That time of year again where I appear! Noticed there's a meltdown as per usual on the Winter thread from the southerners

 

We might get a bit lucky over the next week or so up here I reckon 

Every year it's the same. It's quite funny isn't it?!?

Actually I think your location may do better than the rest of the North East this time, but only time will tell 

[Phil Blake]

Definitely think there could be a few surprises this week. Great to be in with a shout so early in the season. Welcome back everyone 

[Chris Smith]

Speaking of winter in general, a combo of some decently cold air from Scandanavia and this year's high SSTs in the North Sea could deliver some proper snow dumps. Just have to get everything aligned - which I presume is what happened in 2010.

Nice looking band working down from the NE.

Now then, wonder where that snow shield positions itself this season.

Seriously do think we will see some snow over the next 24 hours.

Welcome back everyone. Early in the season and a warning where it covers where I live, can’t believe it lol. 

Watch the snow shield NES !!

[Cloud 10]

No snow shields this winter,costs to much to power them.

You can guarantee the shield will be back to frustrate this winter. 

[mathematician]

Let's not jinx it! No shield this year! We can do that!

Good to see this thread alive with prospect of snow in the NE.

In north easterly and northerly airstreams I often dip into this thread rather than North west. Sometimes we are on the receiving end, but normally only far east Cumbria and NE Pennine regions. 

[seabreeze86]

Wouldn’t rule out a dusting at least away from immediate coasts tonight 

[ScottSnow]

Looks like we might me be in with a chance of a couple cms this week.

Its going to be locations close enough to the coast to catch the showers but far enough away/high enough for it to lie. Stanley will probably get something. I’m hoping my location gets lucky.

[Gizzy]

Think Whitby / Scarborough will catch more of it, whether it settles there not so sure.

Sure the moors will get some.

[Continental Climate]

Just went out to do shopping and saw two gritters in darlo. That's a sure sign if ever I saw one. 

[snowmackem]

Looking at the radar, could be some snow in the Newcastle area by 10pm. Even a sprinkling would be great, now, where's that lamp post?

[Vee89]

Glad the regional thread is alive again, can’t fully grasp the model thread. Excited to lamppost watch after the match. 

[NL]

A short very light snow flurry just passed through here right on the coast. Radar showing shower activity increasing ..

its snowing in Westmoor

 

[A.J]

first snow of the winter here in sunderland...just light atm, but lovely to see ! 

[NorthEastSnow]

Now where have I seen this before 

The stupid wind direction that this region always gets means as soon as it heads here it goes back out to sea… 

[Vee89]

Coming down lightly in Boldon, but streets are slightly white and kids (and me) are over the moon to see it

Not going to be a issue for much longer , wind north easterly next few days 

[ScottSnow]

Snowing lightly here in Gateshead 

[damianslaw]

Tyne and Wear hitting the sweet spot right now. Expect many near the coast may have a light cover early hours.

[NorthEastSnow]

Not sure I get these met office warnings. 
To me it’s the opposite of what they’ve put and the coastal regions getting all the showers.

Yes wind starting to turn more to the north as the low pulls away. Got my eye on that clump just up the coast

The wind is still slightly north west so showers will clip coastal areas but probably not settle. Wind direction starts to change from now so showers will get further inland
