Far North of England Regional Discussion 22/01/13 16z ---->

[Mick Ormiston]

Something coming on the radar..looking bang on heavy for consett.

[Snowmaggedon]

Roger Smith has said in one of the threads he expects between 10 and 20 cm in some parts of our region on Monday

[JP1972]

So what are the models showing for us in the NE at the moment?

Is Monday a frontal event??

[Cloud 10]

Colder upper air and sub-zero dew-points returning to the region by tomorrow morning

should ensure any showers will turn wintry again as we head through tomorrow.

Not a particularly potent northerly but should provide some interest with showers off

the north sea and maybe a dusting for some areas tomorrow evening.

Ive come to the conclusion that he may be a bit of a fantasist when it comes to cold, I think he may be willing his forecast of a bitter feb to come true alas unlikely IMO

[Snowmaggedon]

Had rain here this morning, where's the snow?

[smogonthetyne]

Had the odd flurry here this morning. All ppn has fallen as snow, but not much. Is just a case of radar watching and trying to catch the odd shower?

[smogonthetyne]

Whitby cut off by blizzards again. Looks like we missed out by only 20 or so miles and a bit of elevation

[Boro Snow]

i think we will struggle to get anything today in darlo

[Summer Sun]

Not a bad day here today and mix of sunshine and showers the wind is noticeable today its bitter

Currently 4.9°C and sunny

[smogonthetyne]

10 mins of very heavy hail/graupel now followed by heavy snow. Heaviest I have seen this year.

Lovely

[Snowmaggedon]

Certainly very cold and a big massive cloud has appeared over the horizon.

[Summer Sun]

Certainly very cold and a big massive cloud has appeared over the horizon.

I can see all the cloud here running down the east of me still got sunny intervals here the cloud is breaking up as it gets closer to us allowing the sun to get out

Currently 5.2°C

[smogonthetyne]

Only lasted 15-20 mins but has left cm or so. Just caught the leading edge and you could see the hail comming down in bucket loads against the bright sky.

[smogonthetyne]

Back on again

[Snowmaggedon]

The sun is back out, I think we had rain earlier

[Alex95]

Snowing in Newcastle.

[Snowmaggedon]

OMG very heavy wintry showers and very windy now haha....lasted about 2 mins :/

[Snowmaggedon]

The lack of updates on here tells the story, disappointing day for the majority of us

[peterf]

Cant see anything of concern on the snow front, until we hit Sunday evening or there abouts.

[smogonthetyne]

What's happening on Sunday? Isn't that a midlands and West if England event?

If it ain't in my back (or front) garden I dont wanna know

[Cloud 10]

A few light snow showers here today but nothing lying,although there was plenty of ice around

first thing this morning.

A few more showers to come for coastal areas over the next few hours.

[Boro Snow]

not a very good weather report there from paul mooney ie snow

[NickR]

not a very good weather report there from paul mooney ie snow

Never is. He's a mild ramper.

[Summer Sun]

not a very good weather report there from paul mooney ie snow

TBH the only chance of snow is Sunday before that its looking mostly dry and chilly with sunny intervals

Even the met office website is showing heavy rain (as of 19:53) on Sunday morning turning to sleet before turning to snow in the evening

I wouldn't get your hopes up yet for much snow it could turn into a non event again
