Sleety snow just started in Whitley Bay

Lola was surprised to see snow this morning.

Whitley Bay also

Whitley Bay gets snow again. Weird.

Looks deeper in the back garden for some reason.

There's a light covering in Whitley Bay this morning but is melting rapidly in the sunshine.

Coming down fairly heavily and it seems to be sticking in Whitley Bay.

I'll be walking the dogs shortly, I'll head that way for a look.

It's no more than a dusting on Whitley Lodge so must be very localised

The trees, roof tiles and garden fences of north east England disagree with your assessment of uneventful. I like snow as much as anyone but surely this extended spell settled, dry and relatively mild weather is unusual - and therefore something of an event. It is certainly preferable to endless rain and wind.

Light snow in Whitley Bay, wasn't expecting that.

Snow in whitley bay. Very wet though.

Just back from sainsburys, nipped out to do the shopping while it is quiet. Came out and the windscreen was covered. Did the lazy thing of using the windscreen wipers which smeared the snow and froze it. Doubled down on my stupid by using the washer thinking I had loads of anti freeze wash. Windscreen fully frozen so it's definitely cold enough. Not much wind either so I think if a shower does come this way, it might deliver more than a millimetre or two. Not banking on it though.

I was down on the beach with the dog an hour ago, the wind has shifted to a more north easterly direction, I don't know if that will make any difference through the night. You could see showers way out to sea but they didn't look to be getting any closer, rather like they were petering out.

Still almost nothing here, temperature rising by a degree or so too. Looks like it will be tomorrow before anything remotely significant happens. BBC weather app overstating the cold and precipitation, met office app seems to be bang on. Has been that way all winter to be fair.
