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

[Andy_]

We need our own met office up here, they never get our weather right, last minute alert like that what a joke... joke! LOL

[Snowmaggedon]

Moderate snow in Middlesbrough once again and its giving a decent covering

[NickR]

I know I'm a miserable git, but... seriously, I've got reason today! The current radar is just about THE most annoying, frustrating situation POSSIBLE for someone in Durham. I just have this feeling that when it does veer Ely we'll be left with sweet FA.

Basically, we're this close to 15cms... but will end up with nothing... just GALLING.

So what to do tonight?

Torture myself by watching on fleeting glimpses of snow

or listen to the boro game

or do both and lose the will to live by half time!

Back on again moderate snow

[NL]

just looked at the Shields webcams.if thats classed as worrying it's aswell you live at sea level.

Honestly Peter that cam dosen't do it justice its getting really bad, just like the 70's..Ive took photos but for the life of me I cant find the cable to download it on here.

[smogonthetyne]

It was bad enough in High Heaton at times before I left, I can only imagine what it must be like at the coast under persistent snow!

[Kato]

Still nowt in Hartlepool. Shields has dissapeared up the coast though

[Continental Climate]

wow that radar is a massive kick in the teeth for anyone south of newcastle and its environs. I cant see the south of the region getting anything of note, oh well theres always tommorrow, or should that be jam tommorrow

North northumberland could get nov 2010 levels here, seriously they are gonna get buried

Seems to be some sort of streamer setting up firing snow into northumberlabnd

very heavy snow continuing here, not suprised the met has issued an amber warning for some of the region

[P-M]

I can confirm with NL that conditions are pretty bad - grainy images do not do this situation justice at all Peter.... There's plenty more to come!!!

Aye come Monday everyone away from the coastline will be in feet of snow whilst ours gets washed away with sleet/rain..haha

iv'e changed my opinion for you lot on the coast tonight and i wish you all an enjoyable evening.but what i can see would be of no concern to folk up in the hills.enjoy it none the less.

[P-M]

If u look at the previous pic of the same I posted u can see the difference in just half an hour...

[NickR]

This is the last time I EVER get excited when there is a S'ly element to an E'ly flow. I'd rather not know. This is torture.

Get a grip will you the roads are atrocious so unless you hill folk have no common sense then yes it would be of concern....Jesus some people honestly you live up a hill and think you can handle everything... We don't all have 4x4s and everything in one little village...still think your posts are funny though lol

Only a matter of time before Durham gets it, 7pm at the latest I reckon.

[Isolated Frost]

Newcastle/Morpeth/Ashington/North Shields/South Shields area is in for a very interesting next hour or two.

Interest starting to flow south into Gateshead/Sunderland locale afterwards.

I just can't see it. I can't see the flow shifting enough.. and when it does we'll have missed out on a huge event of about 4-6". Absolutely as fooked off as I could be.

[Isolated Frost]

Durham getting into the act in the next 3 hours for sure.

While we just sit and watch everyone else get plastered for another 5 hours. :S
