Far North Of England - Weather Chat

[Cloud 10]

The first band hung around for a lot longer than looked likely and still a few flakes coming down.

 

The second band could be even better and then the showers behind it.

Seems that the south of the region is yet again doing much better out of this spell. Very little of note from Durham up it seems (at low levels). Boro and Darlo seem to be having much more success.

Well i am not one to moan but when your lucks out your lucks out, it remained cold enough to snow but the band fizzled out on the eastern flank so a few flakes in the wind was as good as it got.

Frustrating, ain't it?

 

BTW my daughter loves Redcar ever since we went on a fossil-finding mission to the beach there. Found some great fossils

another band is following you maybe more successful with that I think I'll revisit the radar in a hour time and see were it's at

This snow just doesn't want to give up for Darlo flakes getting bigger again

[Snowmaggedon]

After a couple of minutes of respite....it's snowing again. Getting heavier by the second, looks like MO and Beeb underestimated it

[seabreeze86]

The joys of living on the coast, i now have light drizzle, i am going to drive up to the moors this afternoon i need to see snow on the ground ha ha, 

 

I think i will be on the wrong side of marginal this afternoon but use inlanders (not sure if that is a word) will have a better chance.

 

Nice to see other parts on the region getting snow

 

EDIT ITS TURNED BACK TO SNOW STILL VERY LIGHT THOUGH

[doggy123]

Nice dusting here this morning, looks like plenty more to come with showers affecting eastern parts of the region all night tonight.

lovely cold clear day tomorrow to enjoy the snow in!

[Cloud 10]

Looks to be a small Low pressure just off the NE coast at the moment.

 

[Snowstorm1]

Still snowing lightly here

[Deep Snow please]

Snow shied appears active down here.

[Snowmaggedon]

Slight thaw here but it's still snowing :/

[Cloud 10]

Turning foggy here now,although still with the odd tiny snowflake.

[NorthEastSnow]

Like people have said round here still snowing. Looks great.

I didn't have any excitement yesterday but I will retract that statement.

snap only worrying thing is temp is 1.2c id like it a little lower

[Summer Sun]

Snow just about stopped now going to be very interesting to see how long it hangs around

[gordonm]

second band just hit heavy sleet/rain! boo

[smogonthetyne]

Still lightly snowing, like it was when it started. A cm or two

[Freezing-Point]

The trough is very close to here now.  Sky going dark.  Could deliver a bot more than the last band by the looks of it.  Temp is 1.1c, but I expect that to drop once the ppn starts.....

[Snowmaggedon]

Big flakes...

[JP1972]

Had such a small amount of snow it's barely worth talking about.

 

Very cloudy and chilly.

[Cloud 10]

Just started snowing here again.

 

 

Sleet alert for low ground.

[Summer Sun]
