dp falling rapidly now.

[Steady Easterly]

Light snow, temp down to 0.8.

[Isolated Frost]

Moderate snow falling here.

[NickR]

My snow is still of the grain variety! IF.. what's going on man?

[snowmaddave]

Back to rain here.

[Smoggieontour]

Temp 0.6. Dp -1 n humidity 79. N light snow in thornaby. Bit wet though

That should be conducive for snow when the heavier stuff hits.

I'll have your fiver at the ready anyway!

[Cloud 10]

The first proper flakes of snow flying past the lampost here now.

[Isolated Frost]

Band still to arrive, still the remnants of convection going on.

Damn, it's really pepping up and pivoting around NE Yorkshire, this is going to be strong!!

radar back on now, just had a decent hail shower 10 mins ago, still no sign of any melting here

reports of rain turning to snow, thats it, decided staying up to watch, I would just be lying in bed thinking is it isn,t it for the next 2 hours probably getting up and looking thro the curtains. going to crack a bottle of beer open and watch, will ring a days holiday in tomorrow citing the severe weather warnings the night before the reason hmmmm

[NickR]

Wife has just gone to bed... this could be a late one... I could be in trouble... ah well.

Living the dream, gazza, living the dream.

[Isolated Frost]

Heavy snow flakes blowing everywhere !

[LomondSnowstorm]

Good luck with the band when it does get to you, looks like it could be quite something if it hits as snow

If it looks like going that way, just crack open a few more and put a DVD on.

[Boro Snow]

weird i avnt looked out for 2 hours but ive had a thaw on the grass but the road has a white cover on it

[paul tall]

Snow grains - annoying. No real accumulation from what has fallen so far.

1.1º/-1.5º

[Isolated Frost]

Ignore the break in the North Sea- that's just poor radar coverage... Germany to Yorkshire- this band will pivot, tilt and flow straight into us- a hell of a system.. note the heavier precip appearing to the NE of East Anglia- that's coming for us ! Will it be rain or snow ? Better take care anyhow because it's heavy and persistent!

[NickR]

From METO on twitter:

   Sunnie Middleton â€@SunnieMiddleton
   @metoffice will there be any more snow in Middlesbrough ?
   

31m Met Office â€@metoffice

@sunniemiddleton Snow likely overnight tonight and into tomorrow although it could well fall as rain. See http://bit.ly/Vf8cx1 . ^MR

Lots of positive reports from the yorkshire thread at the moment,lets see what the morning brings.

[Continental Climate]

this is high stakes at the moment we could get many inches or simply a lot more rain

Why does anyone away from the coast think we'll get rain? It's snow and it's a case of how much we'll get.

[Smoggieontour]

I'd say there's more snow in the Middlesbrough wintry mix than rain.

Radar looks excellent.

Yes IF,that band stretches a LONG way!
