There is planned snow Wed night and all Thurs.

Knowing my school, they'll still have us in for our bloody mock GCSEs.
The heating doesn't work either... Perfect place for penguins, hell for humans.

Hopefully it snows tonight so i dont have to go to uni tommoz... haha

Alright for some snowing just makes getting to work a nightmare. Roads blocked up by incompetent drivers.

Is that just local or is it going to be spread about?
It seems Weardale, Teesdale and the Pennines have had some already.

Same as buses, some of them are like my old school classrooms, heating worked in the summer, air con in the winter...Was on an East Durham MPD in 2010 and it was colder on the bus than it was outside

Anybody else see a tiny bit of snow?!

A few flakes fell in Chester le Street around the time of your post 11.10 to 11.15 then the sun came out and cleared the heavy frost that occurred last night. I'm pleased the snow did stop as it gave me the opportunity to wait for some photos of 4901 on the back of the recovery truck.

According to fb - everyone and his dog.
Haven't seen a flake at all myself!

From strong winds to hailstone to thunder and lightning... Weather is skitzed.

I'm in Durham and the phrase 'drowned rat' springs to mind. Absolutely chucking it down.

It's confused as out, it doesn't know what to do

Down here in Peterlee, theres lighting, thunder, sleet

Sounded like bastard Hiroshima in my backstreet, scared the shite out of me

The Film Ted comes to mind

When you hear the sound of thunder,
dont you get too scared.
Just grab your thunder buddy,
and say these magic words:
Fuck you, Thunder. You can suck my dick.
You cant get me, Thunder, because youre just Gods farts

To minimise the chances of being drenched when heading out and about, "Netweather.TV" is a great website to use. This is simply because there is a live rainfall and lightning radar that updates every 10 - 15 minutes, so you will be able to know whether it will actually rain or not. It also includes detailed weather forecasts as well.

I use this website as the Met Office and BBC Weather is turning more and more inaccurate. For Example, they failed to point out a Thunderstorm last Thursday, but Netweather did.

I have the accuweather app.
Seems fairly decent and goes off the location settings from your phone.

We don't have a weather thread so i'll hoy it here: (Continuing from yesterdays wind)

And we're now under an amber wind warning until the morning. 

Red warning for rain in the nw.

And the wear in Durham was close to its banks at 9:30. Won't be surprised if that floodsas the water comes down.

They put out the warning for high sided vehicles not to cross about 5pm because gusts were already hitting 80mph and told people not to cross it at all for non-essential journeys. There's always numpties who ignore these warnings, though. (Even when the snow gates are down)

Despite signs saying that the A66 was closed to high sided vehicles, there was still some lorry's heading down the A66, on the opposite carriageway there was one off the road and had jack knifed on my way home from Blackpool this morning. Many of the fields in the Tebay and Kirkby Stephen area are flooded.

Appleby is also flooded, Sky News reported on it....

Looks like this wind might be here for a while.

eeeee Michael.....NEB's very own weather forecaster

Thanks Citaro,

Well it's completely closed now

Flood warnings for hurworth and croft. Pics circulating of water almost up to the top of the arches of the bridge at croft, interspersed with the floating sofa in Appleby.

And prebeNds bridge in Durham is now closed due to flooding.

On a Gemini x12. Sitting downstairs. You couldn't pay me to sit upstairs today.

The blinds in the cafe of the boro house of Fraser were flapping wildly as it still has the old metal windowfrsmes.

Big'un has the captain's seat behind the door.

Little'un is at home, probably driving his dad up the wall. The wind has sent him wild.

When I went to Morpeth a couple of days ago the river was quite high, I'd hate to see it now. The defences have probably stopped another devastating flood in the town.

I do hope they've worked. Some in Cumbria have failed

Bbc seems to have the best updates for the whole region. Ive been glued to my news & weather list on twitter.
