  1. Would appreciate some thoughts and opinions, such as, does anyone think this cold spell to last into next week or beyond ? If so is it likely for the snow fall to increase significantly? Thanks for any replies
  2. Think I'll watch TV... fed up with the watching the weather radar, certainly fed up with 'graupel' BTW I've noticed graupel is an anagram of lager up ... I think there's a hidden message in that ... Cheers
  3. Even the weather apps are mocking - whenever I refresh the app it always states the same 'No Precipitation' ...'Heavy snow starting in 30 mins'... just waiting for it to blow a raspberry Is it Groundhog Day ?
  4. Last week, I mentioned to my Eastern European wife (she knows all about harsh winters) that it'll be sub zero weather and plenty of snowfall to look forward to. A Beast was approaching... She just derisively raised her eyebrows and shook her head... I just wish I could've her wrong
  5. Popped outside to for a quick gander, it doesn't feel that cold imho (although it could be the alcohol tbf) nothing on the ground just a few icy pellets on top of my car, all rather disappointing considering the hype.
  6. Off topic, my daughter introduced me to a 'Godfather Cocktail' this evening, it's simply whisky and amaretto over ice. It's an amazing drink just thought I'd share if you have never tried it
  7. Nothing of note falling from Sunderland albeit I'm 1/2 mile from the coast -hoping it'll improve later through out the day
  8. Quick question if anyone knows? The various (somewhat unreliable) weather apps/ sites has been mentioned a few times. Doing a online search I came across this site: https://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/sunderland/sr1-3/minute-weather-forecast/708899 Is this one of the more reliable sites to get up to date info ? Thanks
  9. Years ago my wife bought her childhood wooden sledge back from Eastern Europe, it quite old but very robust, it's been sitting in our loft collecting cobwebs for over 30 years; I'm quite tempted to give it a run out if the snow settles on my local hills
  10. Sunderland is also looking quite bleak atm for snow on the weather apps. All the recent snow fall has circumvented the city and fell further inland. I have my fingers firmly crossed we'll see some substantial snow next week
  11. Any of you clever peeps that follow the forecast - do you reckon it's likely that Sunderland will be hit with a a storm tonight ? Only asking as I have my youngest daughter and her friends wishing to camp out in the back garden this evening, I don't want to be the party- pooper - so to speak
  12. Currently hearing a few rumbles in sunderland the air smells fresh with rain
  13. I was looking for info about lightening and the camping out risk (my son is a scout leader) and he will camping out for a few days ... well I know you have more chance of winning the lottery jackpot than being struck! Well, I come across informative this pdf article 'Lightning Risk Management' (attached). It a interesting read for for the less informed ( learners like myself ) - so apologies to more knowledgeable or if it has been posted before! Lightning-Risk-Management.pdf
  14. Good luck with the journey mate, I'm supposed to be in Morpeth @8pm tonight and I'd be only driving from Sunderland, I'm quite reluctant to make journey out there (and back later after 11pm ish ) considering the amber warnings and all the amount of accidents and breakdowns over the past couple of days ...
  15. gas supplies warning given http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43229297
