What are the chances of that snow in the north or Scotland getting to the North East later today?

I don't think we are forecast any snow for today or the foreseeable future are we?

There could be some snow showers that manages to cross the Pennines but i feel most of the time, it will be dry. The BBC shows some more general snow for North Yorkshire this afternoon but as ever, it's about watching the radar because as ever with snow, it may throw one or 2 surprises.

I live in Forest Hall and it always suprises me how cold it is compared with most of the area. I got in from a party this morning at 2.30am and it was -6.8c. Its still -2.5 now.

Anyway the snow last night was good (1"), but the radar built my hopes up a little as I was sure we would be getting 3" at least. Although there was a 10 minute period when the snow was the heaviest I had seen in years. I think we will be getting more snow before this spell comes to an end.

Despite its intensity last night's snow event was a bit of a disappointment for Cleadon- the reason is that I expected temperatures to start off marginal and drop off abruptly, as happened on 28 January 2004. In the actual event, they dropped only slowly and so most of the snow fell at 1C. As a result we have the same amount of snow cover as yesterday (5cm) but it is iced over.

Although distance from the coast was irrelevant in this setup, altitude was highly relevant. Cleadon is at only 40m, and I imagine that most places at altitudes of 100m and above will have had at least a few inches out of this.

The next few days look quite interesting. Sunshine and snow showers will be the main theme, and there is a favourable chance of some of those snow showers making it over the Pennines at times, though they will be hit and miss and are unlikely to be heavy. They will settle except during the warmest phase of the day at low levels (1-3pm).

Chances of a white Christmas still hang on a knife edge near the east coast but look very favourable inland. On Christmas Eve we are likely to see some more organised precipitation try to push in from the south, which is likely to fall as snow inland meaning a white Christmas for all affected areas, but it could well drag in an easterly which could raise temperatures at the coast to the wrong side of marginal. It is a long way out and subject to change at this stage, however.

Well I've not been in very long but pleased to see that the temperature dropped to -6.4ºc last night, and currently it is 0.3º under cloudy skies. I hope if we aren't getting any more snow that the sky clears!

Snow depth average is 7cm, but 10cm in other parts of town.

Just been up at Plessey Woods, that area, including Cramlington itself, only has 1-2 inches at best, whereas there is more like 3 here. My hunch is that whilst there was already an inch here before the snow fell there wasn't up there, as last night's event only dropped 2 inches of extra snow. It still looked very nice and festive though.

Top temperature at Cleadon- a whopping 0.3C! I can see snow showers dotted around to the west and north of here, yet there appears to be nothing on the radar which is interesting.

Edit: The importance of altitude in last night's event was illustrated by the fact that while there is 4-5cm lying on the ground in Cleadon itself, there's 7cm up on Cleadon Hills.

Certainly was evident yesterday as we drove down to B&Q near South Shields town centre a few metres above sea level (right next to the river tyne) as the ppn was heavy rain with a mix of sleet, as we drove back up towards Marsden it was falling as wet snow. The warm sector had more of an effect than i thought it would, even started to thaw the snow in the trees and off cars and roofs, but this soon froze as the warm(er) sector rushed through and temps plummeted.
