We have a dusting here in Newcastle upon Tyne...

robfosters · 26 Feb 2018 at 08:16

Coming down gently here.

Uther · 26 Feb 2018 at 08:30

Bright sunshine here.

Seems to be the usual hyperbole here in the SE. I woke up this morning planning for the worst, but despite being very cold and clear overnight, we didn't even have any frost. I'm in Orpington now and it snowed heavily for a bit, but just long enough that there's a light dusting everywhere...and now the sun has come out.

Are you a bit inland? We've got nothing here (on the coast).

I think he's a white walker.

We're just wildlings by the coast.

Thursday event has currently changed here to friday morning then snowing all day

Sui · 26 Feb 2018 at 09:58

Currently in the Amber area for snow on Tuesday morning, heavy snow between 9pm tonight and 10am tomorrow morning.

Sounds like a snow day if that's accurate, as the ground is pretty dry at the moment.

Snow hasn't even started falling and Greater Anglia has cancelled services

Well done!

Darlington area reporting in...

Woke up to a very light dusting this morning, which has since melted.

Currently 2.6c.

Over.

Thursday really looking like the main event down here in south. Although thats already starting to look less likely than how they were reporting it last night so i guess come tomorrow will change again to no snow haha.

Just started coming down (lightly but chunky flakes) in Park Gate.

XeNoN89 · 26 Feb 2018 at 11:55

Had light to moderate snow showers all morning, not settling as sun is coming out and meting whatever has settled between each shower. The snow should get heavier and more organised over night

I was just working in HSBC Whitely, very very light there. It''s heavier out in Romsey and laying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5prrVkGg4_g&feature=youtu.be

Yet again nothing for my little bit of England

Regy53 · 26 Feb 2018 at 12:13

Nothing here in Leighton Buzzard

What I can say is it is bitterly cold. Not felt it this bitter in a while!

Getting Postman Pat vibes from that

Nothing here in the North East, weather report this morning looked like we won't see any heavy snow until Wednesday evening.

haha...nope, I can see why you say that. I'm an EPOS engineer but do spend a bit of time on the road.

Essentially what we're getting here. Sky goes dark, snows like **** for 10 minutes, then it stops and the sun comes out and melts it all.

Edit: Not sure why that starred out
