That'll be from the band moving from the south clipping eastern counties.

[Jarrow Posh]

Moderate to heavy snow now falling and settling in Jarrow.

[Summer Sun]

Apparently cars are becoming stuck in the snow in Alnwick

[Summer Sun]

Lisa showing heavy snow on Monday for Durham significant accumulations possible as the snow lasts through-out the day

After a high of 2.4c at 12:46 the temperature is falling sharply down to 1.2°C now

[snowmackem]

one or two places couls conceivably see it snowing constantly, without stopping, from now until Tuesday, incredible

[Snowy McSleety]

Any sign of snow in Durham City?

I'm at work in Newcastle and looking at the radar Durham seems to be in a snowy black hole with everything missing us!

From Peter Gibbs on Twitter

This'll (snow) be around for a few days Lynn. Signs of something milder later next week.

[NL]

Frontal snow looking likely to push southwards now. Looking at the visible satellite it seems to be grinding to a halt just 20-30 mile from Teeside. Great..! Never been a fan of frontal snow as I've stated before, bring on the North sea onslaught..!!

[Jarrow Posh]

Heavy snow settling on all surfaces now.

This shower has lasted 1/2 an hour now and the radar is really looking promising for more showers feeding in.

Edit Eased right off for now!

Not as good in NE38- but still some v heavy snow showers with blowing snow.

Precipitation over the last 12 hours.

Northumberland coast and SE Scotland coast being most affected, along with inland E Scotland.

[damianslaw]

Spare a thought for us cumbrians, we really couldn't be positioned in such worse a place for chance of snow, from an amber warning to perhaps a few flurries, we tend to get it when Boone else gets it let's hope our time will come soon

[Darandio]

Starting to get much heavier here now, with bigger flakes. Radar may suggest this could be the start of a long period.

[NickR]

WHen are the winds due to veer more E'ly? soon?

[tynevalleysnow]

The trend all day has been for the snow to move further inland. First thing it was berwick then alnwick then blyth now shields so by the time its peterlee, hartlepool landfall places like durham consett and hexham should be in on it

[Isolated Frost]

WHen are the winds due to veer more E'ly? soon?

No, a slow movement from SE, to ESE, to E and finally ENE tomorrow.
