Moderately heavy snow now. dont want any more

Quitter!! lol

[P-M]

Rain here on the coast...

[recklessabandon]

Yes. It might as well be rain.

I really hope GP is correct and we get a GH in around 10 days time. Little chance of rain here from those as the sea warming effect is not as prominent.

well thats dog s***t.

Not sure about the prognosis, models scream zonality into next week, not sure I am on board with that yet though....

[Kato]

Strange how its started laying in pool on gritted roads extremely quickly. Just a dusting but the chances of ice everywhere must be v high now

[Deep Snow please]

Just a little bit more then I'll be happy...honest

Move to the Artic if you aren't happy, you've already got like 4 foot.

The important question, will we get enough snow to close college down tomorrow. I'm highly doubting it, but it's worth holding on to the hope.

[Snowmaggedon]

Very very light snow for the past hour or so, need it to intensify soon!

[Freezing-Point]

The North Sea is the Poison Chalice for snow in my area. One things for sure you need a much colder feed to get snow from a strong easterly, and I think its a long time ago that that happened. Feb 1991 is the one I remember, but there may be more recent less memorable ones.

[Isolated Frost]

All snow for once here! The snow has dragged the dew point down from 0.6c to -0.4c.

[tynevalleysnow]

Cabin fever is setting in. Please no more snow

[NickR]

So at what point will the flow get a bit less S'ly?

here comes the cold air.

Back end of the streamer has just thickened considerably on the latest radar update (out to the east of Lincoln)

send it to scotland

[Deep Snow please]

send it to scotland

I take it being stranded isn't your cup of tea then? How about we compromise on it stalling over the Washington - Sunderland area and avoiding Durham?

[peterf]

it's all headed north to Scotland.

[recklessabandon]

send it to scotland

Whole streamer is expanding with some much brighter echoes mixed in, and the temps have dropped by around 1C in the last 30 mins so the snow volume will be far greater I would assume too....maybe it aint all over....

ok deal

[Continental Climate]

Snowing in Darlo now the road is white once more

WAHOOOOO

[NickR]

MY hope is placed in the streamer that's just below the one currently giving rain to Sunderland - might just come across to Durham.

[Isolated Frost]

EC prediction is for the main pulses to be quite north of the tyne- more Morpeth end (see my attached EC shots), but all of the region seeing some mod-heavy stuff.
