickR]

This is the curl around that just keeps giving!

[Freezing-Point]

Still snowig here although not as heavy. intensity 4/10. If the wind picks up off the sea it needs to be accompanied by some colder air or the the temps are going to rise rapidly.

[DJovengloves]

Moderate to heavy snow in Spennymoor for the last 40 mins to add to what we got this morning.

Temp is 0.3°C

[Cloud 10]

Moderate snow here now and has covered over everything that wasn't already white.

[peterf]

[Summer Sun]

Still snowing here in Darlo not setting on the road yet but it is on Cars ect

[Andy_]

Still lightly snowing here... I'm going to delcare today a 'great success' -borat voice- As against all predictions i haven't seen a bit of sleet or rain. All snow today -(so far) LOL

Only disappointment was the thaw, but its all been replaced now!

[Freezing-Point]

Showers out in the N.Sea are now dissapating. I dont expect anything more this side of midnight. -0.1 here

[Alex95]

Shame about those showers, they looked so juicy lol

[tynevalleysnow]

Moderate now here at long last but not convinced its going to last long. But can't complain got a complete covering now about 4 inches deep. 1000 feet high is very handy when it comes to snow•

Ah very jealous mate my dad used to own a house at >200m asl near Stanley, and the winters up there were brilliant. Now I am on edge for every snowfall at my measly 45 m asl in Hebburn haha

[Isolated Frost]

Sleety rain type thing here, v light

[recklessabandon]

I was amazed at the patchiness when I was out and about today, lower Tyne valley (east of Hexham and under 100m) was all green this afternoon, as was curiously around Edmundbyers and Minesteracres. County Durham (including the usual suspects!) has faired far 'better' for snow even to comparitavley low levels. There was a very pronounced line just east of the A68 that divided the much whiter conditions to the east, it was almost as though the warm sector that passed through only reached the A68 but gave remarkable differences in the snow line.

Fresh dusting/thin covering in Consettshire but it has pretty much stopped now.

Snow, sleety rain type mixture here in Peterlee. Hoping for these showers to come over.

[NL]

Temps on the rise here 2.3ºC as the winds come off a relatively 'warm' North sea and dew point on the increase too at 1.2ºC.. Hoping skies clear for at least a frost before morning snow showers arrive in -8 to -10 850hpa air...

[paul tall]

Still snowing moderately here but the snow does seem to be the wet claggy stuff that starts thawing as soon as it stops.

For the last half hour or so the radar says no but the lamp post says yes

[Alex95]

More or less stopped here, a lovely coating of slush on everything :|

[Boro Snow]

Nice covering of snow here albeit its melting a bit under the trees now, but makes a change I got more snow than you as it seems you always have more snow than me!

I think the convective window will be around dawn personally, only takes one full on snow shower to get a decent covering again.

[Freezing-Point]

There has been no temp rise here as yet, although I do expect it once the wind picks up prior to the colder air digging in. -0.1c here.

[Continental Climate]

everything dying away on the radar now sadly, oh well round two of the cold snap hasnt been that bad plenty of falling snow has been seen and some laying snow rating: 5/10
