Far North of England Regional Discussion - Cold and Snow 17/01/13 ->

[NL]

WHen are the winds due to veer more E'ly? soon?

As i said above the frontal snow is grinding to a halt and will start slipping south east then the Lp will start to pivot drawing the winds from the east bringing showers/prolonged snow further inland

[Summer Sun]

Down to 0.9°C now dew point is -6.6°C

Keeps turning cloudy but thats it

[tynevalleysnow]

My measurements here have been going between se and ese for about an hour now

[Snowstorm1]

Feel asleep for hour n half and still nothing..

[jennyifer]

We just did get a few flakes .I mean just very few. So disappointed right now but nothing we can do about the weather .

[NickR]

I'm downgrading my hopes. If there's any S'ly element, we just don't get the goods here in Durham. The NYM simply dry up all the ppn. Hate to say it, but we're in the worst place when there's a S'ly element. Galling when so much is being produced out there.

Those who haven't got any showers yet, you weren't supposed to so don't fret by tonight you'll be getting plenty,

Forecast for Darlington, 18:00 heavy snow.. can't complain?

Latest radio forecast says showers will merge and move inland later this afternoon and into tonight.

Everything on course for here just dies 50 miles short. What a waste! :S

[smogonthetyne]

Nothing so far in Nunthorpe, but what's this as I type? Yes, yes it is. Tiny tiny flakes.

Wowwee!!

[Boro Snow]

I suspect your thermometer isn't properly shielded.

Yep. It's galling. The layout of the land really couldn't be designed any worse from our pov.

[NickR]

Relax.....its coming!!

I know!

But seeing yet another 1-2cms worth skirt by and unload on Newcastle is sooooooo frustrating! :-S

The nym wont matter a jot when the wind vectors ese and the met reckon it will happen at 3.

[Summer Sun]

Its not mine its via the wunderground website

0.6°C now

The amount of people panic buying in our Sainsburys is ridiculous you'd think we were in for a tone of snow

Look at the radar folks,there is a large area of showers approacing from the s/e,all the way from the N Yorks coast upto Tyneside.

Just starting to hit here in South Shields, hope folk dont need to travel to far as this looks very disruptive.
