Quite incredible stats there Tynevalleywinter! I have not recorded daily measurements so can't compare but given my lower altitude, temps will be higher here and max depth of snow was only 31cm. As has already been said, the remarkable thing with regard to this winter, in this neck of the woods, is the almost total absence of average never mind mild temps. I'd be surprised if this winter is matched for a long long time in this respect. Even in places like the northern US and Canada/Scandanavia, winter cold is usually interupted by periodic mild weather. Love the snow but wouldn't be unhappy to feel some warm sun on my skin soon!

She's got to be a he, and a very annoying one at that!

Temp 1.8 here but dew point must be way down as the odd snow flake is the dry powdery type. Lazy wind, doesn't go round you goes straight through you!!

Glad someone else has the same opinion as me after viewing the models!! We're currently in a cold spell, icy on a morning some snow showers at times, the possibility that more is to come next week. It's been a cracking winter and I would happily take this every year..it's the UK folks not Quebec!!

I live in the far Northeast of England and it's snowing here! Snowline looks to be approx 130mts asl where there's quite a thick fresh covering. One look at the radar from last night up till the current time tells you where the action is taking place. I'm repeating myself but regardless of pressure being high, as long as we have the drift off the North sea then chance's of showers/longer spells of rain/snow are good. Long way off but looking good for next week also. The winter cold here has been long and persistant and though I'll take all the snow we're sent I'm also looking forward to those first warm ray's of sun on my skin!!

Been at work through the night and on and off rain/hail/sleet/snow showers all night. No matter that pressure is high, as long as we have that drift off the North sea then we will always have a good chance of plenty of showers, no matter what the forecast may say!

Cold and grey, max 3.7C.

That's easy, the UKMO charts cover the coming week, the period referred to is for the end of this period onwards for another week or so. Currently the charts for next week point towards milder atlantic influenced air but beyond this I'm presuming indications are that we'll be drawing our air from a more continental source. All part of the ebb and flow of the weather.

Just had the first light snow shower, temp +1, here's hoping!

Grey with snow/ice grains at times. 1.9C.

Lunch time weather on BBC had it turning colder next week and by wednesday temperatures struggling to get above freezing point in what looked like an easterly flow...certainly different to the 06z GFS, lets hope the 12z comes on board.

Snowing like mad here now, fluffy stuff, temp -2.5 after a low of -8.9 and a bone chilling day.

I see it from all sides, I am part of the emergency services currently and have spent several recent night shifts working very hard helping folk in this extreme(UK) winter weather, today was the fun side, sledging /walking with my kids.

Dear me, some of us have waited decades for this to happen, someone needs to lighten up a touch!

In laymans terms, the North Sea can be an enormous rain/snow generator for my area. Can make large snowfall totals in winter with what I guess is what is known as 'lake effect' snow in North America. In summer heavy rain can fall with high presure very close by with other areas being warm and sunny! Annoying in the summer but fantastic at times like this. Another 8cms last night. It's a winter wonderland here.

From other reports it looks like my area did very well overnight, another heavy ssnow shower just finished and has topped the overnight fall up to 8cm, temp now -1.1.

It just gets better..another 6cm during the night and its currently -3.9!

Just back from a cold wet walk. After an overnight low of -2.6 by the time we headed out the door it was up to +2.1 and given what usually happens with a wind picking up off the sea and such high temps, plus reports of rain from others, I wasn't expecting the heavy snow which started falling within minutes and a freshening and gusty NE-E wind. It snowed hard the full hour we were out and made for unpleasant walking conditions! Temp on returning is +1 so not much additional accumulation but nice to see! Must be fantastic with a little bit of elevation.

Thinest of new coverings this morning..fell at 2am. Current temp -0.4.

Lol. 46 thanks, yourself? I spent the last 3 hrs of my shift assisting cars stuck in snow, I was driving across the whole of the east of the county and will repeat for you again..very heavy snow. Durham did not come to a stand still because of lack of grit/salt, it was because the snow fell so fast and heavy that traffic ground to a halt...I was out working in it and I assure you one more time, very heavy snow. From your comments your observations were from your window? Try driving along the A167 even now (salted and ploughed), still dangerous with thick snowcover which didn't occur during light to moderate snow. Enjoy your trip tomorrow.

PP, do me a favour and just be happy!! FOZI999, spot on, very intense snowfall. Just in from work and snow depth's around the county range between 10 and 20cm's. Durham city came to a standstill at one point, including the motorway and over the coast the A19. In the main band the snow was very heavy (not light to moderate) at Durham city, Chester-le-street, Murton area, with everything white with very poor visibility but beautiful...long time since I've seen it looking so wintry. PP I'm not sure what you are expecting at our location but current conditions are very unusual and extreme. Have you actually ventured out and enjoyed it?

Its been wall to wall sunshine here in the real north east England!

One heavy snow shower here, temp 0.0.

Continuous snow here.
