Feeling humid in east coast of Suffolk too

My folks on the IoW have seen some lightning already, think you are in luck for tonight.

It's ok Southern, truth be told I'm just jealous of what you're in for tonight

Like a new thread will make any difference!

As the old saying goes, red sky at night storm chasers delight...

This has just popped up in s.e. suffolk...

Interesting reading about the gulf stream changes, this paper here may be of further interest to some: https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/qj.2907 Web results The Gulf Stream influence on wintertime North Atlantic jet variability

Depends whether we get frosts too, high pressure depending on orientation could yield high diurnal ranges so maybe not all bad, although current modelling does show even warmth during the night over the next ten days..

Another good guide is the Weatherquest forward look, our @staplehurst is often presenting. They have a really good ensemble model based look at t+ 1,2,3,4 weeks, called this current spell well too.

Close the freezer door Nick!

Been a good event here maxed out with almost 30cm, surpassed my expectations and brought some cheer to what has otherwise been a testing time. Commiserations to those less fortunate, I know this event has been far less generous in it's distribution so for those still waiting for snow good luck and there's still a few weeks of winter opportunities yet. Forgot to add my ratings....doh Snow 8.5/10 Temperature 7/10

Well a slow thaw set in earlier today where and when the sun broke through. Still a good covering though on the south west facing back garden as the attached picture shows, fifth day of lying snow and bitterly cold now as the sun sets. Been a memorable snow event here but be pleased to feel some warmth from the weekend and begin the next chase.

Hello mate. Yes unfortunately the bloody sun made an appearance for a few hours during the day so it did shave some cm's off. Some cracking icicles though from the melting snow on roof and guttering. Its still an impressive depth though and probably just had a 1-2 cm top up from the last shower. Tomorrow I'm expecting the thaw to set in.

Absolute beast of a shower here at the moment, really coming down hard.

Could help develop heavier snow so hope it keeps going!

Yeah I went out and did a garden measurement earlier and we had 20cm of level snow, considering some had sublimated I think we probably have had 25cm in total. Good event here, genuinely hope that those away from coastal areas can get some today and tomorrow. Good luck!

Nuff said!

Which bit of Ipswich are you? I'm going to do a final measure tomorrow morning..

Phenomenal this Bill, I'm also E.Ipswich and its just relentless.

Won't we all

Have had a good 3-4cm top up here from that blob that kept on giving. Picked up around 4pm and lasted for 3 hours or so, most welcome. Just had a spell though where rather than flakes it was ice falling, I guess thats due to the upper warm front creating a layer where snow flakes melt then refreeze, caused a bit of drama when I heard it but am pleased to say flakeage has resumed.. Another long night of lamp post, radar and window watching. And I think if I open the front door one more time to marvel at it my Mrs may well kill me!!!

Yep, its currently as per video which I've just taken. 6/10 on the Suffolk snow scale. MOV_0221.mp4

Yep settling on gritted main road again

Looks like a case of egos damaged more than anything..

Ha this one appears to have gone through a brick wall!!!
