A light dusting in Ponteland this evening. Very calm 

 

That's surprising, wind is gusting round 30mph here with vicious windchill at +0.8C.
Has been snow flurries for a couple of hours.

[doctor32]

Boring few days weather wise, cloudy,damp and cold... some brightness if you lucky. Hate benign weather!!!

[doctor32]

Another cloudy day, but this more broken and allowing bright spells at times but feeling cold once more.

[4wd]

It has stayed above 1C overnight and snowcover is thawing - still mainly white though.
Very gloomy so far.

[Summer Sun]

We may see some sunshine this afternoon another cloudy night has kept the temperature above zero

Friday still looks like the day when we'll replace the colder air with something a bit milder a spell of heavy rain will will mark the change

[Summer Sun]

As hoped the cloud is thinning now allowing some sunshine to break through no where near as cold as of late

5.1c currently

True, but that fall was awesome for at least an hour and better than what others are getting currently. I never saw these synoptics as good for us anyway. Wasn't it always going to be about stalling systems from the west? We need a NE'ly.

We've still had more snow than other parts of England this season.

Hi Nick, sorry for the late reply ... work gets in the way at times!

I seem to recall one run (I know!) showing NE'lies screaming across us, but never mind!

We had a good 3 hours of heavy snow where I work at Cobalt Business Park near the Silverlink (A19) and it settled a treat right from the off. Which is odd considering there was more snow (and it hung around longer) nearer the coast than it did further inland at home nearer Newcastle centre.

Anyway, the chilly weather is nearing the end now for another year

[doctor32]

Another cloudy,cool day here, some spells of sunshine around later which will lead to a cold frosty night with poss fog patches, then a very cold day tomorrow then all change into weekend with some places seeing double fig temps.

[Summer Sun]

Final day of the cold spell and its feeling bitter

All change tomorrow with some heavy rain in the morning drier by the afternoon and a lot milder

[4wd]

Really quite severe here this morning with unpleasant windchill and snow blowing about again higher up.
Currently +1.6C and wind has touched 37mph. 

[doctor32]

rain clearing into the north sea at present... more rain in the early hours til lunctime tomorrow and breezy followed by a sunny afternoon and much milder.

nothing to extreme on the horizon yet either.

Do you know something, ahead of that band of rain the wind today was absolutely biting up here. The car thermometer said 3c but easily felt like -3 or lower.

The rain today briefly started sleety but was very rapidly replaced by rain.

I suspect it will feel quite pleasant this weekend as temperatures go from 3c to 13c potentially! Positively balmy!

[Summer Sun]

Wet and windy across the region at the moment but things will improve by this afternoon I'd say between 12:00 and 14:00 we should start and see some sunshine developing the temperature will continue to rise getting towards 10c later this afternoon

[Cloud 10]

Insanely mild out there this morning with temperatures and dewpoints in double figures.

[Deep Snow please]

Bloody mad.

[JP1972]

It's been pleasantly mild though.

If I'm honest, if we can't have freezing cold and snowy weather then this weather type suits me.

[4wd]

So much warmer indoors with minimal heating
Not keen on very mild if it's gloomy and damp, but brighter this morning and 10C
We only got to 12.7 yesterday, January last year hit 13.9C on the 9th.

[doctor32]

Some mainly very mild days ahead this week with the odd colder day... thurs and weekend? Main feature will be the wind this week along with heavy spells of rain, more so for high ground/peninnes and to the west of region.

[Deep Snow please]

Bloody heaving with rain outside 

[doctor32]

Wild out there right now, wind had me up most of the night... gusts of up to 90mph @ higher points in our region, generally around 50-60mph elsewhere and slowly easing during afternoon but turning cooler.

Some wintry showers overnight in to saturday... then potential for another storm monday followed by colder weather midweek with chance of wintry weather.

Overall very intresting weather over coming weeks i would say.

[4wd]

Fairly normal-ish 59mph peak here so far, but Met office site suggests another spike between 9 and 10am.
On the plus side it's drying things up if anything.
