  1. We have thunder here in NORTH KENTON, just outside GOSFORTH

    Bring it on

    There's some storms moving roughly along the Scottish border. There's already been some sferics on the Netweather detector, especially just off the coast near Berwick. Hope the activity moves south a bit later.

    Afternoon Mark ,

    i will be in Consett later {for Work} so im hoping that they will last that long,

    will be heading over to Consett around 1630ish start work at 1800hrs

  2. Got a storm passing just a few miles east of here at the moment, heading for Tyne and Wear.

    Seen a few fairly bright flashes and some decent rumbles too, which for this area has to go down as a good storm!

    Hope those of you around Newcastle and Tyne and Wear get something decent.

    Also looks like another line of storms moving up on the Netweather radar.

    Evening Mark

    Think we was on the edge of that one, one flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder in the distance

  3. Yep, heard those rumbles of thunder aswell but did not observe any lightning.

    I did had a heavy shower earlier on and it did turn very heavy at one stage so some excitment at least.

    Evening GS

    Well it was only a few rumbles we heard, we havent had any rain all day, and that was forecasted, Heavy at times, However Barometer is still showing Rain

  6. Just been outside to clear the front path , OMG 4 to 5 inches snow has accumulated since Friday

    What has mad things worse, is the thick ice which is underneath all this fresh snow

  8. Not sure how true this is but my Mrs is currently in Asda {shopping} and the supervisor has just said to a few people that the council have stopped gritting , due to running out of salt, Asda at the moment are havingn to get all their salt eetc from there stock room and salt the main road leading inther car park as cars are having trouble getting in , because of skidding all over the place, If its true how can the council run out of salt , they were for warned about this current freeze
