Quit moaning will you, that's a good amount.

5 cms of old snow on about 10% means I shouldn't moan with the falls and depths people have been posting today? Away with you! LOL

Run the radar from 8:30 and you'll see how the heavier ppn forms immediately after passing Durham LOL.

SO, how's everyone's depths coming on?

0.001cm here but it's picking up now.

[Kato]

Its now a fine sleety rain in Hartlepool

[tynevalleysnow]

Heavy drifting snow prudhoe now.on break at work and got a shock when I went for my usual walk

[Snowmaggedon]

It's coming down very heavily in Boro, think this is our best snowfall in a long while. Everything is covered and it doesn't look like stopping

[Kato]

And back to bigger flakes

[Summer Sun]

Snow in the south? we are doomed!

The dew point is continuing to rise here but its still well be zero at -3.6°C air temp is 0.1°C

And back to bigger flakes

Could you add your location to either your profile or signature bar?

Makes it easier to see where the snow is

Thanks

Using tablet so hopefully can see picture through this link.

Sorry, but the privacy settings must be set to private. My imagination is running wild though!

Just stopped here outside Morpeth. 8 inches lying in my garden.

Swings and roundabouts. I'm sure you'll get a few foot by next Friday.

I'm currently searching the house for a tape measure/ruler to get a more accurate measurement but can't find one. So I'm not sure what my depth is but it's not much more than 5cm I'd guess,

[Smoggieontour]

Moderate snow in Middlesbrough, small flakes.

Walked from Thornaby to Acklam in glitter like snow about 7.15ish then about 7.45 we had a much heavier spell. Has been steady since about 8.

Probably a couple of cm on pavements.

Depth?

looking out the back window would estimate 6" just a guess got my jim jams on now will measure in morning as long as it is still here lol

[Continental Climate]

ECM would basically give us easterly convection for the next four days two days of slack bitter temps then back to the easterlies again lol

[CPK East Durham Coast]

Thunder snow here

[lizmartin1981]

They have started closing roads and withdrawing bus services here now because of the lying snow. I am super impressed with what we have got so far, weve spent the night making snowmen and snowball fighting and tomorrow shall be spent sledging And yes, I am going 31 going on 8 haha

[Summer Sun]
