A few flakes here, blink and miss it affair.

Reports of snow further east in the county such as Thrapston, but here in Northampton town itself, hardly notable as of 1651.

The 'A' roads should be ok due to the continuous flow of traffic, but they will be gritted to be on the safe side. There will be a ground frost later on , so the gritting be be handy.

Side roads may experience a few cms of snow.

The MetO are going to release an updated weather warning within the hour

Temp is now 3c and it's still snowing here

Well it should be on its way down here soon then! <_<

[Sno' problem]

My netweather radar is saying rain for me but its definitely snow.... I've just been out to check! Its actually getting a bit heavier as I type.

Anyone else having this problem?

It happens, it is going by the latest local observations among other things, so when it is borderline it often gets it wrong.

Can't blame it really

Heavy snowfall right now and temp has dropped to 2.5c

I'm heading back home to near Framlingham tonight, so i'm wondering the same. I won't be back until 10 pm or so, so could be tricky by that time.

Well. I am 5 miles from Framlingham and apart from an inch on the first day last week we have seen nothing of any consequence - mind you, with weather from a SW direction we seldom do.

It is easterlies that normally bring us any snow. This is a northerly source and although the radar suggests we will get hit this time I am not so sure - it smells like another damp squib at the moment.

East Suffolk watchers have developed an "I'll beieve it when I see it" stance, and have learned the hard way not to believe everything people tell us - particularly weather men! (and people from Norfolk).

Several Suffolkers post on here so check again before you leave if poss to see if anbything has changed, but at the moment it is overcast and DRY.

Blizzard conditions here, a total whiteout.

The local council have just called out the National Guard (amazing because I didn't think we had a National Guard) to help clear the fluffy flakes from Mrs. Matthew's Gnome's noses. It's total chaos here, one old guy reckons that he hasn't seen such severe conditions as this since the time Mount Vesuvis erupted.

This is obviously a hoax message because I happen to know they didn't have email in 1651.

Probably evaporating in the upper layers...should start if they become saturated, i guess.
