BBC Weather just tweeted this photo over Sydney Couldn't help noticing the similarity to our Storm coming up 2 years ago this summer Wouldn't mind some thunderstorms to make up for the shocking winter we've had in terms of excitement... A blend of the best bits Summer 12 and 13 would be awesome!

Dry snow this time falling, or more like blowing sideways down the street hahah sticking as well!

Moderate (very) wet snow falling here in jarrow

Shame the flow is going to be so weak on Thursday, Uppers and DAM look conducive for the S word, but fairly useless without any precip. At least it'll be cold

So it's going to be getting relatively colder this week, with relatively being the choice word in that as compared with the winter we've had thus far its an improvement, but still absolutely shocking if it's what a coldie desires for just 3 measly months of a year. I mean it hasn't been all bad at least theres been some exciting weather with the big atlantic storms rolling in, and it hasn't even been that mild - it's still felt cold. But it just isn't the same is it? We in the far north have still probably had more of a winter than those in the south, who've had milder temperatures and some not even a flake of snow, i've had one fairly heavy snow shower back in November, and I know some of us with a bit more elevation had some the other day. Wintry showers possible then in the next few days... after that who knows hopefully we can have something notable by the end of the winter/ into Spring even.

I can't cope hahaha, it's as if the garden path it's trying to lead us down again is actually a travelator. Keeping myself chained to the fence for the foreseeable

Gorgeous day outside, It's just a shame that we don't have an easterly to look forward to anymore. Following the model thread is such a headache its so easy to get sucked into great output, even when we know its still too far away to be certain, its disappointing when it's not going to happen and its another delay for the chance of some winter, The sunshine is doing wonders to cheer me up on that front though, although into next week looks a bit dreary

The frost outside is crunchy like snow, a welcome substitute in our withdrawals of the white stuff!

That's insane!

Metoffice forecast is for light snow at midnight tonight at my location tonight Could have a temporary dusting before it warms up

Yep glad i'm well away from any coasts and rivers!

The Tyne appears to have burst its banks http://tyneandwear.sky.com/news/article/91963/river-tyne-bursts-its-banks-as-north-east-prepares-for-storm Live on sky news btw

Another wintry mix falling here, slightly more wintry now with sleet/ snow/ pellets Sky is very yellow, beautiful!

Just went dark all of a sudden, heavy rain sleet and hail falling

The Shields Gazette â€@shieldsgazette43sGales rip roof off house in South Shields: http://bit.ly/1biUevk

Just had an email saying there's storm damage to my Uni buildings, it's a bit mental outside like!!

Missed all the thunder and lightning fun stuck in work, didn't hear a thing! Driving home about half an hour ago was a torrential shower with some hail mixed in, wind really gusting badly in it. There was flashing orange lights on a truck at the yorkie roundabout think they might have been pumping water out? Always floods there anytime we get torrential precip now

What an amazing bit of luck was watching that precipitation over Northumberland earlier didn't expect it to make it this far, had a flurry of snow before in Central Newcastle and now in heavy snow falling in jarrow!

Bit more of a dip in uppers and we could be in for some fun and games from Tuesday We're just on the blip in output atm could go either way, many more runs to go yet.

-sigh-

Very nearly had an air frost here this morning, down to 0.6C.

The majority of us live a few streets apart now so whatever the weather is we can walk, even that would be difficult though I imagine hahah

Can't help but take a peek at some CFS charts when i'm bored, Christmas Eve Snowmageddon looks alright

Few flashes of lightning to the north of me about 15 minutes ago, its often the case that the storms are north of the river here, just something i've noticed this year!

The blip was certainly felt here today, miserable day barely above 15C, murky cloudy skies and a howling wind. One to forget.. looking forward to some brightness again.
