[Alex95]

[Continental Climate]

yeah i agree like i said the other day one went down my road for the first time ever, yeah the snow has melted leaving the snow we had before it started which is weird but i suppose the old snow will be colder having frozen overnight

really i thought the next cold spell would be around the 4-7th feb

More heavy snow! Not clearing the bloody street again I can't feel my arms!!

[recklessabandon]

Snowing steadily in Durham, sky very dark and roads covered

Yeah the bulk of the snow left now is from last week and earlier this week all the recent top up falls are melting fairly quickly

The snow still around is mainly because the sun (when its out) isn't getting on it where the sun does hit it its melting and turning it to slush and of course last week it was much colder so it froze over

The bulk of the remaining snow will be gone either during the weekend or early next week depending on when it turns milder or the rain arrives just depends on which comes first

Heavy rain in Boro! What a disaster

[Alex95]

Definitely getting sleety here.

The met office are going for mid month

However, colder weather and below average temperatures then probably come to dominate once more towards mid-month. In terms of rain and snowfall, southern parts in particular will probably start wetter than average, but trend to nearer normal by mid-month, while the north will probably see drier than average conditions for much of the period.

So that suggests drier and colder to me from mid February for us in the north

This whole cold spell has been for this area! Lets get DRY again and get a nice northerly that would actually do something here lol.

Sounds like low pressure to the south to me, could be quite a snowy pattern.

[Dandy]

Snowing heavy in aycliffe now.

[Isolated Frost]

Heavy snow for 2 hours straight now. Sleety in lower areas or near the coast, but very nice , my house further inland will probably have more accu

[Alex95]

Looks like it'll be getting rather soggy soon, a slow thaw seems to have set in now and the snow which fell earlier is already melting!

[tynevalleysnow]

V heavy snow here last hour or so

[Dom W]

Travelled from Easington, sky was very dark, dare I say it rather thundery looking, I was half expecting a rumble of thunder. Still looks dark out there and there are some big snowflakes / soft hail falling mixed in with small ice pellets and rain, a rather odd mix of stuff falling.

[smogonthetyne]

Not for the whole area. Nunthorpe is less than five miles to Middlesbrough town centre and we still have over six inches of snow.

[Alex95]

Heavy sleet and grauple mix now.

[Snowmaggedon]

Any chance of this minging rain turning into snow?

[Cloud 10]

Well,that's everything covered over again,hard graft this cold spell.

[Alex95]

Back to snow. Can't keep up!

[NorthEastSnow]

Any chance of this minging rain turning into snow?

lets hope that the temperature drops as the sun goes down and this last little bit of showers drops a nice cover to end this....non event for us.
