Far North Of England - Weather Chat

[Deep Snow please]

It's warmer than spain! Right thats my daily attempt at an express headline. A UK high must be a spanish coldies over our greenland high. Look at what were missing out on...

[Summer Sun]

Dry and sunny here in Darlington but cloud appears to be coming down from the north

[Summer Sun]

Cold weather alert downgraded to level 1 for the NE with just a 50% chance of freezing conditions

Yesterday made me realise I'm getting old and grumpy.

 

Unfortunately I had to spend time on the road and on foot, in drizzle.

 

Drizzle is both garbage to drive in and garbage to walk around in. You can't put your wipers on properly but then deciding which speed of intermittency you need is also a pain in the rear.

 

And walking around in it is just pants!

 

Rant over - much like winter as things stand.

 

Have a nice evening and weekend folks.

[Cloud 10]

Agreed,drizzle is the work of the devil.

 

 

At least the frost has returned here this evening.

Frost?

 

Crikey, well above freezing here and only variable amounts of cloud.

 

Be nice to see the sun over the weekend actually if the BBC forecast has got it right.

[JP1972]

The final nail in the coffin for this spell was last night

 

Anyway the next week at least looks settled and less cold with temps rising upto around 7c for the weekend

 

Can't give a current temperature as wunderground has crashed but its turning brighter from the north so hopefully some sunshine will be with us soon

 

Pretty accurate forecast as it happens.

[Summer Sun]

Well its shaping up to be a fairly pleasant weekend for the NE with light winds and ample sunshine

 

Currently 0.4c in Darlo and plenty of sunshine should reach around 7c this afternoon

Gorgeous day today with a slight frost last night, would take another week of this kind of weather happily

[Cloud 10]

Cracking morning this morning.

Was this taken from your bedroom window this morning? I assume you're grounded and are taking pics to pass the time ...

 

[Summer Sun]

Lovely late winters day here in Darlington wall to wall sunshine and not breeze time to some some jobs in the garden done

[JP1972]

Certainly nice to see some sunshine even if it is still rather chilly.

[Summer Sun]

Dry, sunny and pleasant in Darlington 8.8c currently in a very light breeze

 

Tomorrow looking similar to today

I managed to escape and went for a drive over the moors past Wolsingham way where it is still a wintry scene.

The moors are more or less fully white here still, has thawed steadily today though.

Ah wrong thread.

 

This is the "snow-free" thread.

See above

This really is a dirty high. Way too much cloud for my liking..

It's been lovely and sunny for quite a large part of the day today though, and tomorrow's looking good too but chilly at 5c.

Tomorrow and Monday also looking sunny with some pleasant temperatures, different story for the west though much more cloud and some fog similar to today so feeling colder west of the pennines but over here in the east it looks like 3 sunny and fairly pleasant days in a row

 

 

Pressure has hit 1039mb here in Darlington a very strong high

It's not the nice sunshine though. It's ruined by the cloud. I'm probably coming across as picky but in winter it should either cold and snowy or cold and blue skies.

[garylaverick]

Well since we're in such a dull period of weather I'd thought I'd bring out some of my photos of winters gone by to cheer us all up.

 

A nice polar low in 2006

 

A light dusting in 2007

 

Which lead on to this

 

And this lovely scene

 

Durham in 2008

 

Jumping back to 2004, somewhere near Alston

 

2010

 

And finally something we have lacked this winter, unsure when this was

 

Enjoy!

[Summer Sun]

Another glorious late winters day shaping up from the NE wall to wall sunshine to start the day a slight frost under the clear skies

 

Yesterday had a big contrast in the NE and Cumbria over in Carlisle they had cloud and fog with a high of just 1c, whilst over here in the east Durham hit 10c (50f) with the sunshine.

[JP1972]

Yep glorious sunshine today although still a bit nippy - but it is early February I suppose!

Yeah, I know it'll be drizzle but still ...
