Well been under the streamer all morning, was all fine flakes but now has suddenly picked up a bit with bigger flakes. Not exactly white out conditions but was expecting zilch here so very nice to look at.

A decent 2cm covering in Ely this morning, very fine - powdery snow which is not a common occurrence in these parts!
Looking good for more top-ups through today. Currently snowing lightly with some moderate bursts at times. Overall - happy! It took it's time but the set-up has delivered. This snow should be sticking around for quite some time looking at the latest charts...
Good to see snow starved Cambs getting some from an Easterly for change!
Forecast looking pretty good too, currently moderate snow here settling on all surfaces.-

I've refrained myself but God this is frustrating. Missed everything all day bar the odd graupal shower, finally landed a streamer but it vanished into thin air within an hour or two, leaving less than a cm. Same close but no cigar show as late Jan, early Jan and early Dec. Grrrgh! Anyway rant over and hope again for tonight/tomorrow
Keep chin up mate you never know another streamer may line up over us.

Latest fax has the current streamer that’s roughly into my locale on too
There was a Twitter post on here today that mentioned energy/convergence backing through the region overnight, I can’t find it though as so many pages have mounted up.

Good to see and agonisingly close!

Heard that before - THE STORMS HAVEN'T EVEN ARRIVED YET!
ps this is from Stelling Minnis, near Sellindge. But it is 500-550ft above sea level
Beautiful area, where I’ve always wanted to live.

Yes but this is a now acting event. The radar is building precip further north than the hi res modes have been showing.
Great signs as it brings more of the region in the game.

Don't panic! The UK radar network does not pick up precipitation that is happening on mainland Europe and if we look at the Sat24 latest radar return we can see the snow band over the Low Countries is just departing the Dutch coastline on its journey towards us. Unfortunately their radar app doesn't distinguish between rain/sleet/snow, but it will be snow when it gets here in the early hours of Sunday.
You can follow progress here: https://en.sat24.com/en/eu/rainTMC
You’re in a good spot to get clobbered with snow, but not sure it’ll reach Cambs, good luck!

That's the best forecast yet - literally just starting to turn sleety! I think we're outside of the real fun and games zone here the next few days but keeping everything crossed.
Yes the radar looks like it’s clearing from the East typically just as the cold is turning it to snow. Well we may catch a streamer in a couple of days here’s hoping.

Even though i'm in one of the sweet spots, slap bang in the middle of the amber warning area, I have a horrible feeling that most of the snow is going to end up further east and south and be a Kent/Essex only affair tomorrow. Call me pessimistic but have been disappointed too many times before.
A very interesting week coming up. With winds falling lighter towards the end of the week and deep cold well entrenched, we are going to see some severe overnight frosts over those areas with good snow cover.
I lived in Saxmundham and Lieston for a while absolutely beautiful part of the country the Suffolk coast and have never lived anywhere as nice.
I think you’ll be ok for a bit of snow.

But isn’t this personal interpretation what the mod thread is all about? Generally you could say their track record is not very good on many occasions. But that might be because the data on offer has a wide spread. Also the media weather forecasts are based on different models with some saying the BBC isn’t much good nowadays.
Until you see it actually happen nobody is entirely sure what weather we will get.
We can keep our fingers crossed for a good dump. Plenty of snow as well.
Yes mate hope we get some I think you’re quite well placed for a few cm’s

Just posted on the MOD thread with pictures, but the ICON-EU 09z run is slightly further NW and produces a little more snow compared to its 06z run.
Argh no don’t make me look in there again...

But isn’t your view influenced by the data being fed to you?
If I watch the Met office weather forecast then the data I’m receiving is being put across to me with human interpretation.
For example it may snow or it could reach here etc.
An app just works in black and white, without the grey areas that so often come with the chaotic nature of weather.
-
Also the only weather app I use on a phone is radar.
The rest are useless as they’re only as good as the data that’s fed in to them.

Chances here in Cambridge?
Few days ago the front was forecast to intensify and push up westwards right across E anglia, however now looks like we’re only just on the edge of the precipitation.
BBC forecast also stated that there’s uncertainty on how far West it’s going to reach.You could view this either way of course.
So just going to expect nothing now so any snow will be a nice surprise.

Funny little coincidence we both end up in a similar part of Cambridgeshire! 38 years in Essex so seen it all good and bad weather wise there (and non weather!), 1987 was what really got me passionate about the weather, we had just about everything that year, I thought that was just standard weather as an 8 year old! 91 was epic.. thought we were about to celebrate 30 years anniversary in style... but still I guess anything could happen now at this range. Hoping for some more snowy bin pics from you.
Agree, I also thought that Easterlies were a normal part of winter as there was a run of them during the 1980s
