Another blizzard hitting the coast.. I was just about to nip out for some Acka Bilk..not likely..!!
South Shields have just been on the outer edges of the showers with mostly light snow this morning and the sun had been out quite awhile with no snow melt at all, even the snow on the fence (east facing in direct sunshine)..!! So alpine conditions out there today..
Looks like everywhere between Scarborough and Aberdeen is going to get hammered..Not to mention the Thames streamer dropping quite a bit.. Folk in Kent will not be happy..
.
Edit..Ive just looked back on the Radar and Kent did Ok earlier..(thought I'd clarify before I got took to pieces..!!)
Just across the river from you and we're right in a full blown blizzard..!!
