As the low heads southwards down the Easr Coast there will be an easterly flow on its Northern flank which should help the PPN to come back inland again, although as I said before, with increased of things being marginal at lower levels due to the flow off the North Sea. The front should clear by around dawn and for a short while, we should see some snow showers as the air should be cold enough by then for snowfall even to lower levels and also the fact the flow will be even weaker before it gets cut off by the end of the day.

[Summer Sun]

1.8°C now with a dew point of 0.3°C

[Emma Jayne Agar]

Seems to be starting again, I hope so I have one very excited little girl x

[tynevalleysnow]

The met office must think it will come back inland because they have updated my local forecast to have light-heavy snow from 6 tonight till 6am tomorrow.

[Andy_]

Can see the low on xc weather now roughly centred around Boulmer

[Summer Sun]

Durham Tees Valley Airport is currently closed due to snow until 2.40pm today.

Newcastle International Airport is presently running as normal

[Hagler]

I'm currently in Byker there's hardly a sniff of snow here it must have melted as quick as it came down.

[Andy_]

There's a bit of a thaw going on now, roofs are looking less white and there's plenty of dripping!

[recklessabandon]

Watch the rainfall radars between Northumberland and Aberdeenshire, you can clearly see the rotation now, and, PPN developing off the 'back edge' and rotating southwards and westwards....

[Boro Snow]

yep its defo starting to thaw to be honest it hasnt felt that cold today so i expected it, i think tommorrow will be better

[Summer Sun]

Temperature is upto 2.0°C with a DP of 0.5°C

[Isolated Frost]

Thawing now, curl back!

[Continental Climate]

its a bit of a slushy mess out there although if we can get a covering should freeze nicely tonite and the rest of the week looks colder so it should stick for a few days thats all im bothered about

[Rollo]

Thawing here as well with the teperature at 2.0c I reckon there will not be a lot left to freeze later on, as to more snow later, I think it might be a long wait.

[Emma Jayne Agar]

I have decided that this weather doesn't really know what it wants to do.

One minute its stopped, then its sleet, then snow.

Will just have to wait and see I guess.

[Summer Sun]

The temperature is starting to fall now back down to 1.9°C with a dew point of 0.3°C down from a high of 0.5°C

[SNOW-MAN2006]

The front has now just about stalled and is going to move slightly due south before the winds pull round to the east forcing it back onto the eastern coast.... id expect it to maybe be back in the newcastle area for around 4-430pm .....

The majority of the region can take a look up at the clouds now.... they are currently moving due south now, as opposed to the west-east that was observed early, keep looking for them turning east-west!!

[doggy123]

The north east has now been taken out of the amber warning zone, was fun while it lasted nearly all melted now! Not expecting much for tonight
