Far north and northeast of England weather discussion

[MonkeyMag]

To be fair the Meto warning did state that for most it would start out as freezing rain and change to snow so here’s hoping. Been disappointing to date down on the east coast 

[doctor32]

Still heavy rain with icy bits mixed in.

 

Just looked at road cameras for places 300m plus and no real sign of snow.

 

Temp is dropping here, 1.2°c now

[NorthEastSnow]

Rain rain and more rain, not disappointed as expected it tbh. Would take some snow now to settle anyway. 

[Cloud 10]

Turning sleety here now.

[Pazza10]

Just started raining in Morpeth. 

[North East Blizzard]

Definitely turning sleety here now, noticeable change in the last few minutes

[doctor32]

Lots of ice pellets falling amongst the rain.

 

Rather heavy and giving a coating of ice on the ground.

Temperature slowly falling 1°c now

[BornFromTheVoid]

Just rain in Toon for now.

[NorthEastSnow]

Yea same here. Little pellets and creating a layer of them on the ground could this be the start.

[Phil Blake]

Looks sleety in the lampost. Temp has dropped so hopefully we will be getting there soon

[doctor32]

Yes, turning more sleety here.

 

90m asl

 

 

[NorthEastSnow]

A few flakes beginning to appear in amongst the rain

Hey just looked out at my lamp post & there are some dollops of sleet amongst the rain, I've got a feeling we may get lucky tonight at lower levels, there is no wind, temp/dew points look pretty low - bring it on

[northumberland snowman]

Sleet here, feels like it's on the turn. Met office forecast reckons it will turn to snow shortly with a good few hours of all snow from midnight... We shall see

As long as winds remain off shore there is every chance, might have to be patient though and it all depends how much PPN there is when the cold air properly undercuts.

That one looks better to me but it can all change. Also the met office outlook video posted on Twitter should wet some appetite is right.
 

things looking good outside now these little pellets putting down the base layer lol.

Meant to be heavy snow here according to the MO app, but light ice in the rain.  Starting to make patches in the road tho.

[Chris.]

Bit like a frozen sleet.  Crunchy underfoot.  just nipped to garage

[Continental Climate]

Cold rain so far in darlo 

[Mick Ormiston]

My final lookout the window and it's doing nothing. Time for a bit snooze so I can stay awake and watch the snowfall later tonight.

[snowmackem]

Still just fairly heavy rain here in Ryton. Expecting it to turn quite quickly at some point, seen it all before, heavy rain, watch telly for an hour, check the lamp post again to see everything turned white. Dew points and air temp combination, with some evaporative cooling can combine in a very short space of time to turn things snowy. Bring it on!!

Dew points and temperature in Livingston are higher than here though, wouldn't worry too much about that.
