Not a bad 1st fall. About 3-4cm though does seem quite wet

If the snow is wet up there we don't stand a chance down here.

Yeah was quite surprised it felt slippy under foot, as looked quite fluffy coming down, unless it started off as sleet as I was napping after v early start today. 

Yip, officially feeling Auld

Snow will get down to see level just need the showers to hit now. No chance of rain with -4 dew points, currently just above freezing so that’s why lower areas seeing rain

Yeah, that's how it started here (Durham, 120m).

ETA: My guess is, as the wind veers NE, we're pulling warmer air off the sea.

Could be right, bit of a slushy mess here now, certainly doesn't seem to be freezing over.

[Chris Smith]

The Co Durham road cameras tell the tale of this evening. Tow Law and higher for lying snow, so that's 300m+, with a slushy mess 100m to 300m. The Ushaw Moor camera best represents where I am.

Yep spot on Chris.

It does appear to be more like snow now. Some more showers look like they might work their way in during the night 

[ScottSnow]

Bit of a letdown here this evening so far. Started as snow but then turned sleety. As others have mentioned you need to be above 200m to see anything lying.

Proper snow now but still not lying. Looking at the radar, we may get a few more showers. Hopefully the temp drops a degree or two.

Netweather Radar v4, I've missed you

I take back what I said last night. Must've snowed during the night. I woke up to a nice dusting of snow in darlo. A good start to the season

[Continental Climate]

Wonders never cease. We have snow in darlo. 2 or 3 cms maybe at most but better than nowt. 

[Phil Blake]

Very slight slushy deposit here 

[seabreeze86]

Nothing here think every shower has managed to miss so far

[Gizzy]

Nice dusting here this morning, had gone slushy last night but obviously froze and a fresh cm on top.

Was awoke by the car scrapers at 6.30am, its very very cold.

Looks like mild next week if the main thread is to be believed but a nice end to November.

This week is a bonus anyways in what is expected to be a back loaded winter

[Chris Smith]

Couple of cms here overnight and another heavy shower just rolling through now.

[NorthEastSnow]

Nothing to write home about here. Smallest of sprinkles on car windscreens! 

[Phil Blake]

Had a heavy ish shower roll through just before school run. Everything is all white

[NorthEastSnow]

Hoping this next clump of showers actually hit here and I can enjoy some of the white stuff... my guess it will be sleet by then 

Even Plymouth has more snow than me.
