I had the triple whammy: stayed up till 3... woke wife up when I went to bed, she went mad... then son woke up and didn't get him back to sleep till 5... result: 1 and a half hours' sleep.

Some huge showers going up to my east now, time for some big convective showers

Local bbc radio ramping up our snow prospects. Bbc National went through all weather warnings in the south and midlands but didn’t mention the ones up here and Scotland

I know sky and bbc news today going on about the south and said this was the worst affected area. They mentioned the North a bit but they did go over the warnings a lot so that's something.

Shower after shower in aycliffe at the moment, starting to settle again now too

[Freezing-Point]

Present time there are scattered showers and you have to be lucky to get a direct hit.

What we need is for them to become more established and start merging into larger showers which give more prolonged snow fall.   Any ideas what time that is expected to happen?

 

Temp here -0.7c and falling

That was the shower that went just to the north of me.  It was much smaller then and RED in intensity.  Looks like its dissipated and grown.
