What long settled spell…??,
-
So for the 5th weekend in a row another cloudy Saturday start, muggy but just a tad fed up now. We was sun starved in spring, and now this summer. The first 2 weeks of June is the only nice weather we have seen since March.
Only positive in all this everywhere is green and lush which we have not seen last few summers.
-
Before we all know it August will be here , which historically is the most unsettled month of the summer season…so could this be the year we don’t hit 30+?
-
This has to be the worst 2 and half weeks of summer that I have seen since 2012, just without the rain….since mid June i don’t think we have seen sun from dawn til dusk, been cool, with temps only around 18c or below, only thing luckily is there hasn’t been much rain. Never known such a year where here in the east we have had a nagging north wind basically since early spring….We all know by winter it will go and won’t make appearance when we want it to….
Not nothing to cheer about either this weekend ( hopefully only the football) not overly exciting for the next 2 weeks either, then before we know it, summer will be nearly over…

I’ve come on for a moan….3rd damp cool Saturday here in Mid Norfolk…weather next 2 weeks looking no different in fact looking even more wetter than it has been. So fed up, doom and gloom in the news with June 21 unlikely to happen, We all new we’d pay for this with Spring last year being the complete opposite…what worries me is if we don’t have a summer business will be in tatters. Can’t even jump on a plane and head to warmer climate…ugh ,

Good, why anyone want to chase cold now is beyond me, it’s been fun and games but let’s look forward to some warmth now.

Like everyone on here we have had a exciting week, everyone in Norfolk saw snow, and love the dry air that has made the main roads dry and the snow in the countryside....just like if I was in the alps without the hills...
Now bring on the warmth why some people want to look out for cold still is beyond me, why?

So where is this record breaking cold we meant to be having this weekend lol, "worse then the weather in 62" funny how those guys not posted on the model forum since Sunday .Infact next Monday looks like a barmy 7c
Id rate this as 6/10 for effort. Yes seen about 4cm most of that has thawed today in the sun. Oh and not been windy at all today either. Roll on spring this can all do one now

Why can't it just shift southwards a little?
It’s been so annoying what’s worse is that hereall day just been 5 miles away south, now it’s so dam close last few hours just stayed that bit north unbelievable
-
Still have a force shield here
-
Just popped in not been on last couple of hours, gone very quiet on here since... definitely wasn’t the excitement I was expecting like many others. I knew the main band was never going to be impressive in my area, but what has happened to these apparently heavy showers spreading in from the east?
-
Is so ironic when no one gets anything, but if it was rain or showers , your town or village gets deluge lol

Apart from a very few who have been in a prime location, this has turned out to be a very bland event so far. Especially being a Sunday when we are all at home

Hello. I’ve been lurking on this forum for the past year but decided to sign up now. I’m in Norwich norfolk. Is it looking good here? Some forecasts say heavy snow and some say light. I’m a snow lover so I hope we get lots. Thanks
It’s very touch and go for us, I think as it stands maybe a little more optimistic then 6 hours ago, our best chance is Monday and Tuesday with the showers
-
Just seen MO latest radar projection on twitter does show it more north then 6 hours ago, still plenty time go either way..

can’t help but think snowfall-wise that this is going to be a huge bust for my location! too far north on most of the models and forecast i've found. ice days and deep frost probably, but snow is what i’ve been looking for and i’d be gutted if out of such a great setup for england i only get a cm or two
Unfortunately latest guidance isn’t great for most of Norfolk now, I think at most will be snow flurries... we need to rely on the showers Monday Tuesday for our chance...Those talking about a Red Warning, I’d be surprised if one was issued...never happened back in 2018 in EA

The Amber Warning for tomorrow has shifted about 8 miles westwards on southern end and moved a little further North into Norfolk.The warning has also been extended timewise from 4am tomorrow till 9am Monday morning.Kentspur-If this comes off you will get walloped.My mate lives in West Kingsdown which is now in Amber zone and he COULD receive 25-30cms by end of this warning(hills of north Kent-quote from warning).
This all feels quite surreal atm as it is 6 degrees in Locksbottom not a breath of wind and sunny.Have already tidied garden up ready for the snow.Good luck to everyone and let’s hope this time next week we will be reviewing an epic cold spell for all of us.Those that miss out tomorrow and Monday look out for that feature Icon shows-Tuesday night into Wednesday could provide Hampshire Surrey Sussex and West London with a nice covering-one to watch over next 24-36hours on the models
stay safe
When Beast from the east 2018, the Amber warning was fairly similar if I remember, covered little more of Norfolk then at present...like Now Attleborough was just on the fringe of Amber...Thetford 8 miles away was in Yellow warning had about 2” not many road issues.Here we had about 6”, then when I traveled to work in Norwich nearly 9” so all interesting set ups

Thoughts on adjustments to Meto warnings for Sunday a little later. Adjustment to Amber northern edge southwards perhaps?
Yes, I think you may be right? ,South Suffolk southwards, not looking as good as it was yesterday for South Norfolk North Suffolk, local radio said Essex area now looks most favoured spot
-
Radar has been showing snow here in Mid Norfolk for the last hour but bone dry and windy, obviously disappearing before it hits the ground, happened last week as well, so bloody annoying.

Can’t wait until we have one of them 48 hour North Sea effect snow events again with a direct Northerly or Northeasterly.
Model outputs keep on hinting at a cold February, so we shall see.
Snap, as I said yesterday our best chances are always full blown northerly, or the beast from the east... any weather system from the west always stalls like today or fragments before it gets here...travel to Corby...my friends are there, 8” of snow not stopped since 12 and it’s still coming down

Just seen met office have extended the yellow warning to the whole of EA as the snow band tracking more north and east....however not all of Northern EA we see snow... Still not expecting much here in Mid Norfolk I still think the band of snow will break up by the time it reaches us...

Yet another gloom feast here in Norfolk, the poor spring summer appearance of sun in short supply…clouds just now breaking up….only few days of sun looks now likely until Tuesday when average temp and the cloud returns ugh
