Another lovely spring day hazy sunshine temp 10.3C Light/mod east wind Great spell of weather here, still had patches snow on the ground this time last year. Mark Teesdale,Co Durham

Temps were very close to winter 2000/01 but that winter had greater snowfall than 2008/09 in this part of the NE. Feb 2001 had higher days of snowfall and greater fresh fall depth, if not as many days snow lying. Max depth of snow comparable with as recent as 2005/6. Cold of early Feb was probably the most note worthy feature, nearly a week below freezing. I agree the winter being more notable for the South esp SW. Only during a couple of hours on the Feb 2nd would I thought the wintry weather was severe but nothing that bad. Perhaps spring being mild, dry and sunny in this area have made the winter appear shorter than comparable 'winters'. Mark Teesdale,Co Durham

Much more pleasant from mid afternoon onwards, wind decreasing along with shrs. Odd sunny spell. Current temp 7.7C Mark Teesdale,Co Durham

Fresh/ strong westerly wind gusty at times, shrs. Temp 5.8C. Mark Teesdale,Co Durham

Could been several occasion during winter 1978/79 perhaps around the 17th Feb ? 1978/79 was snowier in terms of days of lying snow than either 1947/1963 in some parts of the country esp higher ground away from the SE/Midlands. Mark Teesdale,Co Durham

Expectionally mild today around here for mid March, nearby Meto station recorded warmest March day for 11 years at 15.9C. Mark Teesdale,Co Durham
