Far North of England Regional Discussion - January 21st 2013, 06z onwards

[Coast]

A brand new thread for your regional weather discussion!

[Snowmaggedon]

Jesus Christ, those in the Yorkshire thread are reporting 15cm of fresh snow, that is not fair.

[Cloud 10]

The radar has intensified in the last hour,epic event for high ground today.

[tynevalleysnow]

Blizzard a word often over used especially in the south. No other word to describe conditions here now.

[Emma Jayne Agar]

Now turning more sleety, but quite a high snow/rain mix.

Still some snow lying from Fridays event so all I can do is hope and watch it turns more and more to snow.

[recklessabandon]

Canny snowy. That's the science bit. So the snow may last until the early hours of tomorrow now, extended again.

[Dandy]

Snow falling well here, quite impressed really tbh. Not mega depths, but 3-4 cm on top of stuff that never went away.

5cm on my patio table :-)

[recklessabandon]

-0.4/-0.5 at Medomsley weather station

[gordonm]

Just north east of morpeth (ulgham) here, 4 miles in shore

Wet sleet very windy we had 10cm on ground from fri but now almost gone!!

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

Those that left for work could have a problem later with snow and temp dropping. Also snow looks to be intensifying. Deep and drifting in lower Consett. God knows what it's like in Consett itself!!

People not in the North East tell lies.

A dump like always lol.

Hi all. Long time lurker, sixth time poster, from Consett.

I can report that the snow here is now "Beagle deep" (he's a long legged Beagle, too!), with no apparent end in sight.

[recklessabandon]

Is anyone tracking the temperatures up here in Consett area? Just wondering what the trend is now, when I was looking at the models last night the 'marginality' seemed to be at its greatest around 9am (now)

[Rollo]

No accumulations here either,temperature is 0.1c but there is still some dripping, still snowing but its biggish flakes but not many of them, heyho and I was hoping for a 47' style blizzard.

[paul tall]

Just got back from the school run and I've already had enough of over cautious drivers. There's a cm of slush on the main roads. It's not armageddon.

[Rollo]

As I wrote the snow seems to be intensifying.

[jennyifer]

Very wet snow in darlington not much sticking i don't think.

Were is gavin to keep us updated about this area lol? Do you know how much more we might get and for how long cold

[buff]

The sleet has turned to heavy wet snow in Morpeth.

[multi cellular thunderstorm]

Maybe it's a good thing that I don't work in Consett any more, but I certainly would have loved the challenge of trying to get there, and back again! There is something about driving in severe weather that makes me feel so alive.

I will be following this thread today with interest, not a lot to do at work!

[Lake District Blizzard]

8cm deep snow from overnight snow here

[Mick Ormiston]

Blizzard conditions in consett.

[NorthEastSnow]

Nothing here in Middleborough...Yet again.

[Alex95]

Its accumulating quite well here now, still quite wet though.

[NickR]

Blizzard like conditions in DUrham walking the bairn to school... 5" lying in best spots, foot-high drifts, finally more is settling.. and school is still on: makes me proud to be in the NE.
