Hmmm.

Just been outside, the car has a fresh layer on it but I have to say the new covering of snow is wet.

[peterf]

wild up here off to bed for a couple of hours,as got cows in me fridge mooing.

[NickR]

It's definitely snow here, blowing a gale, moderate snow.

[snowmaddave]

May of spoke to soon, really heavy snow coming down now, is there hope yet!!!

[paul tall]

Moderate snow here now, half an hour more and I'm off to bed.

[snowmaddave]

Finally getting some huge snowflakes biggest so far tonight.

[SNOW-MAN2006]

Moderate graupel in Newcastle, Jesmond. More promising than those in the south of the region so far i guess...

[CraigUK]

Snowing moderately in Darlo too - thankfully! Was beginning to worry!

[snowmaddave]

For the first time tonight, we have proper snow falling, well decent size snowflakes anyway, i just hope things have turned less marginal now and can get a decent top up.

[paul tall]

Still snowing moderately, some accumulation but hard to tell how much. Could do with bigger flakes and the wind to drop for a while.

[Moor Driver]

Snowing finally here. Certainly nothing to write home about though.

[paul tall]

Big flakes now, oh yes.

[paul tall]

Absolutely and utterly bleaching it down now - I go to bed satisfied.

[gazzac69]

proper snow falling here now, really blowing around up and down in the lamppost,

[Mick Ormiston]

Blizzard conditions in consett.

[davyf]

Blizzard conditions in consett.

Aye just had a look out the window after being asleep for a few hours. What a belter!!! Might as well cancel me alarm to get up for work ha.

[CraigUK]

That's the big band through Darlington already, not a massive amount down on the ground really. Still coming down moderately now, but seems a little wet when looking out the window.

[SNOW-MAN2006]

Just saw the biggest snowflake land on my skyline !! It was MAHOOSIVE!!!

[Snowstorm1]

no cover here gutted back to sleep for me

[Alex95]

Proper blizzard here with the heavy snow and gales, but sadly its too wet to lie really.

Same story in Darlo really. Seemed to lay well at first, but it's fast melted and not really left a great deal.

[Alex95]

The radar is looking rather disappointing too - the snow seems to be fizzling out! Anyway, back to bed for a couple of hours.

[Penrith Snow]

The north west seems to have as much as the northeast without the thawing problems, loads of snow on Lancashire coast poor forecasting by Meto that.

Only 3cms here due to Pennines snow shadow but at least it's dry snow high ground in cumbria reporting depths over 10cms.

[Moor Driver]

Snowing now, but no accumulation overnight

[Cloud 10]

Moderate/heavy snow here at the moment,with fresh gusty winds.

Not sure how much has fallen but i'm sure the roads will be horrendous due to drifting.
