I'm in Washington and the main roads here are covered with snow, so I can imagine there will be a few accidents by rush hour tonight. The snow doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.

[paul tall]

Started snowing just after 10am, 3cm down already, its a winter wonderland. Roads mostly ungritted and treacherous. Wasn't expecting this!

Temp 0.6º, dew point -3.6º, so hopefully a few more hours snow yet.

Great to here that you guys, to the NorthEast of me, are doing well.

Nigel, are you pleased about this mate, or is it going to make it difficult to do your job today?

X 2....I am also in Washington and roads are covered with snow, still more coming down. But looking at the radar I would say it will stop by 1-1.30pm.

Good afternoon all,

WhenI went to bed last night, I was under the impression that there was a band of rain moving in from the west that may bring a bit of patchy light sleet or snow before turning to rain. Now I have woken up to light snow with the odd decent size flake in and a weather warning from the met of possible heavy snow for most of the day. What changed and when?

Regards

Craig

[Thunder Snow]

Well does anyone know what the crack is with the radar then.

pretty much the same here and I thought it was coming this evening? Shows how much notice I take.

These type of snowfalls are the best. Unfortunately I've been out at work all morning and have to go out again in a bit.

HUH, moderate snow here for past hour and a half, slight covering and starting to get heavier, i checked bbc yesterday and there was no forecast of this, anyone know if this will turn bk to rain as there is plenty more precip heading my way

[Hagler]

Anybody know what its like in Consett? I'm in Byker at the moment and toying with the idea of heading home shortly.

Also how long is this band of precipitation likely to be over us for?

Sorry to here that Nige, I hope you feel better soon mate

We've got to get out later to see to the horses, but if it continues to fall as it is, it may be difficult. It's not the roads themselves that are

the problem, it's because I live down a narrow farm track, and my car is dreadful in the snow.

ps lucky you with the snow

[Jeremy Shockey]

thick snow here now .....near Beverley

[paul tall]

Still snowing moderately, but smaller flakes.

We could do with an hour of heavy snow with big flakes to "finish the job off" so to speak.

Still 0.6º, dew point slowly rising -3.1º

Off back out for a couple of hours.

Hi, im sitting here in consett in my car and its still coming down quite heavy with at least an inch of new snow probably more. Our courier is coming early apparently the roads are slippery.

Still snowing in Aycliffe, wish I could get out of work and take some snaps, it looks amazing out there

Road are very bad however, just been out on them, snow is settled on most, even the main road through Aycliffe now, very slippy conditions, getting dangerous out there.

[grab my graupel]

The snow is certainly laying quickly; there must be a good couple of cm's already.

This means that we've have had lying snow here for ten days now

[stormchaser1]

its been 3 hrs exactly since it started snowing, and its still coming down
