Louise Minchen(?) on BBC1 Breakfast described the snow in the south as
"showers" which was bad enough for a supposed meteorologist, but what was
happening further north was said to be "heavy snow flurries"!


Don't know where I got "Heather" from in first post.
Definition of "snow flurry" from Wikipedia: "A snow flurry is a brief
instance of light snow, with very little or no accumulation of snow on the
ground." That sounds like what the NE is getting!
