An amber warning is still in force for the south of the region

Snow totals by 18:00 on Sunday

[Summer Sun]

We might not be done with the snow yet

From the met office

With the potential for further snowfall across northeast and eastern England into Monday night, an Amber warning is likely to be issued for those areas.

Dripping here too, the paths are rather slushy now.

[NickR]

Sudden jump in temp about 45 mins ago... any idea why?

[Isolated Frost]

Paths are pretty slushy now- mainly due to pedestrian traffic, but also a gradual melt after the 1030-1300 snowfall.

Band starting to become more deregulatory and swing a bit- hopefully we have a lot more coming this evening. About 2cm lying here on untouched surfaces, grass is covered.

[paul tall]

Same as everyone else really, 2-3cm lying over grass but now slushy on pavements. Temperature up to 2.4º and we've even had a little bit of sun.

[snow_mad_09]

Met office have Newcastle down for heavy snow at 1800.

Are we expecting snow showers coming off the North Sea overnight?

[NL]

Its been raining here on the coast for an hour or so with the odd snowflake floating around. Most of the snow has melted/washed away. Its still very raw outside and the prospects of this all freezing tonight will be a nightmare to walk on, hopefully snow will fall later and renew the cover and make it a little easier underfoot.

[Summer Sun]

Met office have darlo down for light snow 18:00 to 21:00 heavy snow 21:00 to 00:00

[seabreeze86]

Its been a decent day here so far, started with light snow which turned heavy around dinner time and left us with a covering. Now its melting away and the temp has got up to 2 degrees and dew point at 1.1 so looking the wrong side of marginal at the moment here for more snow.

[Isolated Frost]

0.5 - extremely light

1 - very light

1.5 - light

2 - light to moderate

2.5 - moderate

3 - moderate to heavy

3.5 - heavy

4 - very heavy

4.5 - torrential

5 - severe

That's probably the heaviest it got today

Radar showing a E/SE progression of shrs near the NE Scotland coast- sink that flow and jackpot- now we play the waiting game, moving from the N/NW, was W 3 hours ago, so a slow progression as the transient lower trough system passes by-

watch dew points and temps as the flow could begin off as rain/sleet- slowly colder uppers move in for snow this eve (the NMM predicts the flow will turn east of due north - 700hpa - at 6pm, so watch the east and north-east for the convectivity-

the flow tomorrow at 700hpa is beautifully N/NE, flow at 850hpa is E/NE, add -8c/-9c uppers and a slack flow... snow showers galore

[snow_mad_09]

So far in this cold spell , my thermometer hasn't dropped below 0.5c.

[Summer Sun]

After snow showers for a time tomorrow and Thursday Friday see's the next chance for some falls

[Rollo]

Down to 0.3c as the sky clears somewhat

[NickR]

UKMO 96hrs looks very good for snow showers to my eye.

[Boro Snow]

Met office have darlo down for light snow 18:00 to 21:00 heavy snow 21:00 to 00:00

Kin ell, I never knew that the GFS was specific enough to locate your eye at 96 hours!
