Not that I believe these to be accurate, but when you Google search your weather and it says snowstorm which lasts basically all day. It doesn't get much better than that does it
That’s worth saving as a screensaver!

Looking a bit better for my neck of the woods
Hope you’re right mate it’s a rare thing snow in Cambs off an Easterly. It was looking good yesterday but now as usual it’s trended a bit East for my liking .

I think that was the "wrong type of snow" event
Remember the news said it was so powdery that it got inside the electrical circuits of the trains and caused problems.

I was living in Heybridge , and had just passed my driving test the Oct before.
I was seeing a fella in bradwell on sea, and told my dad I was going to drive down there.... in all that snow.
needless to say I wasn’t allowed, for a huge b****climb for even suggesting it.
the road from maldon to bradwell on sea, once past latchingdon, is a bit remote and bleak...and flat! The drifts would have been ridiculous.
Live up near a Danbury now, rural and high up , so I’m hoping for some decent snow this weekend.
I was in Braintree at the time, I remember my friend from Maldon said it was at least 15 inches deep there.

Is it my imagination, or are the birds particularly vocal today? I've also heard quite a few seagulls overhead..... maybe I'm just looking for portents!
I noticed this late yesterday, maybe a reaction to the longer days creeping in?
Or they’ve seen the Meto update-

he sounds like he hasn't got a clue what he is on about
He was right though!
There was over a foot of snow, I remember it was so deep my bike wheels were getting stuck in the snow. -

Amazing to think this is going to start pretty much to the hour from the 1991 spell almost exactly 30 years ago to the day
I remember that Thursday on the 7th Feb 1991 being sent home from work around Midday and leaving London which had a dusting and getting pretty much the last train out of Liverpool Street to get home to about 5cm that had already fallen at the start of that spell.
Does anyone have the charts for the 7th Feb 1991 ?
The greatest forecast I’ve ever seen.....As a teenager living in Essex I was going bezerk. The nonchalant manner he describes temps rising from minus 11 to minus 5

This cold spell could be so good it might even lead to independence for the East Anglians on the regional threads as in other notable years!!!
Was never quite sure which I belongs to when the south East and the East Anglian regions split.... I always felt a bit like a Cornish nationalist shouting in the wind whenever I suggested a Northern Home Counties threadLol yes when you’re on the border of the region it’s a bit like that.

FWIW here is a GFS 06z parallel, its not drastically different from the -6z ECM, core just a little further SW:
Some huge amounts again showing up over East Anglia, but also through much of the N/Home counties. Even the south coast at 3-5cms which I think most would take down there.
Seen many a time as fronts or troughs travel down from the North during cold spells etc they seem to die a death when reaching the SE.
Would you say the dynamics of this low are a bit different as in it’s strengthening thus forecasting more precipitation?

Quite the upgrade from ECM 06z on Sunday with southern and western extent. Possibly a concerning situation in East Anglia with the strong easterly winds the drifts will be quite something.
Snow from the East hardly ever makes it to Western parts of East Anglia, however this looks pretty good, let’s hope

Been working since 06:45 and just peeked at the models.
Jeezus wept the ECM snow depths for Sunday, hypothetical of course but shades of 1947 total bonkers

Just a hunch but I feel us in Cambridge will miss out again, this time because we're too far West to benefit from Sunday's low (necessary in order to bring in colder uppers) and not coastal enough to benefit from showers thereafter. Hopefully I'm wrong!
My experience of Easterly’s in Huntingdon for the last 20 years is bone dry and cold.
However I’m now a bit further East nearer Cambridge like yourself so we can only hope. -

Profile details are coded in to the forum software to be supported on mobile devices in landscape mode. Unfortunately, that's a problem for the browser/device you're using.
Fair enough mate, that explains it.
Still hammering it down in Cambourne Cambridge, heaviest snow of the day and it’s all settling

As said above.. turn your mobile device around to landscape mode and it'll show people's locations.
it’s a clever idea but mine still don’t show location.
As screenshot shows.

guys, can we add locations instead of ‘here’..? Thankyou.
Cambourne mate. Not sure why the mobile version don’t include locations. Maybe that’s something Netweather can look into?

Same here I lived in Essex till I was 19 years old, saw all the classic events 1978/79 86, 87 and 91
The only thing about being West is it’s sometimes better for frontal snow, but too dry for Easterlies.
