  1. This is probably the easiest way to describe it! (for tonight's snow anyway)
  2. I wouldn't bet on it. Good chance tonight, and further chances right to the end of this week. OK no deep snow on the cards, but we have a better chance of a cm or two tonight and the next few days than we have over the past 5/6days
  3. Always need a bit of luck when it comes to snow! I'm a firm believer in Karma.....and I've done 3 good deeds today, so hopefully that will help haha I come past your part of the world daily at the moment on my travel to work in Gorleston. I'll be passing about 7am. If I get snow I'll stick some in a cool box and save it for you incase you miss out
  4. The latest few radar updates show the showers pepping up in North Norfolk. Could be quite an attractive radar picture in an hour or two! My part of Suffolk usually does well from a northerly or north easterly. I'm far enough from the coast for it to be cold, but not so far that we miss the showers (hope I haven't just jinxed it!!) Now -0.7C here. Time to light the woodburner ready for an evening of radar watching! Good luck everyone
  5. A lovely winter's day here. Some late afternoon sunshine and now the frost is setting back in again. Currently -0.4C (High today was only 2.5C despite the sun.
  6. I think I would rather it was sunny cold and frosty rather than this. Lots of snow showers pushing in but with the temperature now at 1.2C everything is just melting as soon as it hits the ground.....as it has done all night. If the temperature had been just a degree lower it would have been a very wintry scene here this morning. had 10.2mm since this started yesterday evening.
  7. Heavy snow here again now at 0.9C. Temperature has stayed around 1C since 5pm yesterday. Nothing settling. Just a cold wet mess everywhere.
  8. 0.9C and sleeting.....the same as it's been doing the past 12 hours. Miserable!
  9. It was heavy snow for about an hour and a half, from about 3.30 until 5. Since then it's turned to rain or sleet in the heavier bursts. 5mm of rain now. If only that had all been settling snow! On the plus side the temp is dropping again, down for 0.9C to 0.6C in the past 15 mins.
  10. Went from very heavy snow for about an hour (gave a cm or so everywhere, even on the roads), turned to drizzle now, snow gone and temperature now rising Currently 0.8C Metoffice seem to think showers will be back to snow after midnight with accumulations
  11. Had some light snow here about 7.30 when I woke up, has given everything a dusting. Temperature -0.7C
  12. 0.3C here now and still dropping slowly. The nice thing about this nice dry air and a breeze is that the roads soon dry out. Think I may wash the car tomorrow, it might stay clean for at least a day!
  13. Temperature dropping off quickly here now. Hovered about 2.5C until an hour ago, now 0.8C
  14. Well the national BBC forecast and local Anglia forecast both showed sleet/snow over much of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex tonight. Anglia weather described it as a "system" - presume it must be a trough then (possibly the one forming to the east of Scotland at the moment that I mentioned earlier?)
  15. Haha, I know I know. If the uppers are cold enough the showers seem to pop up regardless. I remember one event about 6 or 7 years ago, we had a very light easterly flow which built a few very slow moving showers, not particularly heavy but they didn't move far. We got about 4 inches that afternoon and evening.
  16. Just noticed that over the past hour heavy showers have developed out of nowhere east of Edinburgh - a trough? I know it's a long way away, but shows instability is there over the North Sea with the fresh push of cold air from the north.
  17. **Cough Cough** - don't forget Norfolk and Suffolk - our best wind direction for snow is a North Easterly - we tend to very well in these set-ups (except right on the coast) as the showers still have plenty of poke about them before they head further inland.
  18. So what happened to the 5, 6 or even 7C being forecast today by the Beeb? 0.6C here in Mid-Suffolk. Doesn't feel as cold as yesterday though thanks to the wind dropping.
  19. Same here TEITS. It gaining in size and intensity slowly. it also looks on a course to pass in a line roughly through Peterborough, Ely, and out through Suffolk.
  20. Really dark now in Gorleston and snowing heavily - starting to settle and turn everything white. Unfortunaely is looks like at home in mid-suffolk it's missing all the showers!
  21. Just got snow in Gorleston near Great Yarmouth - and i'm only half a mile from the coast!
  22. Details of the earthquake now on BBC news website. Epicenter near Cottesmore, Rutland. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31032930
  23. 2.1C here now and still dropping. Annoyingly I don't have a clue what the dew point is as my hygrometer has decided to go down on my Davis - it's certainly picked its time to do it!
  24. Anybody see the Look East forecast? Showed plenty of showers over the rest of this week and into the weekend for Cambs, Beds, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex
  25. I thought I saw a flash earlier when I was passing Eye up the A140....thought it was my eyes deceiving me.
