[Alex95]

Almost no fresh snow on the A1 western bypass.

[Summer Sun]

Around 40 minutes and counting of light snow here now starting to lay at the side of the road

NAE now picking up on the next band of snow moving into the SE on Sunday before it heads north

Yeah no real snow in Hartlepool still bitterly cold hope some heads our way soon

[Summer Sun]

Its due to hit on Monday some "significant falls" are possible

[jennyifer]

Just looked on the met office.,says snow becoming light and patchy over much of the UK cold and ice .am i right in thinking the heavy snow for up from 6 tonight is now not the case ?

Maybe... but thinking "it'll be an E'ly tomorrow" doesn't help an awful lot when 1 mile north of you (OK I exaggerate, but you get the point) they're getting an additional 12-18 hours of snow.

[Summer Sun]

UKMO precipitation for 13:00 Monday

[Isolated Frost]

Tilt... dammit... tilt.

[jennyifer]

I know Monday looks good but didn't it look good for us tonight and as far as i can see its now all but missed us other than the off flurry.hope your right though .

[davyf]

glittery stuff in consett. looks like shards of glass. looks nice and all that but would swap it for a blizzard anyday

[Isolated Frost]

If we shifted from this SE, to a ESE, we would be getting absolutely destroyed by this trough- which looks like it'll be on course for E/SE Scotland instead.

[Deep Snow please]

Fairly light snow steadily throughout the day here, with the odd heavy burst. Was a good one at around 3.30 which covered the entire garden, all the bits that were melted were recovered, so hopefully it's laid a good foundation for the heavier snow showers tonight to give a good inch or so at least on top of what's already on the grass/garden wall. Very light snow now. Bit worried whether I'm far enough north though.

Northumberland and the south seem to be getting all the good stuff today.

[Isolated Frost]

NMM advice? Watch the E Yorks coastline.

This little feature begins to develop over the next hour and comes in at 2000... can't be wrong at t+3, can it?!

[NL]

Just returned from my mams house and heard warnings from what I assume to be the authorities asking people to stay indoors and not to venture out.!! First time Ive ever heard owt like that, anyways the snow is coming down in bucket loads here right now and looks to be set in for at least a couple of hours.

[peterf]

beginning to look like a wet fart event this.
