  1. Not Nick sapping the fun out of things again. Honestly mate, you've spent 4 days just moaning about how bad the cold spell has been, even when you've had 2 inches of snow overnight and a heavy shower is just passing through Durham. If it's that bad, surely you have something better to do than spamming a forum with whingeing?
  2. Randomly woke up at half 5 to see a half decent shower pass through here. My internal snow sensor must have kicked in. As a side note, much better 00z GFS run. Maybe the Met Office were onto something with their long-term outlook. We might get to do it all again in two weeks!
  3. It will take longer to feed down to us, don't worry mate. We've actually done really well from NE'ly winds in the past, in fact it's my favourite wind direction for Middlesbrough. Some big showers hitting our Geordie and Mackem friends now. Enjoy!
  4. Wasn't expecting anything at all until about 3am but things appear to be getting going already. Still expect the north of the region to do well initially before this reaches all of us, so no need to despair Teessiders if the radar doesn't look great for us while everyone else are reporting heavy snow showers!
  5. Another one heading your way now mate. Showers are a little bit longer lasting compared to yesterday, had a couple of half decent ones this morning.
  6. Some bulkier showers developing at sea in the last half hour or so which look like they'll be headed towards the general Durham area.
  7. See PM's reply to you 20 minutes ago. TWS did a post earlier explaining this in more detail. Unfortunately sometimes these factors aren't always easy to predict in advance. That's part of what makes the snow hunt exciting.
  8. That's a chart from 1991 Nick, he's explaining why it snowed so heavily that night. People have already explained several times the reasons for the lack of snow over the last two days. Asking over and over again isn't going to change anything.
  9. Probably the heaviest shower of the day just passed through here. Only lasted 5 minutes and was still graupel unfortunately. Should be on it's way to you @Snowmaggedon
  10. Don't do it! Half the forum has already defected to the Nick R camp, keep the faith. Hopefully the change in wind direction improves our luck. Never had so many near misses in one day before.
  11. Another near miss! The "clumpage" of the showers does seem to be improving around the south of the region, hopefully continues and goes that way for all of us this evening.
  12. The MetOffice were forecasting 2-5cm per day or 10-15cm where streamers hit. If we just took weather forecasts as gospel, then this forum would be pretty redundant wouldn't it.
  13. Making good progress in terms of the low clearance also in the last hour. The combination of this continuining and the lower thicknesses arriving in the next couple of hours should mean things continue to pep up in our neck of the woods. There's definitely still scope for plenty of us to get a covering overnight.
  14. Improvements in the north of the region in the last hour. Hopefully, at long last, signs that the favourable conditions to the north of us are trickling their way south.
  15. Aye, unfortunately it seems to be moving at a glacial pace (screenshots below show it has hardly moved in the last hour and a half). Very frustrating but it will eventually clear and allow beefier showers to form, as has happened in SE Scotland. For those getting frustrated, it might be better to do something else for a couple of hours and see where we are then. Unfortunately can't see anything interesting happening this side of midnight now.
  16. Indeed, that area seems to have pepped up significantly in the last hour. Hopefully a sign of increased instability and things get going for the region in the next couple of hours.
  17. Some brighter echoes starting to appear on the radar now, especially towards the far south of the region for some reason. Guisborough may see something with a little more intensity over the next hour or so.
  18. The North Sea snow machine does seem to have activated at last! My preferred lampost has malfunctioned though, absolute disaster.
