Only a 2 cm covering here, nothing this morning, I want some snow!

[ballybabe21]

Still snowing in darlo - everything apart from salted surfaces getting another covering.

[NickR]

Are the winds supposed to turn more Ely or even ENEly later? Hope it's soon!!

[Boro Snow]

starting to get heavy

[Summer Sun]

Coming down heavy in darlo now

Looking at the radar Northumberland is in for another pasting today theirs a host of showers heading up that way

[jennyifer]

[Summer Sun]

Enjoy it while it lasts, this looks to be it's swan song . Must admit, I was surprised at the amount we got in Darlo, we were very lucky with what was quite a narrow band of showers hitting us dead on. Have to agree it was nice to have the main roads clear leaving work at 8 though, makes admiring the snowy scenes far more bearable when you're not having to drive at a snail's pace!

Had enough of this now..! Snow by night, sleet by day. If it remained snow it wouldn't be so bad and I'd thought we'd have at least 7-8"of crisp snow but the cold rain/sleet just washes it away leaving an awful slushy mess..Hoping for a Nor'easterly in Feb as these often bring clean fresh snow with cold but sunny days in between, not grey,dull leaden skies like Sou'easterlies and easterlies do..

To be fair, I think this is still part of the front from yesterday so grey skies are to be expected and also unfortunately because the flow will be coming off the sea again, it will increase how marginal it will be.

Looks like very light snow around here, but there is no real flake form though so its hard too tell if it is a little sleety or not. Shame there is no heavier PPN around as there be less mixing compared to yesterday as there is much less wind around.

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

Just finished clearing street again!! No more snow please? No where to put it!!?

[Summer Sun]

The Atlantic is almost certain to break through next week now bringing with it milder and for some wetter weather

[Summer Sun]

Turning brighter here in darlo now the temperature is up to 2.5°C with the dew point at -0.4°C both continue to rise

[Snowmaggedon]

Anything interesting heading for Teesside?

Looking at the radar no the showers have just about fizzled (you may see something within the next 45 minutes) but thats about it
