Deep snow here in Lowestoft, now starting to drift in the increasingly strong winds. Incredible scenery here and still snowing hard.

It should be with you in about 25-30 mins...
Hopefully it won't die out. I feel for the the snow starved inland, must be really frustrating to say the least.

Yeah definitely, the North Sea is alive and kicking tonight. The beast has arrived
Just now, Daniel* said:How dare you say that.
radar looking good forming into lines and heading west lovely jubbly
As the winds pick up tonight I reckon these snow showers will penetrate further inland than the last 24 hours.

Lowestoft weather did that last shower produce for you?
It's snowing heavily here now. The sky is full of the white stuff tonight, dread to think how much we'll have by the morning

Got about 4/5” on the ground and about to get walloped again. Maybe I should have hired a snow plow from the local vehicle hire garage ?

Recently lost power here due to a really heavy snow storm and associated lightning. Thick snow on the ground here now but thankfully power is back.

there is a rash of showers developing off the Norfolk/Suffolk coast and heading SW . . . which is a bit of a surprise given that we are under a direct easterly atm
bodes well for this evening and overnight which, as per previously mentioned, could mirror events of last night
Yes, the cumulonimbus clouds are shooting up very quickly to my E/NE out to Sea. Round 2 coming up soon. Bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Well I’m enjoying this cold spell. Thunder and lightning last night, then a snow storm, -5C on the coast last night, more snow to come today, gales Thursday with minus maximum temperatures and prolonged snow possible Friday and Saturday.

Stayed in lowestoft with my daughter's last year,at the highbury b&b,visited oulton broad,lovely there,had a lovely boat trip out on the broads
It is a lovely part of the World. We only moved here last year after living near Cambridge for 30 years. Looking forward to Spring now though and some beach weather.
1 minute ago, Matty88 said:As far as convective activity is concerned for us in EA/SE - the next 24-30 hours is the 'final' window before drier air gets in towards the end of tomorrow. Expect some big convection until then -hopefully for most of EA, however once this passes - if you've got no snow by 6pm tomorrow then I'm afraid the games over until the next organised system arrives Friday night...
When you say 'final window' that is 24 - 30 hours of potentially heavy snow showers which isn't too bad for this part of the World. I'd be a little more disappointed if that's all that was forecast and we lived in the North Pole. I do agree with that and the prospects of some big convection later. All the parameters are there for some locally very heavy falls and associated lightning. Yes, looking like more widespread snowfall for Friday and Saturday so everyone should see something at some point.
Going to take a walk to the beach Thursday morning when we have coastal gusts approaching 50mph, air temperatures of -2C and 850hpa temperatures of -16C. It's going to feel incredibly cold!!!!

So what enabled 1991 to see such widespread snow well inland?
Longevity of the easterly cold spell. We are a little over 24 hours into this one which explains why some aren't able to build an igloo in there garden just yet. Reports of snowfall across our region will increase as the week progresses. It's what happens as cold spells take a grip and precipitation varies in location hour by hour, day by day.
Anyway, going to take a walk up Oulton Broad later as I suspect will start freezing over with the incredibly low dew points.

Thing is, it's not particularly cold this morning, definitely not as cold as yesterday and there is zero wind compared with yesterday as well.
-8C at 08:00 in our region on 27th February is very cold. What are you expecting -50C?

The problem is that we have quite a slack flow, we need a stronger flow to aid the showers moving inland.
With the sunshine gaining strength snow showers should move further inland during the day.
These setups almost always deliver to coastal counties of Eastern England. Showers generally ease in intensity as they move inland as there is no moisture at ground level to absorb into the atmosphere. Inland will do better at the end of the week with the low pressure and more organised snowfall.
Lots of large anvils shooting up in the North Sea at present. Bodes well for later!!!

A good covering of snow here with the rarity of thundersnow last night.
Widespread minimum temperature's below -5C this morning across our region with several stations reporting -8C.
Potential for minus double digit temperature's tonight I suspect.
What will become noticeable late tomorrow is the strong to gale force east wind which is going to make it feel absolutely brutal especially with -17C 850hpa air aloft. This will feel like Siberia for sure!!
Anyway, looking forward to some more heavy snow and likelyhood of thundersnow later as big convection takes place out to sea.
I feel sorry for the members that have had little or no snow, I can sense your frustrations coming out in your attention seeking posts knocking down this rare exceptional cold spell at present. Lets hope 'for us all' that you get some snow later, so we don't have to suffer to much negativity on here.

To think I lived in that part of the world for most of my life. Great to see some proper snow falling somewhere. Also my in laws live in south Essex who have also reported quite a bit of snow. Alas I am here in Cambridgeshire hoping for a few flakes in the wind...
It really did come down, just incredible. We had about 2 inches fall in 20 minutes. Photos to follow.........

I'm trying to upload a video but it's too large sadly..... The lightning was toward Pakefield and Southwold so I think Great Yarmouth may have just missed the worst.

Just scared the hell out of me!!! Was standing outside in the heavy snow shower, then a huge flash of lightning and loud thunder! Strange sound with the snow cover and sea near by.
Big fat flakes here now.
