Lovely!

I didn’t rant at you, nor did I see anyone else ranting

So a triple top up for them then? Lol..

Some more photos from home.

I am from a Northern area of the UK. We do get snowfall every year but it is only for a few days per winter on average. I have noticed the lack of snow here and the fuss the locals make when it does snow.

Don’t you think 4 years is long enough to get an insight of the typical winter snowfall situation?

That doesn’t happen often. It is a slush fest most winters.

Yes with cold easterlies which are not that common. This area doesn’t do well out of North Westerlies, clearly. If you want snow in the UK you are better off living north of Manchester, where a snow fall is semi frequent and guaranteed every winter.

No, it’s not. But that event was an extreme event not typical of this area. Last night was more typical of this area. Just a slushy covering.

I’m not holding out on that in this place!! Can’t even manage a cm.

This is the snow at my parents house. Look at what I’m missing out on.

Any events after this one? Or should we focus on spring weather?

Think we learned our lesson after yesterday. I’ll not be getting reeled in by this.

Well, I have monitored snow events in this area for the past few years and there seems to be quite often a barrier to snowfall here that does not happen elsewhere. Often it seems to snow in Ely, Peterborough and Cambridge, whilst we receive rainfall. I recall an event last year where Hertfordshire received 1 foot of snow and up here, we had flooding. I have also seen events that looked to produce heavy snowfall through showers produce heavy rainfall (Sunday was an example). There just seems to be something stopping snowfall in this area, and i'm not sure what it is. I understand that the wind direction has an affect, but events seem to fizzle out also. You would think that this area would be best located for snowfall in East Anglia, but it is not.

The models have not been very accurate for this area, recently. The EURO4 predicted snowfall on Sunday night, we received heavy rain all night, with a temp of 2c. The EURO 4 also predicted snowfall for this area this evening and overnight. None of the models from what I can remember predicted snowfall in Central Eastern England and rainfall in Eastern East Anglia tonight.

The point that I was making was that we in East Anglia, particularly the eastern side were due to receive snowfall. There were many posts yesterday and earlier today that referenced the fact that the western regions would have marginal conditions due precipitation starting there just before dusk, those same posts also stated that precipitation would fall as snow for a longer duration the further east one went. What occurred was heavy snowfall over the central regions i.e. Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and light drizzly rain over Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. You have just stated yourself that the event did not come to pass as predicted. We have now transitioned to snowfall, I don't know what will come with this but at the moment it is not lying aside from on the grass. If the event on Thursday were affecting me I wouldn't be as downbeat. If Thursday's event comes to play as predicted, that will be the third snowfall event that has turned into a damb quib here. Very disappointing.

But then tonight wasn't supposed to be marginal in the East and the opposite ended up occurring.

Ok, so we in Norfolk missing out on snow yet again. How,horribly unfair.

We have changed over to snow and down to 0.8c, but it is very, very wet. Just going to wait and see what happens over the next hour.

Down to 0.9c and very wet. should I hold out and see if it sticks or give up and move on?

Still sleety rain 1.3c

Flakes of snow in the rain. But not turning

Light sleety rain now
