Miserable day here, sooner this rain clears away the better. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Still raining here, looks like I'm on the wrong side of marginal today. Can't complain after the recent snow I've had though. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

There's hope for this one yet! Come on the snow 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Slushy covering here but seems to be raining now, a bit disappointing. Hoping it turns back to snow as the cold air digs in but not holding my breath

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Moderate snow here, everything white again wahoo

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Turning to snow here

Interestingly met office have another snow event on Saturday which looks less marginal than this one. 

 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Sleet here, feels like it's on the turn. Met office forecast reckons it will turn to snow shortly with a good few hours of all snow from midnight... We shall see

 

 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Ice pellets/rain in durham. Hoping for a covering tonight. Looking like the snow should start later on this evening. Met office forecast is still promising.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Consett will get about a foot of snow out of this I reckon

Doesn't it only show 2-4cm

I suspect you will get a cracking fall out of this in your location/elevation. Snow totals by Friday morning. If this is correct you will be buried.

That’s bound to be right it shows rain in Redcar

Durham could be in the sweet spot again for this, obviously the more height you have the better.

Dump alert 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

We've been luck in durham, stuck under a streamer for a good few hours. Roads are carnage 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Brilliant this is. It's still coming down

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Still coming down heavily in durham, this is fab 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Good few inches in durham and still snowing nicely, lovely stuff.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

HEAVY SNOW  wahoo

I got to admit I thought it would be a bit more wintry at lower levels in the NE, so frustrating, uppers of - 5 and light winds yet its still falling as rain it seems on the webcams. 

The comparison between Gateshead Town centre and the QE hospital could not be more different. I do hope the freezing level does come down a little bit, uppers are forecast to go colder but only a little bit. 

Yes uppers are dropping through the night so still hope that most of us will get a good covering. 0600 looks prime time for heavy precipitation and colder uppers. 

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Turning to sleety rain here. Things should be less marginal with the next band I think.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Settling nicely at 100m durham. Road is white again.

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

Light snow just started up in durham

Probably the second band.Either way looks like a wintry scene for many parts of the region tomorrow morning.

 

 

This looks fab

[Far north and northeast of England weather discussion]

I know the bbc app is pretty poor but if this is right we could get a decent fall overnight.

Really? I have a feeling a lot of us will have a slushy mess. Just can’t see the uppers being cold enough. Hope I’m wrong, 

It could be marginal at the coast. Certainly looks like a lot of sleet/rain in north northumberland near the coast on the latest radar.

An advantage is it's falling at night so should be a little colder
