Really? I'm in Gilesgate and it hasn't been more than light snow for hours. The radar doesn't suggest it's any more in Langley Park than here, a few miles away.
Anyone any thoughts on today/tomorrow? GFS06z leaves everything up to Teeside, but missing the north of the region entirely. Could be incredibly frustrating. Sheffield will be buried!
Is there any hope?
Absolutely! This is 1 April 2013. Near Langdon Beck/the ski centre up there. After this I came back to Durham where it was 10°C and planted my broad beans!
Agree with that.
You can always tell we've missed out on proper heavy snow, because people start reporting heavy snow and blizzards and whiteouts when it's no more than moderate snow with a moderate breeze.
They need to penetrate a long way inland for me. The top of the NYM always does for us when it's from the SE. I just want to hit -10°C. Currently -9.8°C.
