Some beefy looking showers further north out of our region towards NE England. We need this precip hanging around EA to bugger off so we can get in on the convective action.

Don't worry the Willy's getting bigger

The last beast spoiled me, my expectations of this again were silly. Still nice to see snow falling though.

Just been out for a pond\snow inspection and I have to say, despite looking very pretty, the quality is v poor. Melts when I walk on it leaving muddy footprints in the grass:( I think I've been spoilt by too many trips to the Alps, expectations are high - I'd forgotten what English snow was like;) Still time for improvement though, temps about 1.5c here
With the last beast there was no mud to be seen. Was very alpine like

Woke up to a 1cm dusting here in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Classic example here of how its nonsense to suggest you cant get potent continental feeds late in season, wouldn't take much change to deliver a big dumping of snow for Inland southern areas of the UK in - YES - nearly April.
Crazy chart. If you looked at this chart not knowing the date, you would think it's mid winter not almost April!

Things beginning to look very interesting now regarding another beast/easterly.

Light snow has just started here. Just outside Bury St Edmund's, Suffolk.

The question is what is getting bigger....

Looking at the radar, where is this afternoon's possible snow supposed to move in from? Doesn't appear to be much showing up.

The precip on the south eastern flank coming up from France could be a nice little surprise, especially if it keeps pushing north towards our region.

Looks like tomorrow evening/night is our last chance of any snowfall across the region.
I was very disappointed with this beast from the east on Mon/Tues, but boy yesterday changed my opinion completely. Almost heavy snow showers nonstop all day, leaving around 6-8 inches by sunset.
This morning's snow was also a nice little surprise, and to have daytime temps of max -3 for two consecutive is amazing at any time, especially at this stage of winter.
And to top it all off today's snow drifts are a thing of beauty.
10/10 for me this cold spell.

Been snowing lightly all morning here just outside Bury St Edmund's, Suffolk. Flakes now starting to get bigger and with more intensity.

There look to be some showers pushing through Suffolk now heading in my general direction. No idea if they will hold together long enough but if they do should hopefully give at least a dusting.
Fingers crossed they don't fizzle out, but at least anything that falls now we don't have to worry about the sun
-
Hopefully we all see more in the way of showers this evening and overnight. The showers seem to be building in the north sea now, and as the winds veer round more overnight some should get further inland.
-
Looks like showers are slowly building around the Ipswich coast area. Let's see if these can grow and push inland.

I did try being realistic on this thread last week when the models were firming things up but got shot down in flames!!
Never the less - the set up is going to change slightly over the next 24 hours to hopefully provide some more widespread snowfall coverage for the region and particularly EA, before things 'dry' up from the South from tomorrow lunchtime, until Friday afternoon that is when we can all expect a good covering hopefully (until it melts on Sunday).
Hopefully we all see something over the next day or two. Was just expecting more shower activity over more of the region in all honesty.
-
Was anyone expecting showers more widely across the whole region? Because I certainly was especially with such cold uppers over a relatively warm north sea, I know some coastal counties have done well, but for the rest of us it's been very disappointing up to now to say the least.
Looks like tomorrow morning is the best hope for most of us, unless some showers can push further inland today/tonight.

On a METO forecast I saw yesterday It suggest increased showers as the feature passed to our west, but I'll leave it to the experts!
Lets hope it does anyway. Thanks for the reply

Anyone think that low in the north sea that is going to hit NE England might pep up the shower activity towards our region?

Stopped again, melting. BBC forecast just now putting emphasis on the NE to get the persistent snow Tues/Wed (right over to the NW) and hit and miss showers for the rest. Looks like the end of the week will be our best bet for something substantial.
I wouldn't worry too much what the BBC say, just keep watching the radar and surprises will come. We've already had a fair few showers today, and the instability is becoming greater as the afternoon/evening goes on.

Surely with such cold dew points and uppers the frost/dusting of snow shouldn't be thawing in the shelter from the sun?
Seems rather odd, obviously in the full sun you expect some thawing to happen, especially at this late stage of winter. But in the shade I thought the frost/snow would be safe especially with such cold uppers and dew points.

Latest radar shows a few very light showers developing around the Thames estuary/Essex coast area.
Not likely to be anything but maybe a few flakes of snow possible.
