Looking at radar and sat imagery it is clear to me why this front has caused so many headaches, the shear on it makes it look like it could start rotating at numerous positions along it, therefore moving the pivot to a different position.

One other GOOD bit of news is Norfolk and Suffolk get hammered by showers on the 06z ECM throughout Friday and into Saturday. Actually could be quite substantial falls from that. Hotspot would be 4-5 inches!!
At a complete guess, moisture field off the top Netherlands/Germany curling down onto EA coast?

Crikey Darren you really need to chill mate What will be will be just watch the radar real time later - Don't need you in Hospital later when the snow is falling all around you
I'll give him his dues he's bloody good, excellent to have you in here KW, but it might be an idea to work out where your nearest defib is.

We don't have an amber warning yet, but the Met homepage seems to think we do...
Are they pre-empting, or is it a mistake?
Seems just a bit of Hampshire sneaks in

Latest meto warnings noticing the North Sea having a little wake up post low.

Morning all,
-6c here in West Ipswich when i awoke, up to -2 in bright sunshine now, beautiful wintry scene.
So today is chase day again, much more excited about this event as opposed to Tuesdays, maybe not so much for me but the rest of you Southwards.
Im not in any way saying it will but this set up has scope for surprises both during and post, circulations cropping up have already been mentioned, also i still like the looks of the North Sea after the low goes through, i shall certainly watch any moisture coming off the Netherlands.
All in all, enjoy the next 24/48 hours, and the best of luck to you all

Interesting to see those showers packing into the southern counties, that has been quite well advertised by some of the models tonight.
I only really spotted them on there tonight, have been paying to much attention to the front if they travel the same path for a big part of Friday could be some nice totals onto a nice bed laid down by the front.
-
I don't often watch tv forecasts but caught the bbc tonight, my thoughts were that any where 20 miles inland on the central south coast would be my spot.
After the main front it had a line of showers coming on to the coast travelling west along the coast and then off again, these looked to keep going for quite a time after the front.

wow I see the high horse is still in full effect.
FYI. My interest in weather is like the American ranch cookery program I like watching. Just because the food is quite spicy and some ingredients not available in this country doesn't stop me watching it, nor does my lack of knowledge of models stop me reading the threads. The constant bicker at people like myself is uncalled for. Some of us are trying to learn and it's hard when you got so called knowledgeable members thinking it's fun to dangle carrots or feel they are somewhat superior. It is not very helpful.
I am really sorry that some of you don't like people questioning forecasts or getting upset when things don't go to plan. But this is a regional thread. I was posting to let people know at my location I still had rain, then when it changed to wet snow. If this thread doesn't want that then fine, i'll post one observation and leave it.
Can't be bothered to say anymore, apart from if it snows tomorrow I'll keep my views to myself.
have a nice day.
It's a new day, stop gabbling on about it, 2 posts today and both to have a dig, funny you think its you people were on about isn't it, yet there were no names mentioned.

We got nothing in Southend. Other places in Essex did quite well though. But as I say, it all starts tomorrow
Gonna have to keep everything crossed up here, think i'll see something, front acts a bit like a seesaw so have to hope it tips as high as it needs to at this end.

For goodness sake don't hype an Easterly
Anyways how did it go down there?

Don’t you think 4 years is long enough to get an insight of the typical winter snowfall situation?
Not the last bloody 4
I will admit the last few years haven't been marvelous, my daughter saw snow for the first time in a decent amount last year, she's 6.
By the age of 6 i'd learnt how to build an igloo

Agreed Chris, NNE is the one for us here in Suffolk but anything from N to E wind direction suits Norfolk. Speaking of which the 6z pipes up with an scandi high...
Awww straight Northerly gets my goat, watching every shower cross the Suffolk border and fade, unless of course you can get a belter of a wind.
06z toying again, i do think they know somethings there, they just don't quite know what, i tend to think its more likely to see something suddenly jump out in a 120-168 period.

That doesn’t happen often. It is a slush fest most winters.
You said you only been there 4 years, you'll see, keep the faith.
@Ed Stone you can stop laughing, im trying to give this lad some hope here

Yes with cold easterlies which are not that common.
This area doesn’t do well out of North Westerlies, clearly.
Trust me, get a N/NE flow off the sea and Norfolk will pile showers in all day long while the rest of the country stays dry.

No, it’s not. But that event was an extreme event not typical of this area.
Last night was more typical of this area. Just a slushy covering.
Don't be so down pal, honestly the North sea is a snow machine when it gets going N/NE flows are the mutts for Norfolk.
In my 45 years Norfolk and Suffolk have had numerous 20cm events.
Don't count anything out, you yourself said you expected a few cm and got 1, tomorrow could be the complete reverse.
-
A slight covering of a cm on most surfaces, everything frozen solid, excellent seeing reports and pics from the region, far from a bust, on to the next.

Snowing steadily here, settling ok on grass in the hour, just starting to see paving turning................Oh darn it, lampost went out.
