Really? I'm in Gilesgate and it hasn't been more than light snow for hours. The radar doesn't suggest it's any more in Langley Park than here, a few miles away.

The only silver lining at this stage is that it's bucketing down in the SE.

Anyone any thoughts on today/tomorrow? GFS06z leaves everything up to Teeside, but missing the north of the region entirely. Could be incredibly frustrating. Sheffield will be buried! Is there any hope?

12z is poor - keeps it all further south than it had been. Teeside might be OK. Rest of us missing out to a large extent.

Absolutely! This is 1 April 2013. Near Langdon Beck/the ski centre up there. After this I came back to Durham where it was 10°C and planted my broad beans!

Agree with that. You can always tell we've missed out on proper heavy snow, because people start reporting heavy snow and blizzards and whiteouts when it's no more than moderate snow with a moderate breeze.

It will surprise no one to know that I too have been having these worries/asking these questions.

50 miles further West and we would all have been buried by tonight.

It really has been a frustrating period. Better to miss out by 200 miles that to be so close so often in so few days.

All I'm saying is, I expect membership of The Club to increase substantially this afternoon.

Overnight low of -10.5°C

They need to penetrate a long way inland for me. The top of the NYM always does for us when it's from the SE. I just want to hit -10°C. Currently -9.8°C.

Definitely a Newcastle northwards event.

I knew it! Hate to say it, but it looks like it'll miss most the stretch from up to the Toon too.
