Im hoping Norwich will get more settling snow this evening too. Been snowing a lot here all day but to little effect. Lets see what the evening brings!

Norwich has just had the first of, hopefully many, snow showers. I now have a light covering in the back garden!

Steve great post. Very informative and clearly stated. You could write it up as a scientific paper mate.... OK back to lurking

Very light snow just started in Norwich! Gone rather dark and also quite windy.

More snow in Norwich. Good heavy shower this time and is sticking on pavements and grass!

Now snowing in Norwich!! Been splitting for a while but we now have a proper snow shower.

Garden white at 7am this morning. Enough for tiny the snowman to make a reappearance!

The snow is now even heavier than half an hour ago!

Heavy snow here in Norwich, adding nicely to yesterdays fall.

Excellent snow fall here in Norwich. As Runboy said we now have at least an inch and still coming down fast. Finally seen some decent snow lying after so much promise over the last couple of weeks. My garden looks great!

Quick shower of snow/hail just arrived in Norwich.... More to follow?

Another one I had been wondering about: GIN SEA= Greenland Iceland Corridor where cyclonic genesis occurs. With Atlantic highs keeping the sytems tracking west to east roughly to the north of the UK bringing mild wet stormy weather to the UK.

Good to see that others find this thread useful too. Couple more to add to the collection. Taken from another thread where I was wondering what some abbreviations meant.... From Steve M: PVA stands for positive vorticity advection- when occuring from the subtropical side of the jet stream will potentially allow deeper cyclogenesis across a region because of the raised thermal gradient- PFJ Polar front jet stream- The jet stream that is the marked boundry between the cold dry air masses from the North and the mild moist ones from the south- PPN on the northern side is normally in the form of convectice showers where as on the southern side you are more likly to have rain belts from layered clouds.... AO - Arctic Oscillation - We need a definition for this, any offers? I would also like to suggest that the first entry on this thread is maintained as a repository for abbreviations. While we do now have this thread, I still urge the more knowledgeable members to use abbreviations rarely in their posts or to at least give the full term once in the text. It will just make post more usable for the majority. OK whinge over.

Norwich has recently had another hail shower - just as I was putting the rubbish out for collection tomorrow! Hopefully lots more snow to come over night.

Norwich : Its starting to get very windy out there now. No rain yet but Im sure its on its way.
