Far north and northeast of England weather discussion

[4wd]

It seems to be fizzling out rather sooner than they predicted, we have a couple of inches it was quite blizzardy an hour ago and caught a lot out going to work etc by the sound of it.

still moderate snow falling here - was expecting rain 

 

[Cloud 10]

Nearly 3 inches lying now,and still coming down.

[NickR]

After a good 24-36 hours on Sun/Mon, the 06z is poor - rain comes in shortly after and it's all washed away. Hm.

[gazzac69]

 06 GFS P looks better than GFS for mon onwards so far, better than 00 runs, interesting model watching at the mo still very hopeful of proper laying snow this weekend into monday fingers crossed

You give such a positive vibe Nick.

Models are all over the place and changing every six hours, don't throw the toys out of the pram after the one run, look for trends and the trend is for very cold then sustained cold through February, yes maybe one or two milder blips but then back to cold.

Oh and don't always count on the ppn going elsewhere, again this will chop and change very quickly.

So lets hope the misery effort it tried today was the salt on the starter and we actually have some fun and games to look forward to. I mean it don't have to last weeks just one week is fine and then some nice warm weather will be lovely

Don't you dare say that NES, haha, we have been watching all around us getting hammered for what seems like a month, we now want a month of it.

Kick spring into March and I will look forward to it as much as you.

I was trying a bit of reverse psychology seen as everything else I've been saying has happened ha, Ok i agree lets settle for March, Bring on the snow for the whole of Feb.

Was always going to turn to rain though and with the snow melt ( that foot we had this morning lol ) and heavy rain tonight the worry is for flooding.

Don't worry the proper snow is coming.

Yeah it’s just quite amusing considering how unlucky we have been! 

This Easterly better deliver or I’m moving to the North Pole for my snow fix.

[Cloud 10]

Still snowing, although pretty wet snow now. Bet it’ll be drifting up from me in Consett as wind has picked up!

[Bridgeport Harrison]

Still snowing here but my Met Office app says heavy rain 

[damianslaw]

Could be a fair bit of snow in the NE Saturday and more especially Sunday. Fingers crossed it makes it to this side of the Pennines, as I expect it to be of the more fine powdery type and unlike today will freeze instantly and hold.

[John in the frozen north]

So in Hexham (up the hill a bit 140m) we ended up with 3-4 cm of snow probably less in the town centre.. Only 1 degree now but a bit of drizzle. 

[Phil Blake]

Driving back from work and it's still quite white in Durham. There's literally a line on the a167 at the waldridge roundabout. Snow one side. Green other side. Chester le street is very green and very wet. Winter is over according to the southern thread following every gfs run.

Even on the "bad" GFS runs we get plenty more snow this weekend. 

[Snowmaggedon]

How’s it looking for us this weekend and beyond? 

[gazzac69]

still looks good for this weekend into next week for our region acc. to 12pm models, so far as I can see 

morning slush gone, but had bits of snow then sleet & now rain so far today

There has been so many twists and turns trying to get this easterly in place it really is hard to tell the end result. I would say it is 50/50, all hopefully will be much clearer by tomorrow evening.

Blimey Rollo you're been a bit cautious, I would go for 80% chance of a decent spell for at least  late sat/sun/mon
