Far North Of England - Weather Chat

[NickR]

They might skirt to the W of Durham

 

Then there is a huge gap.. are we expecting those more organised showers off Scotland to reach us? Or more to pep up?

[gordonm]

the precip is over me on radar and showing pink for snow yet there is not a drop of rain sleet or snow!!!!

[geordiekev]

Radar looking good for those of a Geordie persuasion.

METO have yellow warning for most coastal areas and inland for the north east overnight and radar shows snow events even down to coastal areas so fingers xd.

PPN evaporating before hitting the ground? surely not! 

[doggy123]

looking good boys!

[doggy123]

moderate snow in cramligton settling on all surfaces, yes!

[geordiekev]

moderate snow in cramligton settling on all surfaces, yes!

Here's hoping to get a decent cover on top of the ice rink left over from today's wet snow which has made the paths lethal.

At least the ground is solid cold to allow better settling throughout the region.

[NickR]

That gap to the right of the band coming into Newcastle now has my name written all over it! lol

[doggy123]

No issues settling here although it has now stopped.. hopefully just a warm up before the bigger showers

[gazzac69]

light/moderate snow falling now and lying

[geordiekev]

Hopefully convection from the north sea should hopefully keep them coming for a while and be a nice surprise in the morning and provide a good starting point for the rest of the week or 2.

how is the rest of the week looking for us now? Im not expecting much further snow after tonight really

[Geordiesnow]

snowing here too, same report as everyone else, not lasting very long but it did stick, only a dusting a mind. 

[gordonm]

Ah yes heavy snow here now, it's lying well and its a white out!!!

[doggy123]

Good lad Gordon, moderate snow here now as well happy days. looks like this could be a fun night

[Geordiesnow]

Must be from that decent sized blob that is in Northumberland at the moment, at last some rewards for patience.

 

Goodness, it looks like my location could go through that gap, wish it would close up, I'll see whether this shower will hit or not and then hit the hay for the night although no doubt I will still be radar watching.

[Jarrow Posh]

Looks like the showers coming into Tyne and Wear now more from the NNE rather than due North,looking good at the moment

[geordiekev]

Think I'm a touch too far inland though radar shows it passing over but can't see much clouds.

Hopefully will be a surprise in morning but need some sleep after this morning's treasure hunt. Still 3 separate days of laying snow in under a week is not bad.

It's my first winter back in uk after living under the centre of the Azores high for 2 boringly hot years so nice to have snow again

Your location is now looking better than mine for now, nice big blob looks like it's about to hit your area.

I'm waiting for the lighter showers to hit here then going to bed, looks like a long gap after and my alarm is set for 05:35 for work

Good luck everyone!

[geordiekev]

Last lookout before bed and hey presto, its snowing again but quite fine atm but at least can sleep seeing some flakes, for the 4th day now in a week, so very impressed.

Enjoy fellow Northerners

[doggy123]

some big showers off Scotland heading our way, lets hope they make it, should hit around 0500

[NickR]

Yet again it's Boro and around there that are getting it. Naff all for Durham-Newcastle. No proper snow for my kids this year it looks... terribly frustrating when it's bucketing down 30 miles away

[Freezing-Point]

Well there has been plenty of showers here over night.  Perhaps enough for a few inches.  However is been a sleet mix leaving a light slushy covering.  Temp now is 0.4c.   This event has been painfully close.  We have paid the price for having mild autumn and winter so far leaving high SSTs which have modified the cold air just enough.  We need to source some colder air.......

[doggy123]

nothing but slush here this morning, gutted

[NL]

Around 2 this morning we had a thin (3-5mm) but 100% covering of snow, shame the surface wind direction changed and started coming off the sea from a NNE direction pushing dew points well over 0℃ and sleet/rain was the end result.. Oh well looked pretty at 2:30am..
