I'm not offended at all.... I've lived through many snowless winters both here in the south and in East Anglia and yet also had snowmeggdon (Jan 1996) in the centre of the country in Coventry. It's nothing to do with elevation and you don't need to be a met student to work that out....
Quite frankly I couldn't careless if all the snow disappeared tomorrow, just to see the smile on the faces of the children I teach for a few flakes of snow each year....
As it is the North is no more inclined to snow than any other part of the country... Family in Huddersfield have had less snow events in the last 10 years than we "in the south" have had... Friends in the far north of Scotland have had barely a snow covering all winter or in the ten years they've lived on the east coast....
The Met Office map clearly disputes that. I am from a northern region and my area receives at least one day of lying snow every winter, even during mild winters. In fact, they have already received 5-6 inches at low levels earlier this week.

whilst annoying I'm sure, you never were likely to get much snow in this set-up this time around. I know I was quite angsty last night (and I apologise for that, it somewhat soured the thread looking back at it), but I think I had a good reason to be annoyed being literally in the middle of a dry slot for 5hrs whilst everything rotated around. I also totally understand Steveinsussex being annoyed as well, due to the same thing. However I don't think you've quite as much right to be peeved.
With that being said, your time will come....it always does in the end.
I remember a guy from somewhere in the middle of the country. He barely had anything for 5 years or so. Anyway in January 2010 a potent LP came down and his location would have copped a foot of snow in that. So sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It sucks when you lose, I lost last night in a way I've never experienced before. Paul S lost in Feb 2009. But you move on and try to learn WHY you lost and that hopefully makes it easier IF anything goes wrong again.
Why not? Everyone else in the south of the region has received some form of snow over the last two days. I don't think it is unrealistic for me as a weather enthusiast to have that desire for some snow cover.
We are overdue some snow anyway - we haven't seen any snow of any decency since March of last year.

Im not offended at all, its just fairly well known that the area in and around Norwich gets regular winter showers off the N sea
Well there are showers coming in off the North Sea now and they are falling as rain (at 1c), the same thing happened on sunday night.
The map highlights North Essex as an area of greater 'days of sleet/snow falling', as I had predicted myself, a moment ago.

How do you get on with Dutch Imports? Rare?
We do best with cold Easterlies and North-Easterlies. This set up is too mild.

You are fast becoming more unlucky than @steveinsussex
I think the truth is that Norwich is poorly located for snowfall.
1. Not far from the coast.
2. Juts out past the rest of Britain.
3. Surrounded by sea to the North and East.
4. Flat land and no geographical barriers at the coast to reduce the affects of winds coming in from the North Sea.
I think a better location in East Anglia would probably be around Northern Essex. Despite being further south, the land is elevated and it is not located near the coast, so reduced marginal conditions.

I thought that when London was getting snow and nothing here
keep the faith
surprises in this set up every 6 hours it seems
Nope pure rain. If there was some sleet mixed in with it, i'd remain faithful but there's not.
-
Yep. You guessed it, pure rain in Norwich again, at 1c! Think I may go to bed, because this event is doing nothing for me.
Pretty sickening to see London getting snow and us pure rain.

Cheers, that would make sense!
I would wait and see. Temps are lower than predicted (1c), and we have seen that London etc has got some unexpected snowfall.

Some quite bizarre scenarios playing out locally here.
In short, In three different spots locally snow is falling at lower elevations with sleet and wet snow higher up!
Evaporative Cooling?

Band over se London moving southwards bu5 breaking up and weakening as i5 does so.think by midnight we will all be done although I 5hink snow showers will move into EA from midnight onwards.Certainly been an interesting day which some models have really struggled to get hold of what tbf was a developing situation.Great stuff!!
Yeah, I've noticed that. Temp here in Norwich is 0.8c so prime for snow but Euro4 shows temps of +2/3c an rain here overnight, so not sure?

Still tanking down here, that's 7 solid hours!! Looking very pretty!! As promised, following a thrilling rugby match, @DAVE ALLEN and @kold weather here's some pics. Taken ten mins ago.. This had significant built up since this afternoon when it was all melting
Not much snow for 7 hours of continuous snow fall

Think we could get some snow here if the precipitation would pep up and become more frequent. Not too far to drop.

Gues what ??? It’s absolou chucking it down with rain here STILL, it’s been all day with no let up what so ever.
My husband has left for work on the M4, he has driven about ten miles and is now stuck on the A21 in traffic due to the heavy snow. How can we keep missing all this lovely weather??? It’s frustrating. The band looks like it’s moving closer to us but it will end up just raining here, I can hear it now slamming against the windows like it’s trying to make me angry on purpose. If anyone ANYONE thinks I might gets some snow, a flake even please let me know. It’s been raining none stop her since around 3 am this morning.
Hope you get some snow!

But the temp's gone from 3.2 to 2.0C, in the last hour...just a wee morsel of hope?
Kind of fed up to be honest. Would like to move on to the next system, unless we're going to get something decent out of this.

Raining in Norwich. Odd weather.

Useless for me also but been great for others which is good to see.
Too marginal and fronts not making good progress. Think sea temps might be too mild too.
-
Looks like no snow in the forecast for me now. Temperatures rising on Monday, up to 8c. So will be looking forward to the next cold spell now, this one has been pretty useless to be honest.

One of the worst for model performance yes,as for weather winter doesn't end till middle of march if we get the right setups
I suspect we’re not done with cold, but I think we’ve extracted all we’re going to get out of this particular cold spell.
Unfortunately the wind direction and placements of the fronts have not been all that great for widespread snowfall.

Not strictly true, Brighton on the East Sussex coast had 3 inches from this event.
East Sussex isn’t in the eastern part of the region. It’s bounded by land to the north, east and west.

Hi Dave,
Looks like the METO are suggesting a possible Wash Streamer, tonight??
Regards,
Tom.
No mention of that in my forecast. I think the southerners took the last of the snow out of this cold spell.

Yes, but that was rare, let’s be honest.
I apologise if I have offended anyone. I can’t help but give my opinions.
