Has it been difficult to forecast?

The weather today, was always going to happen like this. Whatever building blocks it required were all in place. We just haven't got the technology to have the required understanding

It's the weather it will always do what it is going to do. Most of the time we don't have a clue

[Boro Snow]

its still 3 degrees here so no chance of snow and dew point is at 0c

[smogonthetyne]

One word

IMMATURE

well thank you for sharing your fuller understanding. Most enlightning

[NickR]

Finally! TUrning to wet snow here.

Every time the ppn is over Newcastle, etc and not us,,, finally we get ppn over us that hasn't moved for like 2 hours... and we're a degree too warm to make the most of it! LOL

Snow now but won't settle.

[Airedalejoe]

Folk in the Yorks thread reporting snow so considering they are further inland and with greater elevation, anyone hoping for snow tonight are going to be disappointed.

Was in the car about 30 minutes ago and temp was showing 6c - not a cat in hells chance of anything remotely wintry tonight I'm afraid.

As it starts to turn to snow all around Durham!!!

[Boro Snow]

these being no ppn over darlo for 3 hours,,, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr north york moors,

[Snowmaggedon]

Nothing has fallen from the sky here today, not even a drop of rain

[tynevalleysnow]

This uncold cold spell is due to end on wednesday with heavy snow to rain event

[Summer Sun]

Wednesday remains on course to see some wintry weather before turning a lot milder on Thursday

As it clears it starts to turn to rain

This will be a carbon copy of the last snowfall, we'll go to sleep with a whiteout and wake up with it all melting

i actually think we will wake up with it all gone its meant to turn quite quickly to rain and temp will rapidly increase

[Boro Snow]

yellow warning for snow issued for wed doesnt include darlo tho or if you are on the coast looks more like a rain/sleet event

[Summer Sun]

The snow warning come as far east as Newton Aycliffe any snow that does fall only looks temporary as temperatures start to rise later in the day

Valid from: 0600 on Wed 13 Feb 2013

Valid to: 1800 on Wed 13 Feb 2013

A band of sleet and snow will spread across much of Scotland and parts of northern England during Wednesday. Accumulations of 2 to 6 cm could occur at lower elevations, but perhaps more than 10 cm over some hilly areas, where drifting is possible in strong winds. However, the snow should ease and revert to rain later in the day, so snow cover at low levels should be temporary. The public should be aware of the risk of disruption, particularly to travel.

[Summer Sun]

GFS is starting to look marginal for parts of the region already

Those high up should be fine but for most close to the coast could see sleet

[Snowmaggedon]

Game over for those not living high up above clouds *sigh*

[Summer Sun]

Maybe the NAE could deliver region wide

[Alex95]

It will snow at low levels on Wednesday for a little while at least, I think those charts from the GFS can be a bit inaccurate as the resolution isn't high enough.

Had an awful journey to Newcastle on the Metro this morning - was that "Andy." from Netweather I saw complaining on their Twitter feed?

[Boro Snow]

important ecm coming up i think

Game over for those not living high up above clouds *sigh*

lol its not over just yet

[Boro Snow]

wed is looking marginal to me now

[Snowmaggedon]

wed is looking marginal to me now

So it is more or less game over lol

[Boro Snow]

on friday were still under cold air

[Snowmaggedon]

It's been bitterly cold today, shame there was no precipitation around as it would have been all snow

[Snowmaggedon]

Is there a chance of any snow blowing in from the North Sea tomorrow?
