Defo a drive upto Biggin Hill Then

Shoreham Airport is mighty Impressive for 20z -3c Temp -5c Dewpoint Wonder how low Benson will go tonight if it keeps clear skies

Cheers Jon And yep I know you will out down some country lane walking to the Local pub with your book ready to read in front of a roaring fire

Yh sorry Darren that's only for East Anglia would be good to see a Map for areas South and West of the Thames agree

Latest from Dan - And bear in mind he is getting far more info than what we see and it is fresh off the bat not like the recorded Met and BBC efforts from hours ago This Map looks on the money to me

Rude Oh believe me that wasnt rude that was polite. Move on look at some charts and have a go at a forecast yourself

No Probs - Ask some of the others

Am sure you know the answer to that being a Met Student, Its not hard to work out, Or do you mean the Saturday Risk

Thats just Guy Fawkes's way of getting some Rain and Mild on a map, it must be killing him to talk of snow through gritted teeth poor lad

Not expecting much in SE Essex just a dusting but go about 45 miles (As the Crow Flies) South and West to say Junction 6 of the M25 and it should be a whole lot better. One of those fronts that edges North and East from the SW and loses intensity the further North and East it goes, seen these set ups countless times and never ever have we done well from it in Essex. Saturday might be our saving grace with the NW Moving Precip from La Frrance

Looks great for you guys down in the South West - Good luck and for gods sake dont sit at a computer get out and enjoy it!

When Mother Nature picks on me whilst chasing Tornadoes in the Spring I go outside cry a bit throw a tantrum esp when the Tornado happens on a storm 50 miles South of me What I am getting at is with Ma Nature it's not personal every event is different and it's pot luck where the Lps go and where the Precip falls You are sounding hard done by and you really are not as Dan says parts of Norfolk had just under a foot from an Easterly 11 months ago

Dewpoints will save most of us Ranging from -2c to -4c throughout, -6 Uppers will get it done

You explained it better than me Dan - Thanks

Wasnt meant to be patronising but if you are studying Meteorology am guessing at UEA then surely you could see the Low Pressure was losing intensity (Dan calls it Upper Forcing) then you could see that the Northern Extent of the Precip was struggling and with no heavy precip at 36f dewpoints it simply wasnt going to fall as snow, as the precip shield has waxed and waned away moving out towards the east when the favourable conditions (EG Dp's around freezing were there) the precip wasnt strong enough for the Norfolk area. I always like to go through the event after it has happened to try and see why things happened and why things never happened and wrote a paper on the infamous 2009 Snow Event that many Met Students have asked to do studies on (That event was triggered by an Inversion around the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Coasts) that stopped the Snow from reaching the ground other than polystyrene balls with cloud tops at 37,000ft and Uppers of -14. The same Convective storms moved from the ENE to WSW and gave over a foot of snow to London. Its all a learning process, was not meant to be patronising in any way

Erm Yes it was 100% Marginal, what forecasts have you been watching for the last few days ?? If you want to see the Video I shared from Dan yesterday it pretty much went as he said it would, a period of rain with dewpoints not condusive to snow, lowering as the undercutting cold air spread from the NW turning the rain to snow. You were just unlucky to be under the part of the precip that shrank in size and intensity meaning the evaporative cooling process did not affect your part of Norfolk. It might be a good idea to learn the mechanics and processes of weather dynamics before making statements like that

Nothing marginal about that Steve

Thanks for putting in your location, just to confirm was not talking about the radar earlier sorry for the confusion Sarah. Crossed wires I think Thursday looks a lot better for all the region as much less marginal unless you are within 5-10 miles of the Coast. And it should be more solidly 2-5cm across the board.

Was just finding it interessting that when the Cold Undercut occured there was a narrow strip of Dewpoints that stayed around 1-2c from Mid Kent through SE Essex and up into Suffolk and Norfolk probably brought about by the SE Onshore flow which kept it as rain longer in those areas. The map that was shon earlier shoed it brilliantly - Dont know where your neck of the woods is as you dont have a location on your profile

Actually scrap that all proper snow now, not heavy but looks nice in the Lamp Post across the street

Yh not too bothered about tonight, most of it would have been gone by 10am anyways. Its still 80/20 in favour of rain here.

Nope, Nada Annnnnnd Onto Thursday

Bit dubious of the 5cm here

Think Stevenage is winning tonight, unconfirmed (No Pictures) of a 5cm report on Twitter - Anyone confirm ??
