Jarrow Posh

Looks like the line of showers pushing in off the sea into Northumberland is turning more wintry as it hits the land.Lets hope it stays intact as if pushes south.

The Tyne & Wear snow shield has been holding firm all day now,is there any chance of snow coming through it tonight?

GFS going for a 24 hour snow event for the far north of England and Southern/Central Scotland from Thurs into Fri.

Moderate/Heavy snow in South Tyneside now

Jarrow,South Tyneside about a hour ago.Looks like more showers heading our way too.

1st time in my 50 odd years that I find myself within a Red Weather warning zone. I love all things weather but I await tonight with a fair bit of trepidation. I have to work tonight and I am quite worried what awaits me in the morning. Wind is in my mind the most dangerous type of weather,you cant see it but its impacts can be catastrophic. Stay safe tonight everyone

Showers out in the North Sea upto the NE now intensifying...looks promising for later tonight

Netweather radar is predicting this by 20.30...first shower approaching Tyneside

I was up there the other day to see the snow,its just under 500 feet asl around there

That streamer is actually intensifying as it moves east to west across the country

Looks like that line maybe missing Tyneside to the north,the lighter shower band to the south may hit us. We shall see.

Lines of showers are starting to become organised,still nothing too heavy though

Snow grains now falling a bit harder now and trying to settle

Annoyingly,the lampost turned off just as it got started making it harder to see now lol.Very light at the moment though.

Is it me or is there a little more intensity and frequency in the shower activity showing on the radar now? Very,very light snow here atm.
