Quick question- Am i right in thinking that in an ssw the first response of downwelling is that the vortex will try a big push to organise itself before a full split occurs?
Its happening now, referring back to catacols post from last night, reversal should start in around 24 hours, it is i believe that by Monday/Tuesdays outputs they will start to realise how strong a reversal it is.
Mmm looking at radar its gonna be tight maybe just skirting Norfolk, unless it intensifies at all.
Not seeing a lot from the threads to our North either.
Tail of the front now spreading down from the North, will it make it this far down? What will it be when it gets here? I think it is probably too far east already to affect most of the region.
....And yet just up the coast from you in Ipswich we had snow and graupel showers in the late after noon and just after dark, they then cleared and the temp dropped to -2c which in turn froze all settled snow and slush solid. Then in the early hours we had 2cm off snow fall on our nicely prepared crunchy surface (more than a dusting). Unfortunately its like storms......One mans warning can be completely called for but just down the road another mans can seem a complete waste of time.
Another cracking school run today, constant pulse of snow all the way there and back has got me to the 2cm mark.
Nice little winter spell with snow settling 3 days in a row.
Veil of high stratus that was giving patchy light flurrys ahead of the front evaporating fast on sat24 imagery, this could now lead to some better convection breaking out over the North sea which could be where the talk of hail, snow and thunder comes from across EA.

There was talk yesterday of it maybe pushing back across Norfolk and maybe NE Suffolk giving 1-5cm maybe, surprised not to have seen any kind of report from up there.
What an absolutely glorious school run, just over 1cm here on all surfaces, lovely blue sunny skies between the showers, and the unmistakable squeak of snow underfoot.
