It was earlier but someone confirmed it was snow right on the coast so see what happens.  I'm a bit deflated with the cold spell at the minute lol

I need to learn not to get sucked into it on the mod thread.  It's never anywhere near as severe most of the time when it comes to snow Saying that it has been really cold and festive with a little covering so every cloud and all that.

Problem has been the struggle to get the real cold air southwards and for the northerly initially to be more of a NNE'ly. Been some cold nights though and some places has seen ice days. 

Still a chance in the NE for a fresh top up of snow, only takes one potent heavy shower to make a difference.

You need to take everything they say there with a shovel, not a pinch, of salt .

 

They like to exaggerate and sensationalize everything. What we are experiencing is a pretty 'normal' cold spell, by no means historical or memorable or exceptional like most posters there want us to believe.

 

It's a bit like the papers nowadays. The more you exaggerate the more clicks/likes you get...

[NorthEastSnow]

Why do the showers seem to head south but then hit this line and bounce back north.

I think that's disrespectful to the many posters on there who are knowledgeable and even said this is not like 2010. Sure some may be hyperbole but the vast majority are not imo.

I agree with mathematician and would suggest it is a lot more than some who are way over the top.

Though agree there is a few who are very knowledgeable.

I don't think anyone was being disrespectful at all. There are as you say many good posters in that thread and I've learned a lot from them.  But it's true there can be hype sometimes which I get is excitement,  but non the less my point was I'm not going to buy into it.  Or at least try not too.  I don't think any offence was meant by his comments it's an observation.  The MD thread itself is great the majority of the time but this cold spell is nothing like a lot of people hyped it up to be. Not even close yet.  

[mathematician]

It was just an observation. I meant no disrespect.

[Thundery wintry showers]

South Shields Weather (Neil Bradshaw's site) is at 1.3C, but the dew point is up at 0.7C, which is consistent with it being sleety.   There's still plenty of lying snow on the roofs on his webcam though.

I perhaps might agree in terms of snow but in fairness some runs were better than what we ended up with. Potential was there and whilst some comments saying we could be on the cusp of 2010 was OTT, the potential was there for the uppers to be colder than what they were.

Light snow just started here from this blob on the radarcurrent temp here 0.3c

been a disappointing cold spell in for us in the NE so far,  however there is still time in the coming week to get a bit snow , which is better than no snow chances at all

 

[Snowmaggedon]

Well those disappointed with the lack of snow…I suggest you don’t view the SE regional thread this evening.

I've always liked your voice of reality mate lol   hopefully we'll get a decent covering mid week?

The mods need to clamp down on the posters who shout boom, 2010 and 62/63 every time there is a cold spell.

[P-M]

So the radar looks half promising now as they're moving more on shore.  However i will wait and see what actually falls from the sky. 

 

To be fair good luck to the southerners, so many years they miss out so I'm buzzing they've managed to get some snow this time around.  At least up here we usually stand a better chance.  Just not this time so far

Surely that can't evaporate or miss Chester
