Here is a thread for those of us lucky enough to live in Cumbria, Northumberland, and those in Tyne and Wear and County Durham too.

Great Asby Weather

Air frosts since the autumn - forty six

Lowest temperature: -8.6º

Days with snow falling: nineteen


All views I express are either my own or someone else's, which I've copied because I think they might make me sound intelligent, but definitely not Paul's or Netweather's.

Wet start to the day in G/Asby, here 15.6mm so far. Just 1mm in the desert like Newton Aycliffe further East.

Love your intro's to the other regional threads.

Poor buggers not living here!

26.4mm and rising fast. My driveway is standing water, which is impressive seeing as it's gravel on limestone!

Its going to be slippy underfoot the next few days with all this surface water going to freezing and some more snow.

When's the wind going to be at its strongest? Got school plays this afternoon and evening!

Do you think we're in line for snow? I thought being fairly central we might both miss out?

Strongest for you between 6-8pm, but it'll be gusty all day, wind gusts around 50-65mph until some 80mph gusts late on. No snow for you, maybe above 200m tonight... should be gusty and wet though. Tomorrow however winds lighten and snow is likely.
Hoping for a future in meteorology!

Perhaps a few cm's from a weak from moving South tonight, being further West you should see more than here.

I think ice will be the greater harzard esp for the eldery and infirm.

Brilliant - just when the concerts are and everyone's on the road! I have warned the headteacher, but she's not got back to me.

Pretty wet outside, hills are streaked with white and lots of standing water. Still plenty of snow on the hills, should freeze up nicely tonight, giving a good base for future snow. There's also still patches in the back garden. Temperature dropping, now at 6.9c. Not that windy here yet...

All pretty calm here... I thought this was meant to be the worst time? Winds are light, much less than earlier on.

Is it due to fire up later?... confused!
