[Isolated Frost]

Just went out, it's amazing out there, I haven't experienced anything like it... Watching it from afar is totally different!

Ice everywhere and crystals and flakes everywhere, beautiful, but oh so dangerous.

[Snowstorm1]

Teesside should have a couple more hours of snow yet.

Brilliant so far I have a covering but not any depth to it yet it is a little patchy too

Moderate proper snow here now,still with a strong breeze.

[Freezing-Point]

Some more intense ppn about to hit Newcastle shortly. Still has not turned to proper snow here, mostly ice. My front door is covered in thick ice.

[Alex95]

Best snow we've had all day - huge flakes, rapidly increasing the depth. 2cm so far, hopefully I can squeeze one more out of this!

Really?? Very heavy snow burst here, 1cm in 10 mins.

2.5cm... Amazingly heavy!

[seabreeze86]

light covering here but coming down nicely looks like we could be in for a couple more hours of snow going by the radar

[Mick ne durham]

Heavy full on Snow in Washington after 3 hours of freezing rain and hail.

[Alex95]

Eased off to ice pellets. Oh well it's enough to look quite nice now!

[Freezing-Point]

Moderate to heavy snow now but very small flakes. Ground starting to turn white

[NickR]

Looks like the heavy stuff is to out north... pretty poor here in Durham. At best a covering where it hasn't been blown away. Grass still visible. SO much for the models - they had us under ppn for another 3 hours at least! Be lucky to get 45 mins more... what went wrong?

Front didn't stall, upper mild sector caused the ice pellets.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Good luck for today guys. I'm sure you'll all see something... but not OON. Everyone except OON will see some snow.

You're right....except for the snow which prevented me, in my 4x4 and winter tyres, from getting out of the village to go to Kendal tonight. Well, I could have got there, but it would have been silly, and it's still snowing now....just.....and below freezing.....just.

Ironically the ice pellets helped the covering for me :') how long i got left?

[Osbourne One-Nil]

It'll do.

[lizmartin1981]

It'll do.

Ah I'm jealous

[Geordiesnow]

At least we got a covering of some sort albeit mostly ice pellets, we were so close to have this full of snow, uppers needed to be just a touch colder.

Intensity has gone up again and there is quite a bit more snowflakes now mixed in, lets hope we can edge out another 20-30 mins of this and that will do me.

[Freezing-Point]

Well I am off out in the clio which will handle these conditions no problem with its new 175 winter tyres.

[Alex95]

One last burst of heavy snow as I can see some clear skies to my NW. Should last another 10-15 mins here, to around 2-2.5 hours in Teesside.

not bad id take it lasting till 9 to get some depth to it such a shame this didnt arrive later as it could have been mega event

[gazzac69]

all in all, it has been an unusual day, disappointed with the amount of snow considering the meto warnings, however can't remember ever seeing everything outside coated in ice including small icicles on trees

light snow still falling here in Westmoor.just noticed need to change my location

Edited February 4, 2012 by gazzac69

[NickR]

Any snow possibilites for the coming days/week in the models?

[Andy_]

Brilliant this, near blizzard conditions, surfaces covered in snow and layer of frozen water from the freezing rain, icicles have formed... WOW!

[paul tall]

Snowing moderately here, looks to be about 7 or 8cm with lots of drifting

[Isolated Frost]

Quite an event in Newton Aycliffe then!

Just the 1cm still here, covering on all surfaces. Ice everywhere.

Really? From 1cm level here to 8 cms a few miles away? Radar didn't suggest that.
