[Deep Snow please]

Seems to have bypassed me somehow. Story of the day.

[garylaverick]

Just drove home from Kibblesworth to Washington. Snowing all the way, A1 all 3 lanes covered in snow. Saw 1 gritter but it wasn't plowing or gritting. Could be interesting in the morning if this freezes over. Good start to the spell, lets hope we get even better when the winds swing round at the weekend.

2c / -1c here with a small covering ; goodnight all

[Deep Snow please]

Would snow in washington when i'm not there.

Somewhat enraged by this so called event now given i've fell in that gap.

You really think so, GK? I can't see where the showers are going to come from. When will the wind change?

If the winds turn a bit more westerly showers can pep up off irish sea and cross over the Pennines like they did last week. However they only got as far as consett area, but with a stronger wind I would expect them to travel further.

Unfortunately the winds have veered NW again so might be out of luck.

Will go to sleep happy though as have a slight covering and temps just below freezing.

woke up to a light dusting here, with moderate snow currently  falling

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

Good covering in Consett. Side roads are terrible, snowing and drifting snow again as I type

[Summer Sun]

Got a light covering in Darlington after the initial fall of snow which lasted for around an hour and a half another fall of snow came at around 23:20 then another around 00:30

[Snowmaggedon]

Don't think we got much after that blizzard around 9.30 which lasted for quite a while. Cars, roofs, grass and pavements still got a decent covering on them but there's definitely been a thaw over night

There's a covering of snow/ dusting here this morning, which is more than we've had since March 2013, so that's canny I guess.

It would be nice to get a bit more over the weekend or into next week, I won't hold my breath though if it stays North-Westerly

[Bridgehill Blizzard]

Had lots of heavy drifting snow showers since 7.00 coming down really heavy again now roads look white around Consett area!

[NickR]

Anyone seen the Tow Law webcam!? LOL Great stuff!

That looks atrocious, also note the latest measurements which states it's dry!!:-)

[NorthEastSnow]

Looks like Tow Law has gone into another blizzard looking at the cam link above.

Without a heated rain gauge it will be.

In any case a lot of that could be drifting of existing snow cover considering how windy it is.

[Summer Sun]

Some decent snow drifts up at tow law looking at the camera

 

[Snowmaggedon]

Looks like South Yorkshire is the place to be right now, hoping for more surprises over the weekend and next week now

Yes seems like we have missed the best of it again. Ok we have a dusting but some of the pictures in other regions make you envy.

 

I can’t see much in the way of snow from now on. I can’t really understand the warnings for Sunday.

 

We shall see.

[JP1972]

Had a covering of snow overnight which had frozen slightly, so had to scrape it off the car windscreen at 07:10.

 

Better than nowt!

[Boro Snow]

i now its on its own at the mo but lets hope the gem is onto something

 

 

looking at the radar some more organised showers moving in land west of Glasgow lets hope they make it to our region

[Snowmaggedon]

New weather warning for tonight and tomorrow now...

[NorthEastSnow]

"Thursday and into Friday morning, although at lower levels there will be a gradual trend towards rain and sleet from Thursday evening onwards"

 

Nothing event lol.

[NorthEastSnow]

Snowing in middlesbrough at the moment.

Roads were crap in darlo even main bus routes think dbc would have better gritting programme.
