Let_it_snow

Yep sure, sometimes you can get light flurrys without anything on the radar and yes they could very well start beefing up however im not sure it will be the case this morning anyway. Keeping my fingers crossed though. I really love the netweather Radar at this time of year its well worth paying for. PS - Just as I start looking at my radar again I see some showers perking up a little

A few tiny flakes around 10 miles south of Norwich, nothing on the radar so cant see anything coming of it.

Snowing in Norwich

only a 45min shower which was heavier than light, cars down my street are covered.

Its snowing quite nicely in Norwich. Laying too!

Was lightly snowing in Norwich when I got up this morning as well.

Check out the rain fall at 2000 and you can see why bowthorpe missed out, you will have to zoom in to Norwich. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/pws/invent/weathermap/

That pretty unlucky, the sky here looks like there is still the off shower about, blink and you might miss it though!

How strange, all of NR3 had snow! Not sure were NR5 is, must be very close though.

I am new to all this Volcano stuff but have been following the web cams now and again, seems very explosive tonight or is that fairly normal??

What a show off! He needs a new phone mind you! Some kind of party going on now!

I couldnt see what it was doing on the webcam earlier but looks like it is spewing out ash again but in the opposite direction of before.

I notice on the Air Trafic radar there are several planes that are doing zero speed at certain altitudes, I assume this is normal on this radar. http://www.flightradar24.com/

Looking at the radar it looks like some precip is heading towards Norfolk later today, anyone think it will be Snow or rain? Met office warn of snow, I am not so sure.

Dont know if anyone has any data on the 1869/70 winter but would be quite interesting if it was a cold winter. I wonder if there was any reports of Ladybirds like this in 1962/63?

I have being seeing snowflakes from when i got up this morning at 6.30am. Has not stopped yet. Moderate at times but not settling. All good though

There must be something behind this seagull theory as yet again a cold spell is on its way and yet again the segulls are far in land. They have only just turned up today but there is already 15 sitting on a roof on an industrial site I work. I only see them before a cold spell! On the cod, I am getting on a boat near Lowestoft and will be doing some cod fishing so can let you know if they are here by Sunday night, last i heard was that they were spawning so are not taking bait.

Did not want to post this in the model thread but looks as if it is going to get a bit exciting from Sunday onwards. Can anyone give an rough idea of when the snow is like to start if we have the precip about........going sea fishing off Lowestoft on Sunday so would be nice to know.

Snowing in Norwich for a while now.

My mood today with the models is 'OH MY GOD I DON'T BELEIVE IT' Can we have a new thread called the above so that I can just post 'OH MY GOD I DON'T BELEIVE IT' every run? Call it the therapy thread!

I think the good thing is that we always seem to get some of the members going for a colder solution on the ensembles on or around the 8th Feb which must mean that the possiblity of cold is no way near from being binned.

Models are so confusing, i am no expert with model watching however i can normally get an idea of how things will turn out even though i cannot judge FI at all. At the moment because FI is at such a short range I really have not got a clue whats going on to the point were I have not looked at the models for about a week. I just read what the more knowledgable have to say. But when the charts change so dramatically every day and in some instances every run I really have to say I just want to pull my hair our, rip all my clothes of and run down the street naked.....is that wrong? One minute we are getting 'The Beast from the east' and the next its all mild and the game is....... almost up for anything cold and then its all change back to a raging easterly. When I looked at the ensembles the other day the mean was below -5 850 uppers for the whole run. How can it change its mind so dramatically in such a short time. I would expect the models to pick up on the general trend and then slowly move away from that trend but its literally good for cold then good for mild. I dont know how much longer I can bare to keep reading the model thread but obviously like the rest of you I will. Seriously confused, disorientated and dazed!

Quite a good covering here now and lots more on the way it seems

Not settling then?

I thought the net-weather radar was good, it shows rain over my current location however it is actually sleet and snow at times Not complaining though! Some nice huge flakes in the mix too......
