Last night forecasts were showing it just glancing Aberdeen, now it must be 100 miles further west.

Definitely going to be a big event this the north east especially areas close to the coast

[seabreeze86]

Met office now going for heavy snow here from 11 looks like it will be earlier than that. This is reminiscent of a event that happened in 2010 when nothing was forecast and coastal area got slow moving snow showers

Heavy snow shower here decent top up from weds radar looking good for more too

Well, I wasn’t expecting that! They look heavy and slow moving, will be good for whoever gets them.

I'm about to set off for work in Washington, think I'll take the 4x4 today.

Wow we’ve had a canny fall in Whitley bay to top up what we had, looks like more incoming, brilliant stuff this

They seem to have slowed right down over the last 30mins... somewhere is going to get a pasting!

Early morning showers have given a decent top up here and more on the way by the looks of it.

Nice! - wasn't expecting this trough to hit us this early, nice top up & snowing nicely now

[seabreeze86]

Look at the radar, it’s on fire someone is going to get hammered 

[northumberland snowman]

This is impressive

[stjamesnewc]

I’m right on the border at the moment, everywhere north and west of me looks like it’s getting this shows but I have had another cm or 2 overnight. 
 

I don’t want to jinx it but the big showers seem to be heading this way...

Fingers crossed. I fear I may be too far in land but the coastal areas and northumberland look to be in the firing line of some beefy showers.

The angle of the showers, there development as they move closer to land tells me any coastal regions plus up to 15 miles inland from NYM to Berwick will get something decent from this over next 4/6 hoursm

Well...didn't quite expect that on opening the curtains.....

[Snowmaggedon]

Well nothing here yet! 

[Willitwontit]

Very unusual for us to get a decent covering along the coast these days. Off sledging this morning

If nothing changes, I think we’ll be ok
