We are in for a hammering if the charts that are on show at the moment come off.

Light snow here and another flash in the sky. Another couple of days of radar watching I think.

Geordiekev have we not been in the last 24 hours, do you think this will kick off convection again?

Some pics from Hepscott, just outside Morpeth.  This is the worst this road has been since 1947.  And thats saying something. 

 

 The road is still blocked at one end.  JCB has been working all day.   When I left the showers started again and so did the drifting.

Coming up from North Tyneside I noticed that once past Cramlington there was a marked change in the snow depth.  Amazing the difference 7 miles can make

 

The pic below of me standing on a drift.  Its about 8ft high.  That is the hedge you can see sticking up in the background

I have been taking note of the radar today.  Most times you will see ppn to the North ppn to the South of the area I have circled.  Its strange, but is what has been happening since Tuesday.  Keep an eye on it, its uncanny.

I'm caught... that's some great advice and info about awesome drifts around Amble kind of area/distance... but I won't lie, from here in Durham it can be a pain getting there... whereas the Dales are easy to get to. Don't want to make the trip up there to find it's nothing as good as you guys have shown/described in Northumberland though.

My mates from Rothbury and showed me photos and video from around there and the drifts are pretty impressive.. The A1 is open as he's just drove down earlier and said most roads are now passable.. Providing we dont get hammered tonight:rofl: I think going North would guarantee you will see a better show than the Dales..

The odd slightly heavier shower here at the moment.

 

It would be ironic if convection kicked off again now the warnings have been removed.

I remember that happening many times in the past.  Normally from a N'ly / NE'ly when the flow gets slack and there is high pressure close to the north.  Unexpected slow moving heavy showers can develop when not forecast.

I cant see it happening with the current set up though

The lightest of snow here, giving a smattering. Surprised precipitation has made it this far from the east. Tomorrow looks another bleak day with snow in the air, perhaps a cm or two for some.

For me I also love other aspects to this cold. This is how my icicle farm is coming along.

Now just need to work out how to switch them on and pretend it's Xmas not spring. ?
