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

[Emma Jayne Agar]

If the met office radars are to be believed looks like here in seaton sluice we could have some more snow for a time to come, with the exception of a few breaks here and there.

The question is will it be snow or sleet.

Rain event on Monday on the 18z GFS. Still time for change as some of the other models are looking better, but don't be shocked if it happens.

I swear there was a flash in the sky followed by a rumble of thunder!

was talk of a warm up then the mother of all's mid Feb.time will tell.

[Snowmaggedon]

Any more snow for Teesside tonight? We've had a couple of inches this evening, looks awesome!

[damianslaw]

Good to read all the reports of fresh snow over the NE this evening - as expected convection has kicked in. Had the front moved further north and east then this convection wouldn't have occured - so in many respects the NE has been helped enormously by how the front simply fizzled in situ as it hit NW England.

I'm trying my hardest to remain upbeat this evening despite looking onto grey surfaces all around, we really have been very unlucky today - hoping we might see some snow on Monday perhaps. We did see a few cms last Sunday and early Monday so I can't complain - but this has now dissapeared away from the fields.

I remain optimistic for Monday.

[Darandio]

[peterf]

you blew the fuse box for that lol.

no chance of rain up here -1.8c and still bleaching down.

[Snowstorm1]

0.7c now but humidty is lowering so its counteracting with the dew point staying on right side of marginal at the moment

[Andy_]

This is going to be me now, panicking for the next few days about my beautiful snow cover being destroyed by all things marginal and sleety, can we not just ban those words?

[Boro Snow]

[Snowmaggedon]

0.7c now but humidty is lowering so its counteracting with the dew point staying on right side of marginal at the moment

-1C a short distance away from you in Middledbrough, lets hope it snows loads again tonight

[Darandio]

Wind has now substantially increased and coupled with heavy snow, visibility has reduced dramatically, I can hardly see the street opposite. Does this count as a blizzard?

[Geordiesnow]

Looking at the uppers, tomorrow could see a thaw somewhat, don't expect many showers but we do attract a little bit more colder air again by tomorrow night so things could become less marginal somewhat.

[Isolated Frost]

The uppers don't fall below -7c and wind decreases.
