No change in intensity but the flakes are huge. And the models this morning look good for our location. It's a shame i'm skiing from the 27th to the 3rd because it look like I'll miss it!

Looks like another day of very heavy snow for north easterners again, a band of heavy snow just about to hit newcastle/sunderland with about 2 hrs of snow then another band of heavy snow following on behind just above york atm but heading that way

Surprised there is not a severe weather warning for snow as it is only icy roads atm on the Met site whereas 5 hrs of heavy snow from 2 bands is looking like wreaking havoc

Been snowing here for at least 30 mins now, getting gradually heavier. First decent snowfall since Saturday night here :D

There was a dusting of fresh snow in Cleadon at about 4am, before the band fizzled out. Currently sleety rain and 0.4C, so not making much impact on the old snow cover but the new dusting has almost gone.

Edit: checking the radar, must have been right on the edge of where it fizzled out- about 5-10 miles further south probably got a few cm from that 3-4am dolloping, yet nothing just 5-10 miles further north! Can't help feeling a bit robbed here- another few centimetres would have guaranteed Cleadon a white Christmas and saved some of the nerves when the inevitable thaw sets in this afternoon.

I would think that we have a slightly better chance than you to get some snowfall but even here sleet or cold rain is a possibility.

thought it was all over this morning, light sleety rain which was freezing on impact. In the last 5 minutes however it has turned to moderate snow and it is settling easily.

Also, I've just looked at the models and very surprised to see the cold weather returning as early as Sunday after a milder Boxing Day :yahoo:

It gave everywhere to the south of Cleadon a few cm and gave everywhere from Cleadon northwards a dusting or nothing by the looks of it! It appears that at the moment coastal areas are getting rain with temperatures a fraction above freezing while inland parts are getting mainly snow.

Drizzle here but just been out in the car and it's definitely frozen hitting the windscreen.

The next area of precip looks like it'll go round me in a circle. We're picking up more of a easterly feed so it might fall as rain anyway.

Not rising as quickly for me, 0.8°C. Pretty close though I suppose.

And everything is wet with snow thawing :)

Chance of some snow showers filtering down the east coast tonight from SE Scotland but as the wind will be very light it's unclear how far south they will get- Tyne & Wear is touch & go, Stockton probably too far south.

Still just 0.9C here in Cleadon, which surprises me, I was expecting 2 or 3C by this stage, but then again the wind isn't off the sea yet.

TWS - can i get your opinion on the propects for the NE if the current synopsis comes off?

If it delivers a strong NE'ly wind, then normally anyone 50 miles of the east coast gets a pasting. However, in the model discussion thread, people are talking about midlands/wales etc. What am I missing?
