Far North of England Regional Discussion - January 19th 2013>

[Alex95]

Big flakes now and east facing chimneys are pasted.

[ballybabe21]

So temps of +1 to +4 being reported in Aycliffe - should I stop worrying about how ill get home from work in Darlo this evening?

[smogonthetyne]

Couple of fresh inches overnight, still snowing

[tynevalleysnow]

3-4 inches in last 12 hours. Dry now but radar and forecast looking good for nore.

[Alex95]

Snowing again after a light sleety spell.

[Kato]

Again nothing in Hartlepool overnight apart from a bit more rain lol. Hoping the a19 is as warm

[NickR]

Snow... as it was 3 hours ago... but where are my accumulations?

[Dandy]

Snowing well in Newton Aycliffe, about 3cm worth I think

[Isolated Frost]

0.7/-0.3 light snow here, small accumulations overnight.

[Alex95]

There's about a cm on the car, but any cleared concrete surfaces are wet.

[Hagler]

Lanchester at 5am on the main route from Consett to Durham

[Isolated Frost]

Snowing heavily, big flakes this time- visibility down.

About 2cm on the car- no concrete surfaces were cleared here so everything has an extra coat of white.

[NickR]

0.7/-0.3 light snow here, small accumulations overnight.

Any signs that conditions will start to allow it to accumulate later on IF?

[Snowmaggedon]

Only the slightest bit of covering, but it's coming down at a fair rate of knots at the moment. Anymore heavy precipitation left on the radar?

[Alex95]

It looks less marginal after 12:00, so I suppose we might get some accumulations later.

[Smoggieontour]

Nothing too heavy but should be set in for most of the day.

Coming down heavily at the mo, doing its best to settle.

[paul tall]

Laughable event. Saw the radar, thought "has to be epic, it's inevitable", and it's put maybe a further 2-3cm down.

Snowing quite well right now, no more snow than at about 3am.

[Andy_]

Morning! I do have a slight slushy accumulation on my windscreen but right now it's a mix of sleet and snow falling

[Alex95]

My prediction last night has sadly been right.

[Isolated Frost]

After near enough constant precip (fading away in the afternoon hrs)- this trough activity moves in from the SE overnight and we look in prime position for it.. the hi-res EC has got a grip of it in this morning's output. That would be some very heavy precip (sleet and snow) for those under it- and it seems to hover near, around and over us all evening. NMM has it instilled in its output as well.

Expect some heavy/moderate sleet and snow today, before slowing petering out in the afternoon- still with some heavy bursts. Treacherous conditions for many with strong winds, blowing snow and accumulating snow away from inner cities and the coastline. Take care.

[Alex95]

After reading all the reports from down south as well as looking at the charts I am going to call this as a sleet and snow mix at my location with no accumulation. We will know if I'm right in the morning!

[Hagler]

The talk of 20cm + is a distant memory

[SNOW-MAN2006]

I think everyone who had a guess at snow amounts got this one wrong... I think even the metoffice did. Highly dissapointed with far less snow cover than yesterday!! Massive thaw underway!!

[paul tall]

The talk of 20cm + is a distant memory

It's one of the biggest fails in recent memory. Honestly thought I'd be waking up to something significant, not a couple cms wet snow.

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

20cm was for higher ground. Stanley and Consett are really bad. See pic of Lanchester road for situation up here
