Looks ok to me showers quite close together

And intensifying as well. Much less scattered than a few hours ago so I'm happy!

Hi all

really interesting we have 60% chance of heavy showers from 6. Just a few miles inland and four miles north, serge field is 90% and in the Amber warning. That bizarrely seems to match the greater number of showers showing north of the tees valley. If it’s right it’s impressive forecasting !

This was my back garden in 2010. Let's see if it can get this deep again. Sadly the little fella in the middle is no longer here to measure the depth.

Where are you located? Would you add to your profile so it makes it easier to identify where is being affected etc?

Heavy snow again here I'd say 6 or 7 /10 blowing around and sticking to everything 

[JP1972]

These showers are getting heavier. If they continue like this after sunset we could see a decent dumping 

[rdt123]

Definitely thinking further north, I reckon Durham north may do well tonight and tomorrow

[Summer Sun]

Lost around 2 inches off the garage and shed roofs today front garden has gone from full coverage to a partial near the road and clear closer to the house

[seabreeze86]

Showers already looking beefy, need the temperature to drop away here currently 1.7 Dew point -3.6 though. Kept snow-covered easily in my back garden, big thaw on concrete though

These showers off shore are really starting to grow in size and intensity.Due to hit Tyneside during rush hour

Someone getting a pasting just North of me.

 

[garylaverick]

This was 2010 for me. Doubt we'll beat this.

[Boro Snow]

At least the thaw should stop soon as the Sun is lowering, lost nothing out the front quite a bit out the bk though 

[garylaverick]

Showers intensifying as they hit land, I bet the North Pennines get a pasting tonight.

[rdt123]

Trying to explain to my four year old that trampolining is for the summer ! What a laugh we’ve had outside in it, like the old days

[Boro Snow]

Temp starting to drop currently 0.8c DP 3.3c it's going to be a bitter night ?

[NickR]

I'm getting pretty fed up with heavy showers of snowgrains!

[doctor32]

Well eventually got those classic winter showers that start off as hail then gradually turn to heavy snow.

A sleepless night looking on the cards
