impressive !

[garylaverick]

First flakes spotted in the streetlight. Grainy at the moment as the initial wave of cold displaces some higher dew points but they should drop off quickly as the flow embeds.

I'm going to have to call it a night now in the interests of getting up for work!

[ZK099]

Snowfall in Newcastle. So it begins. 

[topsweep1506]

Heavy hail shower here at Walkergate turning things white now

[Stozzy]

Showers just starting too get going round here . 

[Dahonis]

Very light snow in Newton Aycliffe 

[doctor32]

Light flurries here, the fun has started.

These should become heavier later.

[Freezing-Point]

The colder air not mixed in yet.  0.7c here and was 1c when I went to bed.  

[NickR]

I was expecting a bit more overnight!

Further south looks to have got a march on us.

 

[sidneybean]

Nothing in Northallerton so far, even though the radar shows it 

[seabreeze86]

Light snow here, only shallow convection at the moment but that is going to change big time. Enjoy the ride we are going to get hammered with snow.

The beast is just clearing his throat 

[Stozzy]

Light dusting here now . Looks like the heavier showers are steadily growing further north 

[Chris.]

LIght snow falling and just starting to settle in bishop at 5.30am

 

few flurries in Sunderland but nothing major.  2c according to the car 

[sidneybean]

and Northallerton now has dandruff yey!!

[smogonthetyne]

Nunthorpe = very lightest of dustings. 0.5/10

[JP1972]

Had a minor covering on the car windows only in Winlaton, occasional flakes blowing in the wind in Wallsend 

[RUSH]

morning all light flurries here in eldon this morning

[doctor32]

Very slight dusting this morning with a few snow/hail showers...

[Boro Snow]

Nothing here and very surprised at the temp 1.3c 

[Snowmaggedon]

Tbh anything you get today is a bonus the real fun is through Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. Having said that I looked out of the window earlier on and I did see one flake of dandruff blowing in the wind. 

Intensity finally picking up. We have our first shower of the week.

[Freezing-Point]

Temp dropping here now 0.4c.  Neither the wind or the depth of the cold air have increased enough to bring heavier showers in.  That might slowly change as we go through the day

[NickR]

I can't see this getting going for us today. The models always had more convincing convection further south for this period and that is what has happened/is happening.

Yee of little faith. The radar is slowly getting better for us. I expect the showers to get heavier and more widespread later this pm.

[doctor32]

A fair few more moderate showers showing on the radar now, been snowing on and off since i woke at 6am.

Class this as the appitiser...

always the case with showers, some get one after another after another, while someone 10 miles up the road gets only one.

I am certain that EVERYONE at some point this week will get there fair share in the end, we have potentially another 120 hours of snow ahead so lets not complain when we are only a couple of hours in please
