    As soon as winds converge then it can start to force uplift, convection/clouds etc....these then flow along the line of convergence. Believe it or not 50 miles can be a huge distance in this sort of set up, which ends up pretty localised!
  2. mb018538
    Convergence lines can be very localised and narrow.....if nothing changes with wind direction for a period of time then they will follow a narrow track.

    All pot luck. One streamer dies away as the winds change and a new one sets up for as long as the winds align and converge again. Impossible to say where these will exactly line up.

    My streamer is dying off completely! New one on radar from Yarmouth running SW. this will happen all night!

    It’s doppler radar, hence why flying ants etc get picked up in summer as ppn. Same for blowing snow.

    Running the radar from 7-8ish, snow really seems to be fading pretty much just before it hits my patch. I’d imagine Mildenhall way must be having some decent snow?

    Latest fax has the current streamer that’s roughly into my locale on too

    Starting to settle now in CB1. Streamer has lined up here well enough! IMG_5501.MOV

    Winds are still more from the NE in our patch at the moment. Showers converging into streams at present.

    A light dusting on parts of the ground here in Cambridge. Only just covered, but a start I guess....

    1 - computer generated forecast, so why even follow it when it’s known they struggle in a snow set up. 2 - there is snow a matter of miles from you! It’s covering a broad area.
  12. mb018538
    Absolutely!

    Nice steamer setting up to my NE and heading this way. Snowing lightly outside now, awaiting a bit more hopefully!
  14. mb018538
    Colder and drier air. Wet snow usually clumps together in bigger flakes, often on weather system boundaries/fronts etc.

    Similar in Cambridge - had dandruff snow blowing in the air most of the afternoon despite the dry radar echoes. Nothing to really sing and dance about like most.

    Also looks like showers feeding in from the wash/N Norfolk heading NE-SW on latest radar too.

    This This is why it’s ideal to get these set ups from say mid to late December to late January. Sunset is out to 5pm now, and that extra hour of daylight and increasing solar input in the afternoons makes a big difference. Not massively in early feb, but still a factor.

    This graphic from Dan Holley looks more on the money. I don’t think north Norfolk was ever in the sweet spot really

    It hasn’t missed. The front is sitting pretty much as advertised and dumping a lot of snow in the amber areas. Problem is everybody In that amber zone expects 10-20cm, when it’s not going to be that way. Wait until the end and evaluate, not the other way around.
  21. mb018538
    Think we may have to wait for darkness for sticking snow in many areas. Just not coming down quick enough!
  22. mb018538
    Yeah I think so too. The frontal stuff just won’t make it here. Zilch so far, going to have to go some to get the few cms forecast!
  23. mb018538
    Looking like I’m going to be too far west for anything really. Shame as forecasts went for 2-5cm here! Hope you guys in the sweet spot further east get pasted!
  24. mb018538
    Certainly possible - all luck though, much like thunderstorms in summer! Some places might see a string of snow showers, others may miss out. Keep an eye on the radar on the day is the best tool to use.
  25. mb018538
    It’s just a small scale feature that’s going to run across that SE corner before sliding away. The surface easterly winds won’t blow the front further inland unfortunately! You’d be really pushing it for snow in Bicester....may see a little bit of lucky, but not a great deal. Too far west.
