Looks like the arctic there mate you've done well after all. Is that gilesgate bank or just a bit further up? 

Further up. Just down from where the Traveller's Rest used to be.

Awesome thanks for posting that

The speed this shower has just came over is ridiculous. Winds on the leading edge destructive too. Damaging the fences/bins away down the street

[gordonm]

its really bad wind here too!!!

 

[P-M]

Heavy snow shower just blown through here but like some have said it's the strength of the wind that strikes me.  Really gusty and strong it's crazy and bone chillingly cold!

Powers gone out in bits of NE63. Factory alarms going.

[NorthEastSnow]

It’s just getting better and better.

Appears to be back on. Alarms still sounding however.

[NickR]

Probably just as well I got the rabbit in.

It's just taken me 55 minutes to drive from Durham to Aycliffe. Roads in the region are awful ?

[doctor32]

Looks like wind veering to a ESE flow now from north yorkshire/teeside area?

Great news mine are looking so happy chilling out in the warmth -6 here

[GeordieX9v]

Big flash over ashington just now. Anyone else see?

[Building Blocks]

Here in Newcastle it’s been clear for a long period now. I’ve never seen so many lines of showers miss an area over the past 24hrs no matter what the wind direction it appears

How come things only happen when you're not filming! Couple flashes so got the camera out filmed for 5 minutes, nothing happened and now I've got a sore arm and half a gig worth of useless footage.

To all members in my area.  I apologise for being in the void...as I have found the culprit. 

No oven door left open. .....its dog farts super charged by the fire. 

At this rate reckon there might be a 3rd SSW...

Almost 2,000 people in the dark in DH9,NE61,NE65
