Light covering here. A promising shower heading down through Northumberland all but pettered out by the time it reached here. However... a reminder that NE is great for snow if the wind direction is right. NW or NNW wind is dry and sunny every time! -
Yes. As the chart only shows 12hr intervals, I take it that the feature running down the coast was further north earlier
-
Showers seem to be making their way further south in NE Scotland now....
-
They have to give one as there is a risk of snow. Does not mean you will get it due to the nature of showers... however, very occasionally it goes the other way and there is an unexpected snow outbreak...this is rare.... unless there is a NE'ly
-
You can see why on the FAX chart
-
Go here. Choose UK Snow risk. You can see there is a moderate risk for NE coast from 3am, then a higher risk for North Yorkshire after 7am. TBH its going to take a change in the predicted wind direction for showers to hit NE coast. Be very lucky to get even one here.... Check this again at about 10pm tonight...

You can see in the charts the wind direction buckling to what looks like a true northerly for a time in the early hours... before shifting to a NW later in the day. The devil will be in the detail! If it does make a northerly, how long for will determine which parts get some snow. I would not be expecting anything inland at all. Coastal regions favoured. Especially N.Yorks.

feb+1991+weather+charts+uk - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM The real beast!!!
-
NE'ly is best. The last easterly "beast from the east" was only good for snowfall well inland... Feb 1991 was the last time I saw a real potent beast. Shower after shower. White out conditions and over a foot of snow to the coast by morning.
-
We are in the warm sector. Colder air is already in S.Scotland heading south. Watch the radar as the transition in forecast to bring a band of precipitation down with 100% chance of being snow by midnight (according to gfs!) Then before Friday, FAX chart showing chance of a couple of features which could bring some snow....
-
Problem with this blast is its not been a direct Northery. More of a NNW'ly. Problem with an easterly is the airmass needs to be very cold to get snow on the areas 10 miles or less from the coast (unless you have elevation). IMO the very best direction for snow showers is a direct northerly OR even better NE'ly where you get streamers forming (2010). The airmass does not need to be as cold to get snow right along the coast. Only issue would be if you are well inland!!!
-
I don't think that matters in a westerly flow. (for North East parts nearer the coast) Its your elevation.
-
From my memory... decent cold spells are always downgraded in the days leading up to the incursion.... and often upgraded in the 48hr period...then often last longer than expected...as the saying goes...get the cold in...
-
Well at least there are no fires to light for the just stop oil protestors this year... at least in the UK
-
Just read the netweather summer forecast. July is the exact opposite of what actually happened. Whats the point? Why almost every time when I read the Model Output Discussion does someone say "The models are struggling at the moment".... Aren't they always at some point in the timeline?
-
Pity it wasn't 9 dropping to 0 as there would have been a dumping of snow!
-
The rain passing over the region right now. Its heavy stuff. Imagine if it was snow. What you could class as "Heavy Snow"
-
I think this can be explained by the patchy nature of the ppn. You could see this on the radar last night. The bands between heavier and lighter were fairly static, leading to an uneven distribution
-
Better get the ruler out as thats a big difference!
-
It seems that the north has not got the snow depths expected. Check out the camera on A689. Not really much there. Looking on the other threads its S.Yorkshire thats done well. Some areas getting 25cm and still going. https://www.durham.gov.uk/weathercameras?action=detail&camera=13
-
Light snow continues to fall here. Thats 4 mornings in a row with a light snow covering, which for March is memorable! Looks to be some heavier snow nearby coming in off the sea Thats the one thats headed for me, Could be the first heavier snow of the spell if it hits here
-
Moderate snow here now as the convective showers hit. Seems to be laying which is bizarre considering it's 2.5c.
-
Well hes a liar then! He is about 3 miles east. Can you take a pic so I can catch him out?
