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

The rain has stopped now turning back to tiny snow flakes, its quite frustrating because i can see the clouds over the north sea blowing straight up the coast rather than heading straight towards us lol

[Isolated Frost]

Just had a moderate snow shr.

[Alex95]

Snow stopped in Keswick, no more than a dusting in the end. (Although that's a dusting more than I expected when I left Newcastle)

[gordonm]

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

Cramlington

There was !! I was driving on a1 past morpeth and saw it!!

A1 is completly covered and I guess there is over 4 inches around morpeth. It's stopped now though but we had a good few hours of intense snow.

[snowmaddave]

Its proper lashing down now, bloody rain, plenty of snow flakes in the mix so its either turning one way or the other, wind isn't half starting to pick up, i also think the wind direction is changing now looking at the street lights anyway.

[Isolated Frost]

Heavy snow shower again here, windy this time as well.

Where exactly is your "Teesside"?

[Mick Ormiston]

Still nice and snowy in costa del consett.

[Alex95]

Snowmaddave, could it be hail? Should still be snow until midnight tomorrow.

[Snowstorm1]

Few flakes in air here and 0.7c and -1c however i heard the dreaded drip noise

[Rollo]

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.

Indeed looking at my thermometer half an hour after the snow stopped and for the first time today the Temperatue which had been -1c all day is above freezing at 0.1c.

[snowmaddave]

CC, me to but i can 100% confirm its sleet and rain that was coming down, its slowly turning back to very light snow blowing about in the wind.

Did anyone spot any lightning, seems to be a blue x somewhere Northwest of Newcastle - http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=lightning;sess=

[Snowmaggedon]

And it's started snowing again in Middlesbrough, light ATM but it should intensify around 12 if the met office forecast is to believed. Aldo the sky looks very pink so something must be brewing

[snowmaddave]

Normanby im at, in the last two hours we have gone from, snow to sleet then rain back to sleet and now full on heavy snow as i speak, deffo was not hail Alza. I have noticed other locations that have had sleet tonight also.

Full on snow at the minute.

[Freezing-Point]

possible heavy shower developing and heading towards n.tyneside in about 45 mins.....check the radar.....

[Geordiesnow]

Actually quite interesting looking at the convective cloud and the high frontal cloud together although its good too see the frontal cloud is actually quite thin so at least this did not prove to be a spoiler tonight.

There are some showers in the North Sea, not dead realiable or look deadly heavy but I would not mind one or two more snow showers to try and keep a respectable snow cover by morning.
