Anyone get some snow around Newcastle this morning?, was a nice looking clump passed over first thing this morning.

 Cloud 10 No it was just heavy rain.

I hope we are going to see some brightness soon. These endless days of dark damp cold dullness is getting rather depressing

Dusting of snow this morning and more expected this evening according to weather app. All gone now. As usual at least 3 types of weather in one day.

Welcome to the forum.

 

We look forward to your reports of 10 ft drifts in the winter's to come.

[Phil Blake]

Anyone else sick of rain? Surely there will be no sign of hosepipe bans this summer. Been dry today like but still lack of sun is depressing. 

[cumbrian ice]

 Phil Blake yes getting really annoying now. We haven't had one nice settled spring day here and its mid April! Absolutely hacked off seeing southerners out and about in their locale with no coats!

[Gizzy]

Anyone else thinking like me, seems to happens every year, gets to April / May and we get non stop N/E/NE winds, two months ago these would have brought a winter paradise.

Don't want these winds now, give me a southerly now please. Sick of this rubbish weather.

 Gizzy if I remember last year was quite chilly right up until the end of May, looks like we are getting something similar, no sign of anything changing either during the next week or so.

[Gizzy]

 Snow-mad-dave Yes you are right, seems to be the way our weather is playing out these last few years.

Can't seem to get a northerly or easterly in Dec/Jan/Feb but any amount after that, even the summer months we get plenty of them dragging in the grey wet drizzle from the sea.

I'm royally fed up of this insipid weather on the north sea coast. Cool to cold, dull to dreary, damp to wet. It's even worse than this time last year, which I thought was about as poor as it could get.
