    Nothing crazy happening development wise around me today in EA but I'm hopeful the change in atmospheric conditions mid-late afternoon and some cooling may help. Either way development has been slow up to now - anticipating isolated storms later though. Keeping an eye on it! Tomorrow looking more promising as it stands..

    Constant moderate snow for the last 3-4 hours with around 3cm+ on the ground now. Is it me or is this precip more intense than predicted? It seems to keep intensifying at the moment - could be a very interesting night. I have no doubt it'll weaken by the morning however this system could easily give some areas another 4inches before its done.

    Finally some welcome snow in Soham, Cambs. Nice to see the precip pepping up this afternoon - now getting on for a good covering of snow. Be nice to see some more tonight, possibly another few inches maybe?

    Pretty disappointed yet again, all surfaces wet, a little slush on roofs and cars and the precipitation chart has that distinct lack of bite about it. Cannot see anything special happening around cambridge this weekend now.

    yawn!! Nothing at all here. Snow about as localised as it gets with todays set up. Almost guaranteed nothing will get here now - going to get some sleep I think!

    As we've seen so many times this winter for some reason most of Cambridgeshire/Norfolk/Parts of Suffolk are seeing barely a thing in the way of precip, it just fizzles out when it gets here!!! grrrr. Quietly optimistic we might be in for something better in the early hours/morning for this area as it moves away from London/Essex. Not holding much hope though :/

    If we all had a freezing night last night with the ground frozen I might be more optimistic but we had a mild (ish) night and the ground is soaking wet with rain so I can't see the cambridge area getting any snow today, unless we get heavy precip tonight which looks unlikely. When's the next snow event?

    Here's what I predict: rain and drizzle mixed with sleet through Sunday, chance of wet snow by end of the day but none settling then petering out tonight. Areas: East Angia, South East. Elsewhere: rain or hill snow. What an overhyped load of nonsense today is lol move to America!!

    Well so far a bit of dandruff in the air with a little sprinkle but what a disappointment to what the met warned for! Had loads better than this last year. Bring on Sunday (and knowing my luck that'll be east of Cambridgeshire too!!)

    Still nothing here, looking bleak for the Csmbridge area

    So frustrating, I live near canbridge and had barely anything compared with the rest of the country, everything seems to stall and miss us either to the west or the east! Expecting about 2cm today at best

    I was indeed in that storm, drove up to it and met it at Littleport... what can I say, it was one of the best storms I've ever seen/witnessed. Almost constant flashes of lightning, torrential rain and large hail (around 2-4mm in diameter). Drove back out of it towards Soham and got ahead of the gust front, then met it again at Soham and it came with a bang - 50mph+ winds with constant rumbles and flashes. There's no doubt this was a severe storm, don't get them like this in the UK often. The sky had that green tint look about it.

    Just seen the amazing footage on youtube/ various news websites from the supercell footage in Oxfordshire yesterday. Very rare for the UK to get that type of storm, shows that in certain set-ups we can get them though. I'm sure we probably get more supercell type storms than we realise with supercell related tornados but they probably go under the radar/not reported. It's worth noting the set-up we had for this storm to build, as the next few days definitely seem to provide similar set-ups, potentially the door is open for another supercell storm to develop? We seem to be having very similar weather patterns to Japan recently.... and you know what happened there.

    I've seen more or less this exact set up before and I have my doubts that London well get any settling snow as it's no-where near cold enough for that to happen in a significant way. However, wet snow flakes possible? Yes, I think if London gets lucky with precipitation in the morning it'll see some wet slushy stuff. If any managed to settle on the cars/roofs it'll melt within an hour. Dont know why this event is being so over-hyped - we need some serious cold air to get to the UK from the North or East.

    This blocking will last for another week or so looking at the new run, however it does signal a change to more mobile weather by end of Nov and has done for the last few runs now which is good for cold lovers. I have no doubt that there will be some changes afoot and in a few runs may hold a completely different story, it's always hard for the computer to figure out when this jet stream position/block position will come to an end. Saying that it hasn't exactly been overly mild, either, as where it's been cloudy and misty during daytime hours the temperatures have been pegged back to a rather wintry 10-11C tops - obviously when the winds dropped and the sun's out it has been on the mild side for November. Either way I think it looks good for a cold blast at the end of Nov/Beginning of Dec with the UK's first snow and frost on the horizon. How beyond that looks is anyone's guess at the moment! Matt
