[General Winter Discussion]

Thanks SF - And with that i turn to Mr Murr's teleconnections guide and suddenly i feel the need for a lie down.........................!

Seriously though, i feel many users are like me and would really benifit from a very simple layman's guide (with diagrams pls!?) as to what the jet stream(s) are (eg polar, ferrell cell explained) and how they function. I'm asking a lot perhaps, but a basic reference would be great.

Cheers

Agreed - although I have some knowledge of the subject,such an explanation in simple terms would help many IMO

[Snow/wintry Precipitation Reports: 05th March]

In Ipswich,near centre currently. Moderate snow falling. Had heavy snow a time about 2am. This led to a shallow but fresh cover. Most surfaces remained covered although some melting on pavements did occur late in the night as it appeared to get slightly less cold.

From Ipswich:-

Dry since midnight until 4am. Now snowing steadily and laying widely as conditions are very icy.
