  1. Looking at the radar these showers in north sea may hit landfall soon and they are moving in a straight line N-S. Could this be a streamer for Sunderland area and produce some snow. That is the question.
  2. See if anyone can establish why ive posted this chart ... Regards SM06
  3. I think everyone who had a guess at snow amounts got this one wrong... I think even the metoffice did. Highly dissapointed with far less snow cover than yesterday!! Massive thaw underway!!
  4. Just saw the biggest snowflake land on my skyline !! It was MAHOOSIVE!!!
  5. Moderate graupel in Newcastle, Jesmond. More promising than those in the south of the region so far i guess...
  6. People should be aware the precipitation isn't forecast to arrive in the north east until the early hours of the morning, probably another 8-10 hours away id imagine...
  7. I dont understand why people are so down beat... We have had a prolonged cold spell, with quite frankly a very decent amount of Snow. People hoping for weeks and weeks of snow quite frankly are living in La-La land and should probably consider a move to Scandinavia. Im very impressed with this cold spell, most people in the region have had a very decent covering of snow for the past week. Tomorrow is looking very good in my eyes... Yes we may see sleet / rain at times, it may be snow but people calling it a non-event are quite frankly delusional. Just because the Metoffice hasnt issued an amber warning for the entire north east doesn't neccesarily mean impending doom. There is a "BE AWARE" warning out with 5cm expected widely across the region. It could be much worse, we could have a mobile atlantic regime with no snow prospects, atleast we are in with a decent shout of snow, especially during the AM period. Spare a thought for those in the North West who have had very little snow and the prospects of them seeing any remains very poor for the foreseaable future. Remember weather warnings are issued where there is a significant risk to affecting the lives of the people inwhich it covers. Obviously in the more densely populated south there is going to be a higher risk to disruption of day to day life, they don't often get snow. Whereas here in the north we are more used to it and deal with it better therefore the impact to life is probably considered less for the same amount of snow in comparison to southern areas. I for one am optimistic of some surprisingly high falls, i have looked at the NAE precipitation forecasts and compiled this map which i think will reflect snowfall by 6pm tomorrow ... I for one am excited for tomorrow and expecting we can achieve these totals!
  8. Snow showers inbound for Tyne and wear... ALOT of them!! Batten down the hatches :~p SM06
  9. Tends to be dying out before it hits you, i wouldnt expect too much in darlo tonight, mind you im not expecting much anywhere really, since there is nothing sustained forecast (for more than an hour or so) and with this wet ground its near impossible for the snow to settle. Some nice beefy showers already starting to form out at sea though!! Who knows we could have a nice covering in the morning, nothing significant im afarid though IMO. Expect very icy pavements tomorrow!!
  10. Or metoffice one... http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observations/#?tab=map&map=Rainfall&fcTime=1358147493&zoom=9&lon=-1.05&lat=55.01 very good for a free one
  11. The front has now just about stalled and is going to move slightly due south before the winds pull round to the east forcing it back onto the eastern coast.... id expect it to maybe be back in the newcastle area for around 4-430pm ..... The majority of the region can take a look up at the clouds now.... they are currently moving due south now, as opposed to the west-east that was observed early, keep looking for them turning east-west!!
  12. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/observations/#?tab=map&map=Rainfall&fcTime=1358119923&zoom=9&lon=-1.66&lat=54.94 The metoffice new radar only has us just over half way through the highest intensity here in Newcastle. The projections to seem for the front to head out to sea, by maybe 1pm then head back in just after 3pm. Thats my take on things anyway.
  13. I think the front will hang around for most of the day, projections by the GFS and UKMO send the front just off the coast before sending it back inland, before dissipating as the low to our south pulls away. Even at 9pm this eve we should still be seeing some snowfall, then its a case of sunshine and snow showers i feel tomorrow! I think we have to potential to atleast get 5cm out of this. Lets face it, some of us werent even convinced we'd even get snow to begin with, especially after the dissapointment of last nights weather front. So i for one am rather please to see moderate snow falling outside my window in jesmond right now.
