Has turned to a very heavy 'wintry' (sleet) shower with gusting winds. I would expect it would of been snow a little higher up.

Sleeting here. It was raining before so hopefully it will turn to snow.

Nothing here, although I have just got up I presume from the dry ground outside that there has been no precipitation.

Same here.

There are reports of snow near Folkestone.

Still snowing. It has been snowing on and off all day although it was heaviest this morning when there was a partial cover.

Snowing lightly in Newton Aycliffe Co. Durham.

Been up the North York Moors today. In places there was a decent covering. Heavy snow when I left Newton Aycliffe this morning.

Short snow shower around about 7.15pm.

Had a few snow showers yesterday which left a slight covering. It has frozen over now and is very slippy. I would say it is the most wintry scene I have seen this winter, which says it all really. Paul Tall- My Grandparents live fairly close to you (Woodham) and reported about an inch of snow.

Had a moderate snow shower here at about 3.30pm which has left a slight covering.

Had a heavy snow shower at about 3pm yesterday which lasted about 20mins.

Which has now turned to snow. Could be in for an interesting night. I think it could also be the first snow I have seen in my location this winter.

Hail shower which soon turned to rain here in Gateshead.

No snow in Tyne and Wear but at my Grandma's house in Newton Aycliffe there is a light covering, so I am enjoying a white christmas.

Snowing lightly in Gateshead now although it is not settling. I was passing through Consett earlier ( foothills of north pennines ) and there was a covering of around 2-3cm there. The pennines looked very snowy.

A thin layer of wet snow in places. Frequent showers of rain, hail, sleet and snow.

Lovely day here in Newcastle. Cold and crisp. I was hoping for snow as this area usually does quite well but unfortunately this time it looks like we've missed out.

My Grandma went to Edinburgh last week and reported sleet/snow showers while crossing the border.

Its currently snowing on the top of Cairngorm

I have lots of memories of snow both here and abroad. I regularly go skiing and see depths of level snow up to 1 metre yearly. Last year for example I witnessed a snowfall of 2ft in the Alps and in 2003 saw 3-4ft fall in 36hrs in Colorado. But snowfall in Britain always seems that bit more special. I used to travel to Scotland skiing in 90's and saw some remarkable depths of snow there. I can remember travelling through walls of snow 12ft deep on the way up to Cairngorm mountain. A lot of people in the south don't appreciate just how much snow Scotland gets some winters - the last probably being 2001. Here in the north east we don't seem to have been affected as much as most areas in terms of snow. Last year there was probably 9-10 days snowcover here, in february it snowed to around 1ft and in January there was around 4-5 inches. I don't have to go too far back to remember a decent fall. Feb 1991 was probably my earliest memory of snow. I can recall the backyard being full of snow and my Dad having to clear it. I can also recall the snow sliding of the roofs like in the Alps when the thaw set in. I am hoping to have some better memories after this winter.

Light snow in Gateshead (Newcastle). It has been on and off for the past hour.

Snow's just stopped suddenly!!!

Getting heavier. Is this the third band? Very long shower which hasn't showed up on the radar in terms of intensity and duration.

Fairly heavy snow here in Newcastle now. Drifting in strong winds.
