[NorthEastSnow]

Well Stockton has once again been rubbish its like we have a dome over us and it kills the radar!

[Summer Sun]

in darlo we av at least 3-5 cm

in my bk garden these a very good covering and it looks like we have just had a very heavy shower

I have a thin covering now, aint measured whats fallen so far its too cold!

[smogonthetyne]

Still bog all here. So in true holby city melodrama im 'calling this'

Cold spell. Time of death 21.02

[Geordiesnow]

This certainly more interesting now, heavy fine snow blowing around and the dry snow blowing off the roofs, shame its not daylight though!

[Emma Jayne Agar]

Just been out to measure........ Drum roll please....

3.5cm

[Freezing-Point]

Still light snow here no accumulation since 1cm. However, very suprisingly the temp has dropped from 0.2c to -0.1c, which is the coldest its been during any snowfall since last Friday!

[Cloud 10]

Heavier snow here now,radar looks epic!

[seabreeze86]

The one thing that is keeping me interested is that on the recent radar updates the heavier stuff is moving north east and making better progress over the pennines. If it does what the last band does and weakens when it gets to me then intensifys when it past me then i will call it a night.

I think our look might change in cleveland area in the next few hours or is that just wishful thinking i hope not as this cold spell has been poor for us at sea level just one decent snow event and the most sleet i have ever seen.

Not for here it doesn't! LOL

[Mick Ormiston]

Dare I say it.. onions loads falling here now.

Pmsl at the swear filter.

[DJovengloves]

Jeez it's raw out there.

Lightish snow here, but that wind is biting.

Lots of snow blowing off the fields across local roads. Certainly going to be an interesting drive to work (Washington) tomorrow morning at 04.30

[CraigUK]

Oh dear at that gap in the showers, you couldn't make it up!

[DJovengloves]

Ohh, some whiteout conditions on some of our higher routes.

[seabreeze86]

Just been scanning threw the wind vectors at the various hights from 1000hpa to 300hpa and they all point either north or north east, so im going to call it that the north-east including Cleveland, Teeside, and just for Nick R Durham will get hit by the heavier stuff.

My cards on the table and lets hope im right.

[Penrith Snow]

LOL - look at the radar - you can see the rainshadow (of Crossfell??) right in front of Durham!;

Tell me about it nick, last week I was in the snow shadow on the other side of cross fell for 12 hours!

[Penrith Snow]

Just measured 9cms, 3 of which fell in last half hour, the snow is the heaviest I have known it in years, remarkable.

Would be nice to experience that... some of the snow around Leeds and Manchester looks insane!

Great link.

Anyone for a drive up to Tow Law?

Conditions are worse here than on Monday now,with heavier snow and stronger winds.

Some other consett peeps post and say how bad it is up here. Jeez..its heavy.

[seabreeze86]

The ppn is edging north with every update going to be a close one but we will soon find out.

Just put my head out the door and we have freezing rain here now its making that give away crackle when it hits the surface just hope it turnes to snow soon.

[Freezing-Point]

Still no heavy snow here, Max intensity 8/10. Nice covering of 1.5cm

[Geordiesnow]

PPN around here is very very fine again, really hard to judge how much is falling because my windows have got drops on them from the dry snow hitting them from the roofs but I can't see any distinct flakes again though.

[paul tall]

Not for here it doesn't! LOL

Heavier stuff skirting just a few miles to the North of me - it's a desert here.

Ohh, some whiteout conditions on some of our higher routes.

[Mick Ormiston]

[Guest]

Have good hopes for the stuff out to the west. Worrying gap but will stick with the forecast for now :-)
