Hi, All,
Well, we're getting there! I've promised folk 30cm+ this week - we'll see.

Current Copley, 09Z 27/2/2018 E 4KT, 600 metres, sky obscured, snow, -2C / -3C, 1029mb steady, snow 10cm (and increasing steadily)

24 hours:- max 0.0C min -2.8C grass -5.4C(under snow)rain 2.4mm(snow converted) sun 26th 1.1hr

Snow is powdery and loose, roads well treated and cleared - Durham County Council is so good at this (seriously).

About the same in Northallerton too. Some minor rural roads impassable.
9cm so far and still snowing heavily air temp -0.5C
Occasional burst of sunshine and blue skies - very photogenic!

Hi, Martin,
local webcam

http://www.durham.gov.uk/weathercame...ail&station=12

shows how the main routes are clear (atm!)

and further up the dales:-

A lot more to come from this one, I think, with the North Sea effect really kicking in now. Unfortunately, this is a busy week for me and I need to travel quite a bit.

Best wishes
Ken

That does look about the same as here. Interestingly Thirsk webcam shows
that they have had hardly any snow - protected by the North York Moors.

Take care. The minor roads are treacherous at the moment. Our local
roads look about the same as the A686 only narrower. Gritters and
official snow ploughs are concentrating on keeping the main A roads
clear. The odd farmer is ploughing with tractor attachments.

Snow continues to fall although at this instant there is blue sky and
sunshine too. It comes in waves with nice bits in between. Just been out
to restock the logs while it had stopped snowing. Sun is warm.

A few surprised daffodils that came out at the end of last week are now
buried under thick snow. Last few years they were out a month earlier.
