Far North Of England - Weather Chat

[Continental Climate]

horrible weather here raining and windy

Where are you mate? 

If that system working south is mostly rain its a shame because there seems like a good few hours of precip to be had

[NickR]

Sleet at best here - and I'm at about 300ft!

[JP1972]

I think we might have to hope that the ban of precip arrives after dark as temperatures may be slightly lower.

[Summer Sun]

Temperatures are rising to around 3c in parts of the region now as forecasted by the met office

 

With all this snow melt tomorrow morning could see a major ice hazard on untreated surfaces

[JP1972]

Rain/sleet mix again.

[smogonthetyne]

Snowing here fairly heavy

And off again two mins later

Light sleet here but meto have warnings out for system running down the coast overnight so hopefully it will start to cool down.

[gazzac69]

rain here has now turned back  to sleet

[geordiekev]

rain here has now turned back  to sleet

Yeah, its a strange afternoon all the different mixes as snowing again up here. Hopefully once the afternoon draws out there will be a better chance of snow to lower ground if the showers keep pushing through.

[gazzac69]

turning more to snow now rather than sleet  nice big flakes

Sleet lower down in Shotley Bridge, climb to Blackhill and snowing, in Consett a good covering and bitter in wind! Now turning to snow back lower down and temp is dropping currently 1 degree was 2 an hour ago. Good signs.

As i see it this afternoon we have a wintry mix of rain,sleet,hail and snow showers running down eastern side of our region, snow mainly on higher ground inland, with wet snow/sleet to lower levels. hopefully temps will fall this evening and with ground surfaces freezing over the snow will start to settle if this low pressure system in north sea pushes showers or persistent sleet/snow further inland later.

 

Temp here slightly dropping to 1.7c and snowing at present but rather wet.

[geordiekev]

Looks like a more organised system pushing the showers inland and again they are defo snow at elevation despite radar indicating sleet.

[Andy_]

The sleet has turned to snow here in Jarrow

[JP1972]

This is probably going to be our highlight of Winter 14/15.

 

Boring!

[Deep Snow please]

Quite a bit of snow in the mix now but the ground is just too wet. Holding onto some hope in that s similar sort of day in 2013 gave a few inches.

[gordonm]

temp definitely dropping here back at 1c still very wet sleety rain

[doctor32]

heavy snow now, starting to settle aswell... pretty big flakes and temp dropping further to 1.1c

[Snowmaggedon]

Hopefully by time the band of precipitation reaches southern parts of the region temperatures will have dropped

[smogonthetyne]

On agan, very cold still settled snow from earlier

Looking good

[Continental Climate]

everything drippy and wet in darlo and i can confirm very light rain

[Cloud 10]

Moderate snow here again after a sleety spell about an hour ago,with a slushy covering being restored.

[Deep Snow please]

Watching what easily be a few cms of snow evaoporate in to the rain sodden ground is one if the most infuriating things I've seen

[Summer Sun]

Temperature is falling again in Darlo down to 1.9c now not much snow left from this mornings covering

 

EDIT

 

Snow just started again
