wow I see the high horse is still in full effect.
FYI. My interest in weather is like the American ranch cookery program I like watching. Just because the food is quite spicy and some ingredients not available in this country doesn't stop me watching it, nor does my lack of knowledge of models stop me reading the threads. The constant bicker at people like myself is uncalled for. Some of us are trying to learn and it's hard when you got so called knowledgeable members thinking it's fun to dangle carrots or feel they are somewhat superior. It is not very helpful.
I am really sorry that some of you don't like people questioning forecasts or getting upset when things don't go to plan. But this is a regional thread. I was posting to let people know at my location I still had rain, then when it changed to wet snow. If this thread doesn't want that then fine, i'll post one observation and leave it.
Can't be bothered to say anymore, apart from if it snows tomorrow I'll keep my views to myself.
have a nice day.
I didn’t rant at you, nor did I see anyone else ranting

Also 06z showing the frontal system coming back in from the west and sliding SE over the western portions of the region out through Kent. It would likely be highly marginal, though the fact it comes overnight does add an extra inch or two to the totals for some people.
So a triple top up for them then?
Lol..

This is what frustrates me about folk that live up north, they regularly just get snow showers or a brief covering whereas even getting that down south can be very rare yet they moan they don’t get snow much!
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.

You said you only been there 4 years, you'll see, keep the faith.
@Ed Stone you can stop laughing, im trying to give this lad some hope here
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.

Don't be so down pal, honestly the North sea is a snow machine when it gets going N/NE flows are the mutts for Norfolk.
In my 45 years Norfolk and Suffolk have had numerous 20cm events.
Don't count anything out, you yourself said you expected a few cm and got 1, tomorrow could be the complete reverse.
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.

I take it the 20-25cm last March is a distant memory?
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.

It’s not to be written off yet, last year we got a week of disruptive snow in the first week of March!
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.

Wasnt meant to be patronising but if you are studying Meteorology am guessing at UEA then surely you could see the Low Pressure was losing intensity (Dan calls it Upper Forcing) then you could see that the Northern Extent of the Precip was struggling and with no heavy precip at 36f dewpoints it simply wasnt going to fall as snow, as the precip shield has waxed and waned away moving out towards the east when the favourable conditions (EG Dp's around freezing were there) the precip wasnt strong enough for the Norfolk area.
I always like to go through the event after it has happened to try and see why things happened and why things never happened and wrote a paper on the infamous 2009 Snow Event that many Met Students have asked to do studies on (That event was triggered by an Inversion around the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex Coasts) that stopped the Snow from reaching the ground other than polystyrene balls with cloud tops at 37,000ft and Uppers of -14. The same Convective storms moved from the ENE to WSW and gave over a foot of snow to London.
Its all a learning process, was not meant to be patronising in any way
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.

I hear what your saying
but your making out you missed out on a right dumping
my location had snow from 8 and is still lightly snowing now
be lucky if there is a cm out there
it was always going to be marginal
the whole of our region
im just lucky that my location has fairly good elevation
not quite sure what you were expecting
Olus your a student in meteorology you are far better than me at reading the models
and I wasn’t expecting nowhere near as much as tonight
Plus no matter how good the model or the forecaster tonight was always a 100 percent a now cast situation
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.

Erm
Yes it was 100% Marginal, what forecasts have you been watching for the last few days ??
If you want to see the Video I shared from Dan yesterday it pretty much went as he said it would, a period of rain with dewpoints not condusive to snow, lowering as the undercutting cold air spread from the NW turning the rain to snow. You were just unlucky to be under the part of the precip that shrank in size and intensity meaning the evaporative cooling process did not affect your part of Norfolk. It might be a good idea to learn the mechanics and processes of weather dynamics before making statements like that
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.

Nothing marginal about that Steve
But then tonight wasn't supposed to be marginal in the East and the opposite ended up occurring.

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

You never know but it sounds like we’re in the same boat. It’s raining here but someone up the road about 3 miles away is getting snow, I’m pleased for them @snowrye but it’s still a bit frustrating
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
