Far north and northeast of England weather discussion

[Hooala]

Snow started about 11 in Newcastle, still snowing but coming down slowly, about 1/2 inch on ground

[Phil Blake]

A good covering but seems like it's turned back to rain. Quite disappointed to be honest

it looks like it could be turning to rain in Whickham now too, but we have a couple of inches on the ground currently.

A nice covering of snow this morning around 2-3cm

Still snowing, but very light.

[Phil Blake]

Dew point currently 0. Temp 0. 850hpa -2 and will start dropping in the next hour or 2. Chances it could turn back to snow through the morning as the colder air cuts back in? Dew points don't look like they will rise looking at the recent arpege but who knows. Consett i would have imagined have done well and will see more snow through the morning

Just been out to animals and had about 8 inches here overnight and still snowing quite heavy 7/10

[gazzac69]

about an inch of slush here this morning after overnight snow, its raining here now

[Snowmaggedon]

Epic fail. 

[NickR]

I'm afraid I was right - really disappointing considering what some models had been showing in recent days. Hours of snow, but light and small accumulations. Southern Pennines/Sheffield area looks to have got the heavy stuff. :::sigh:::

[Bridgeport Harrison]

Nice covering in Stanley

[doctor32]

So varied across the region this morning.

3 pictures below.

1st my location, 2nd Stanley, 3rd Newfeild/Pelton

Moderate snow falling here at the moment.

Speaking to people at work it seems that as little as 20-30 metres height difference has meant snow or rain in places. Hexham is snowy until you get closer to the river.

Slushy covering here but seems to be raining now, a bit disappointing. Hoping it turns back to snow as the cold air digs in but not holding my breath

[BornFromTheVoid]

Slushy snow out at the moment here (Spital Tongues). Sleet is turning increasingly snowy again though

[Phil Blake]

Rain has turned more sleety again in the last hour

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Snowing here and settling readily. 0.4c with a dew point of 0.0c. 

[northumberland snowman]

There's hope for this one yet! Come on the snow 

[Snowmaggedon]

Rain, rain, rain...

Only had one decent snowfall this winter was expecting better given the excitement in the MOD thread this winter. 

[doctor32]

Latest radar picks up the areas seeing snow nicely...

 

 

[Phil Blake]

More flakes appearing now

Definitely better further south. Could be they get the event we all looked set for a few days ago.

[ScottSnow]

Decent covering here in Gateshead but very wet. Still we have had more snow so far this winter than the last two combined!

Yeah this is just south of us and it looks like they have more snow. Expected more than this !

[Mick Ormiston]

About. 6inches here and over a foot in some of the drifting snow

I was on Nightshift at Egger in Hexham and there was nothing by the river all the way to stocksfield. Then up the hill in Prudhoe there was 2 inches.
