I've had 2 heavy hail showers here so far this morning after waking up to proper snow flakes earlier

[Mercury Rising]

It's a start ...

[Snowmaggedon]

I’m guessing that’s where the snow is coming from?

I’ll let you know when it come through Nunthorpe 

[smogonthetyne]

Oh!  There it is 

[Gizzy]

Just been for a stroll, some nice snow showers, not leaving a log on the ground as blowing around but it is very icy and expect it to stay that way for a good few days.

Bring on a screaming streamer !!

[smogonthetyne]

Lasted 3 minutes.  But it was all flakes, small but all flakes.  Wind picked up too.  Bright sunshine now.

Lot on the ground - not a log !!! That was the dogs job lol.

A few short-lived showers here so far, left a dusting on top of yesterday's dusting, so a double dusting day. So far... Have seen conditions like this previously, should be some heavier ones around later this afternoon and evening...wouldn't bet against 3-4 inches here by morning, prob double that in Consett, Stanley et al !

Same here for me here so your the weather man, updates us on what to expect lol.

A nice covering on everything, the graupel foundation is just what was needed for the snow to lay on top of all very wet ground and its always comforting seing sunny spells & high cumulus clouds forming giving steady stream of showers.

Only about 3cm but is very compact due to the polystyrene like balls, but much prefer a more NE flow for the fluffier stuff which will easily pile up

Same, but they do say take your eyes off the computer ever 2 minutes for rest dont they. lol. 

Its just a shame these showers are to quick moving, a streamer is our best hope.

How about we play a game...it's one of those showery days whereby it seems a bit random who gets what and when. What if, on the hour every hour, starting at 11 am, everybody posts a quick one-liner, or even one word (yes/no/snow etc) and we can all see the distribution across the region. It won't be scientific or prove anything, just a bit of fun?

Look at the shadow that was being cast by that high cloud this morning!

Just typical for us that.

[gazzac69]

Getting a nice proper snow shower from this clump on the radar with hopefully more heading my way -  

[Mr McP]

Showers passing to the north/south of Durham at present. Just measured 5 cm on back lawn from very early morning showers, so not complaining. Snow/ graupel is very dry and powdery.

[NickR]

Seems to be clumping south of us, but nothing in Durham of note.

[seabreeze86]

Blizzard like conditions here now
