Yeah especially when Stockton has a snow warning

 

Sky starting to get a bit brighter to the north so it appears to be coming to an end shortly

Nothing to write home about.

It's already down below 1C here in the shower now.

Sort of white but will be through in a minute so only temporary.

[Mokidugway]

Enjoy your snow , a tropical 6.2c in South cumbria !!...

[4wd]

It's not enjoyable in wind still touching 50mph.
Sort of icy sandblasting

[Boro Snow]

It will be colder than 3c Gav it's 2.1 now

[Summer Sun]

It will be colder than 3c Gav it's 2.1 now

 

Yep looking that way could be very icy in the morning if it stays clear overnight......

The heavy wet snow/hail shower a couple of hours ago deposited a white cover on the local low fells, down to 100 metres, looks like snow but when you look it is clearly compacted hail - still quite a wintry scene.

 

Has gone quieter on the shower front last hour or so, but suspect we will see a number of heavy showers rattle through over next 12 hours.

[Cloud 10]

Snowing again here now and starting to settle.

Snow a bit wettish just down the road cloud but b blowing around in the gusts. Showers look like increasing according to radar so a chance of a covering if it stays cold.

[Cloud 10]

Aye,its melted a bit on roads but still sticking on the grass.

 

A heavy shower will sort it out.

Looking poor for the coming week. Apart from the wind, all the snow looks like missing our region.

Thats the problem when you get a west / north westerly flow this region only really benefits an east or North easterly flow. Although I had some snow this afternoon its still 22 months since we had a covering on the ground my snow shovels remain out of work

[Snowmaggedon]

Looks like patchy showers at best looking at the radar, are we expecting an organised band of precipitation later tonight?

[garylaverick]

Just been for a drive out. Blizzard conditions and about an inch of snow on the road from Kirkwhelpington onwards on the A696. Snow tyres did brilliantly but didn't risk the run up to Carter Bar.

What kind of nutter drives from Washington to Kirkwhelpington on a night like tonight? I get why you'd be micturated given the non-event it's become here but that's stupid snowgazing.

I do it quite often when snow is on the horizon. I'm a car enthusiast and mine is kitted out with good snow tyres and its good to have experience driving in these conditions.

You've seen the traffic carnage we have in this country when it snows and it's simply because people have no idea how to drive to the conditions.

At no point was I out of control or in a dangerous situation, you can come along next time if you wish!

Just like the storm chasers in USA, no point sitting waiting for the snow to come to me when I have a perfectly good car to go find it myself.

Glad I'm not the only one. I drove 120 miles tonight to experience an all out blizzard. Well experienced driving on snow and I have my winter tyres on and a good set of tunes. Have seen 4 episodes of snow so far this winter from chasing, if I hadn't I wouldn't of seen anything so far. Real snow nutter.
