I have to give it to Paul B (i think?) for forecasting this much better than the BBC have done so far!

[snowray]

Sunny here now, here they come, more clumps of cloud in the distance!

Nice bit of PPN in the Thames Estuary right now on the radar, start of out Streamer I hope,

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

Fine with unbroken sunshine here at the moment.

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

TEITS== the other day you wrote about chucking a bucket of water down and depending how quickly it drys depends on the dew point???

I'd really like to try this ,, and if it doesn't dry i'll get a ice rink for kids

Here in North Norfolk, we have had some heavyish snow showers since 9.30 this morning giving a slight covering. Temps and dewpoints all over the shop. At 830 this am we had a temp of 2C, dewpoint of -6 and a strong wind. In the snow, temps dropped to 0.5C, dewpoint increased to -1C and the wind dropped slightly. Now we have a clearance, the temp is 1C, dewpoint -5C and the wind has increased again!

Yes Stu

Perfect wind Direction, Perfect Dewpoints, Colder Uppers now arriving, have seen this set up many times before and in my experience these showers will line up and keep getting heavier, expecting a covering by this evening before the REALLY Heavy Showers keep going overnight. Was noting about an hour ago how the convection was starting and this is now apparant on the radars, all good for areas further West of here towards London.

Hi Donna_M i should try it now the temp has dropped 0.5c in the last half hour to 1.3c and the dew point stands at -3.5c and in this wind i would expect it to dry pretty quick

[moogyboobles]

I just woke up, ran to the window and it's snowing! Yay!

[Timmytour]

Few bits of snow blowing in the wind here now...

[Paul Sherman]

There is a much heavier Shower now to my SE, Which looks like it has N Kents name on it.
