0.8 here and snowing quite moderately and lying quite well may well be the hors-d-oeuvre prior to whats to come next week.

[Andy_]

Heavy snow now Not even a hint of marginality today, brilliant stuff, it's sticking to everything!!

[Snowbogey]

A small amount of snow here overnight but cold and clear at the moment

[Backtrack]

All major operational models are now firming up on height rises to our west transferring to Scandi. Winter will soon make itself seen, and it'll enter in style.

Roaring Easterlies on the cards for the forseeable future, rubbish for us in the west, but all the fun & games take place in the east, so enjoy.

heavy snow in Sunderland

[frostbitten]

Not a flake here so far . Even if next weeks easterly does come off can't see us north-westerners seeing much if anything from it.

Is this country for real.....3cm and this http://www.bbc.co.uk...ngland-20605819

Here's hoping for some snow next week I am starting to get a tad excited now...

I am working in Middlesbrough today so looks like I might miss out on the showers :-(

I reckon you got a better chance of seeing snow in Boro looking at the radar mate

[pip22]

Some light snow falling here now.

[ScottSnow]

Just had a heavy snow shower here in Gateshead. Its still snowing now albeit lightly.

[Andy_]

That last shower dumped quite a lot, specifically on roofs, paths, cars etc. Still snowing lightly with the sun shining through the clouds

[4wd]

Quite dry and heavy snow falling - blowing in the wind too 0.3C

Cheers Vizzy, there is actually the odd flake blowing around here in the wind unless it's ash lol

Just spoke to my mother in Shields and she says it's lay up there like so fairly optimistic!

[Rollo]

Still snowing here,it has not stopped since I last posted, currently 0.3c. The main road to Carter Bar outside my house is well covered.

Now in York, bone dry!

Heavy snow shower when I left home, which only moved a couple of miles inland from us. Check out the webcam under the weather trends tab at http://www.eastyorkshire.co.uk/eddsfield/ and you can see less snow on the horizon towards the west.

Light dusting across the Wolds from yesterday evenings showers and the North York Moors look good, quite thick on the higher parts.

[SparkleS]

Thats what you get for living in the north west, Lancashire, clear blue skies and frosty, no snow!

[pip22]

cant wait tommorow going to be increasingly likely we going to get snow in the north west. fingers crossed.

[Andy_]

Quick photo i took, snow is starting to pick up again

[ScottSnow]

Absolutely chucking it down with snow in Gateshead. Heaviest shower yet.

[NL]

Here we go again.. It has turned really dark with fine graupel and snowflakes falling, pretty heavy too!!

Very heavy with 'blizzard-like' conditions

I must be one of the few people who doesn't find the prospects of an Easterly all that exciting, without any undercutting most places in the West won't be seeing much in the way of any snow.

[Snowmaggedon]

Absolutely nothing falling in Middlesbrough

[CPK East Durham Coast]

Heavy snow again in Sunderland... Surpised about Boro

Another one here

Then again, clear cold and frosty is a vast improvement on last winter - its a start. We need a cold NW feed as in 2009 and 2010. The good thing about those winters was the snow was at least shared round a bit. It looks like this time unless there is a change in wind direction the NW will be bone dry - as we are seeing today with all the posts of snow in the NE - we'd better get used to it.

Thing is though it isn't unusual when the wind comes from the lands across the pennines

Very light snow falling in Middlesbrough now
