looks like a dust storm:

Right it is a major storm in north east england - it came rolling over the hills like a dust storm. Nearly all the schools are closing. It has been blizzarding in northumberland for 45 minutes and it has now hit county durham - the worst storm i have seen in a number of years - this is proper snow not the wet stuff - really nice fine snow - great for snowboarding etc. i would say w ehave accumulated an extra 2 inches of snow in 20 minutes. will post a picture of the storm coming over in a few minutes.
