NorthNorfolkWeather

Countryfile weather was interesting, North Norfolk will not do too well, London looks as though it could do really well What I liked was the "This will be a severe event, maybe even an extreme event" Now is that hype or truth? The BBC have a very fine line to tread

I'm with you all the way on that, the Beeb seem to be about 12 hours behind in saying when snow will fall. This morning, when we were having the first of our showers, the forecaster on BBC News Channel was saying "No Snow till late in the day". Radar was showing showers!!

And looking at the Radar, we will not have much more for a couple of hours at least, the wind is really biting now

Isn't that low quite a bit further south? And more in the way of short waves?

And 850 Temps of -10 across the Norfolk/Suffolk coast at 09:35

Current Extra Radar timed at 09:00.

No one but the Dutch understand Dutch That's their expected run, so I'll be happy

Nope, don't think 110 Metres will calss as high ground, I'm 60 miles North of you but slightly lower 45 Metres, so the distance North will almost certainly not help. If the triple point is 50 miles east, we'll be under a LOT of snow, otherwise we'll get something to start with, but it may not last

Well, in truth even the models get it wrong at times. I'm only about 6 miles from the North Norfolk coast, so I need plenty of wind to drive the showers. Haven't had serious snow here since Jan 1987, then we were cut off for a week, I live in hope!! As far as the models are concerned, I've noticed, on the rare occasions we have had easterly snow, it seems to start from about 04:00, so my guess is we'll get a dusting tomorrow during the day, starting some time after lunch and if we get anything serious, it will not happen until Monday, starting early We Shall See

Clear Sunny, Frost on ground cold easterly Temp 1C

There's a very interesting article on the Warming of Western Antarctic in http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/01/21/anta...n-of-viewpoint/ There has been a switch in the way that it's been recorded with different baselines, i.e. satellite data as opposed to ground station data. Difference is "only" 20 years of data. Note also that there are a string of volcano's on the Western side of Antarctia Also, look at the second article on wattsupwiththat http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/01/22/anta...-in-antarctica/ Which is a brave man actually saying what many people feel.

What's the greatest warming that's been recorded? It seems to me that if this is a major SSW (and with the temperature increase I cannot see it being anything else) there will be "Somewhere" experiencing record cold in the next 10-15 days. They have aleady have some record lows in the US this year (Maine and Illinios) could this take them even lower? What are the odds of China suffering similar problems as last year with lots of disruption due to snowfall, perhaps the difference will be that the problems will be at the end of the holiday for new year, not at the beginning

I'll go for lower than that for the month, if the SSW carries on, we may have a -1 or less
