Quite disappointing with the shower activity here but i predicted the North to do better.

Are we due more showers through the morning as it looks very quiet at the moment. 

[Summer Sun]

No more snow in sight for Darlo at the moment I've put up a rough arrow of the direction they're moving

According to BBC weather, the main activity is going to be concentrated down your way.  However.  The only thing I believe is the radar.

Just look as those streamers forming

This afternoon/evening we should see the most but even Saturday you wouldn’t rule showers out

I know mainly for the north of the region at the moment (missing me) but nice to see some this morning.  NS looks quiet for Wearside and Durham once these pass through but as we know the NS can easily spark more showers.  Dropped another 1+cm in that lat shower so happy.  Now to get some work done!

 

Is the wind direction supposed to change again?

 

Blue skies beginning to show now @Summer Sun - you can stop the sun-dance now it's worked lol

The wind is changing gradually to a Northerly - So the showers will hit just down the costal strip later

So how will Boro and the south of the region do in that?  I didn't think they did well in a Northerly?  I can do well in one but prefer NE / E

Looking at XC Weather I can't see a northerly wind direction setting up?  The winds which steer the showers onto land remains E/NE erly throughout today.

Winds turn more of a northerly through the night tonight as the high pushes in from west. 

Currently situation here is DRIP DRIP lol.

Gap between the to bands of showers will decrease, the area of showers over yorkshire and out in the north sea are slowly building and will eventually reach more southern parts of the region later.

I’m hinging my hopes on a covering by morning. An inch would be lovely

We just need the sun to go down asap and the showers to be better than last night and we might be in with a chance lol. 

I don't class it as a good snow day if i can still see grass 

[doctor32]

[P-M]

Well did a bit work and then checked the radar and as Doctor says showers pepping up nicely again.  May take an hour or so to reach us on the east coast but still lots to play for.  Strange as it's not really melting here either - still a good couple CM down and remained that way for now.

 

Edit: can see a fair number of radar returns are showing sleet but as is the case in these setups nowcasting is needed to confirm the conditions on the ground.

i would rather the showers stay away till later its starting to get Marginal now, temp 1.5c dp -0.1c

[Hooala]

Set off to drive to Bamburgh this morning from Newcastle decided to turn round at Stannington as conditions were not good - heavy snow and almost down to one lane - spoke to my friend who I was meant to meet who was driving back to Durham said between Beadnell and A1 number of cars in ditch, and A1 from Ellingham down to Felton was down to one lane where dual carriageway. Good covering in Newcastle but showers seem to be passing to the north at the moment

[Summer Sun]

Temp rising quite quickly at the moment with some sunny interludes

Met office forecasting a high of 3c from today to Sunday

Yes a thaw starting here now.

Hopefully tonight we get more snow showers than last night.

[P-M]

Spoke too soon...drip...drip...drip....

 

Going to take a few hours off the radar and weather until this afternoon, looks good for later perhaps.

[Freezing-Point]

Morpeth already had 2" from last night and has been under a streamer for a while.  Still under it.   That area of Northumberland seems to be a sweet spot for streamers.  In March last year they got one and had 3 times snow depth of me and in 2010 they had over 2ft of snow just north of Morpeth due to streamers.

[Summer Sun]

Snow and ice warning issued for Northumberland only

Between 00:00 Mon 4th and 14:00 Mon 4th

Snow and Ice will affect the Monday morning commute across parts of Scotland.

What to expect

• Some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services
• Some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces
• Probably some ice on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths

Further details

A band of rain will readily turn to snow as it pushes east across parts of Scotland and northern England. Temporary accumulations of a few cms are likely at low levels, with higher ground (above about 150 metres) possibly seeing 3-6 cm, locally more. Ice will be an additional hazard. Snow should become lighter and more patchy before dying out by early Monday afternoon.
