Far north and northeast of England - regional chat

[Freezing-Point]

The showers have not really stopped all day here, but been very light or very short if heavier.  Still waiting for a prolonged shower with blizzard.

Things starting to look very good on the radar for Newcastle now.  Two big showers incoming looking like it will be a direct hit.  Perfect for the rush hour

The next showers seem aligned more north-south rather than the east-west streamers from this morning.

incoming juice alert for central / southern areas 

 

Is it me or do the showers look more east to west aligned now?  Rather than SSE/SE?

With the wind a bit more to SE today showers have become less severe, but when we get one it is dramatic.
Looks like being a high of -2.6C just before 1pm
Wind is gusty and causing considerable drifting.
There's maybe 6-8" of powdery snow.

Looking at the satellite images on SAT24, you can actually make out a distinct narrow band of more intense cloud that looks like a band or streamer headed in roughly the direction of the North East, poss Tyneside, maybe due in about an hour? Have a look, what do you think?

 

This is looking a bit better for Newcastle i feel.

[P-M]

Definitely coming alive now for most areas...

I'd say they're moving more east to west now not se to nw which they were.  

[NickR]

Looks great for Newcastle soon.

When will the winds turn more Easterly? This is what those of us from Durham south need.

[Chris.]

Definitely a more direct easterly approach from last few frames on radar

The most impressive part of today is the Dew Point. currently at -6.2. It's now -3.2. One colleague on mine who live near Gateshead says his Dew Point was at -8 this morning
