till 11am for most north of durham then prob 2 - 3pm for teeside/N Y Moors say

 

Thanks mate - so maybe a few little CM's then - not bad seeing as I had given up hope lol

[Slysi100]

Cold rain in Redcar. The wind is slowly picking up though so hopefully the colder air will soon kick in. Mind you, I'm only 10m ASL so it'll be touch and go for snow I think.

It's snowing now but seems to we wet snow and on wet ground can't see it sticking. 

Although Andy has given me some optimism lol.

Yea starting to get heavy here just need that layer down lol. 

[Deep Snow please]

Decent snow here now, but as others have said the ground is utterly saturated so it needs to get even heavier to lie anywhere other than grass and car roofs.

[Summer Sun]

Sleet here in Darlo even if this does turn to proper snow it will be very hard for it to lay given the ground is sodden wet

[NorthEastSnow]

I can confirm its starting to settle.

Shame, darlo seems to stuggle to get decent snow... any reason why?

One of the main players here is elevation in 2010 we did very well for snow but so did most parts of the region

 

[gordonm]

Jackpot!!!!!!!!  snowing  and just starting to lay! it is very windy too making it feel bitter outside!

[NorthEastSnow]

Don't lose faith Summer Sun, It was soaking here an hour ago now its white.

[Summer Sun]

Plenty more to come yet looking at the radar could be this afternoon before it clears south

If the skies clear overnight we'll have ice rinks in the morning

agreed. i sit bang in the middle of the "sleet" and it becoming a white out here!!!!

[garylaverick]

Precipitation really looks to be intensifying as it approaches land when you watch the radar loop. A benefit of a warm North Sea I'd imagine.

[Airedalejoe]

Even here at 70m asl still snowing heavy and roads arn't great, everything white!

Bad news. As the intensity has died down the snow has melted back to a puddle!. Excitement over lol.

[Hooala]

Very heavy in Newcastle now

[Rollo]

Snowing lightly now and what there is laying is melting.

[gordonm]

yes initial excitement over and the realisation that for me it is going to be a poor event!. it is still snowing, but at this rate it would need to do so for the rest of the day to accumulate anything significant. looking at the radar i will be lucky to get another hour! looking forward to crisp cold high!

Lets all hope for a staller. Better than some of the super dupere we've had recently though - dusting of snow and it's bloody freezing.
