Ignore.

Your analogy is wrong, more evidence just whittles down the suspect list. If all you had was a partial print, you'd have alot more suspects than if you had a thumbprint and DNA evidence. Which is much the same with the weather, data is essential, if something is missing data than you naturally have to be wary of it's results especially when everything is unpredictable. If it manages to luck into being right with less data, it does not make the idea that less data is more right, it just means that the model was right that time. With the models being unable to pinpoint anything right now, surely you'd be more confident if a model had more data being fed into it? Rather than confident of something that has less. I just cannot see why anyone would put more stock into the 06z/18z at this very time unless the results it spews out aligns with your own weather bias.

Can we please stop with the *insert weather type* is due theories please. There is no such thing as something being due, the probability of something does not increase because it's not happened in a while, if that was so then we'd be due a '63 type winter by that logic, but we're not.

The way the wind is gusting if this flakes weren't dust sized, we'd be watching a whiteout right now.

It's been coming down pretty nicely, paths are getting a good covering. But the road outside my house isn't, too much traffic me thinks. My two dogs have just had fun in their first ever snowfall, the little one thinks snow is for eating.

I know, but others have cms and inches, it's just started here .

Just kicked off, so let's see where it takes us.

We have the wind for it, just needs the flakes.

It's barely noticeable snizzle, but snizzle all the same.

SNIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE SNIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about bloody time too.

I want it to get obliterated, decimated, crushed into a billion little pieces, or better yet relocated to Aberdeen or Durham or wherever gets the most from thames streamers, just so they can know our pain.

The Snow-shield at full force.

The thing is we've had the wind for a fair few hours now. It's a coastal town, wind is the norm.

I'll believe it when I see it .

None whatsoever, the wind is blustering about, but no sign of anything wintry yet.

Be thankful you have dandruff, some of us are still waiting for snizzle.

Current radar update has the Lowestoft Snow-shield shown perfectly.

I want to make a hot coco for the night's watching but what with the front taking it sweet time getting here, I don't want to jump the gun. Stupid land getting in the way of slowing things down and weakening the front.

And miss a second os snow? Sounds mad to me. I say just stay up and see it through.

Ahem. Clacton is not the furthest east thank you very much.

A conditions update for my road before the snow arrives. Temperature: -0.1 °C Dew Point: -3.1 °C Humidity: 80% Wind Speed: 27.4km/h / Wind Gust: 56.3km/h / Wind: SSE Pressure: 1025.6hPa

I will say this, the one positive about being in Lowestoft that if there's any discussions about needing to be east for colder air, I know I'll get cold air .

Nope, we had some last night into the morning, but was only a light dusting. Still waiting on this front to hit me, it's agony watching it move so slowly.

That's a shame, I used to be a Chef, so I'll be making my own .

I think a fish pie is in order for snow watching, proper comfort food for us coastal coldies.
