[lizmartin1981]

I'm in bed with leccy blanket on watching motd, if it actually turns to snow for anyone ill get up and have a look here otherwise I'm not moving!

[Freezing-Point]

Temp dropped to the lowest so far tonight 1.3c.  Very light flakes of snow blowing in the wind.

Black and white or red and white persuasion?

[lizmartin1981]

Black and white, to the annoyance of my mam and brother and delight of my dad lol. Feel sorry for my 5 kiddies though as they are all being brought up to support the toon so will probably never know glory

Just replied to you without quoting and have no idea how to change it, answer above!

The closer it gets the less impressive it looks.

Haha, we might see Newcastle win a trophy before we see snow at this rate!

Yes, I've been told that before.

 

Oh, the precip! Sorry, my bad.

 

Nicholas, expect nothing and thou shall not be disappointed.

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

Snow getting heavier here. Will drift badly when it takes hold.

[Cloud 10]

Moderate sideways snow here now.

 

Is the radar avin' a larf?

Its not avin' a larf around, just looked out and diddly squot is falling.

 

Its a strange radar with PPN just dissapearing when it gets to a certain point but once again, its faffing on when conditions seem favorable. Got to say, forecasts yesterday were off the mark, they had plenty of PPN falling for most of the evening yet its been bone dry. All this is summing up this winter in a nutshell, sheer frustrating.

 

Give me a clean Northerly with the good old reliable sunshine and shower set up, that might happen mid week aslong the models stop trending of ridging the high in too quickly. 

[NickR]

Radar suggests this is fizzling out into a non-event.

You don't need radar to tell you that

Very strange, I think the snow must be coming from a long track as its completely horizontal as I found out taking dog out in last ten minutes.

Might have to change my forum name as had to Don the deerstalker hat and scarf, not very Geordie like.

I did Find the snow a bit wet on the face buy settling easy on the dry and now frozen ground. Could be good if that stagnant clump on the radar ever decides to move south

The white stuff on the face can't be pleasant.

 

Dry here at present.

We need a Soda Streamer.

[JP1972]

Dry with orange clouds, I think it's time to call it a night!

[Geordiesnow]

Dry with orange clouds, I think it's time to call it a night!

 

Yep, this is the period where it will probably become too marginal, the PPN just faffed on and did nothing when it wasnt marginal, a really weird night. No doubt it will arrive now we are in the period where we are on the wrong side of marginal. 

 

I don't expect to wake up to a white scene but how many times have I been wrong in the last few days! 

[JP1972]

Raining.

 

I give up!

[geordiekev]

Just started to snow again but can see some slushy dross in amongst the biggish snow flakes.

Looks like the precip is making its way slightly further south according to latest radar.

Edit: its snowing at Carter bar on the border so defo chances inland, but is quite unbelievable that we can't score from a frigid northerly.

... and just to rub salt in the wounds, look at the centre and south of the uk getting steady snow.

Totally agree much like last night its mostly rain here now. Still a few more days to hope for though, once these warm sectors scoot off dan sarf.

Are they really?

[Geordiesnow]

well if geordiekev getting rain now then even if it did started off as snow, it would of certainly turned back to rain, the PPN was just weird, totally disorganised and the models to an extent got it wrong(they were predicting PPN to hit evening time and it never). 

 

Apart from the slight risk of shower activity tomorrow morning before winds back too NW'ly, its onwards to Tuesday/Wednesday, things don't look quite as good but its one of those where on paper, it may look unspectacular but a slack flow could produce more in the way of prolonged PPN, and hopefully by then, its a clean proper convective Northerly... can't believe it this is our 3rd Northerly of the season and not one of them has been the proper sunshine and shower set up.
