3 Counties & E Anglia Cold Spell Discussion Part 2

[East Herts Snow]

Did you read it?

XCWeather site is showing winds of 30 MPH and higher off the East coast with moderate snowfall.

This would constitute possible blizzard conditions. As a result I would attend to agree with the posters from the East coast of Suffolk (Ipswich area).

35mph winds? visibilty down to 200m? Really?

At the moment the wind speed in Ipwich is 9MPH, highest gust recorded today 12mph.

Starting to snow in Norwich now, and it looks like this stuff is slowly heading up from the south-east. Quite pleased to see this, for conditions are not expected to turn marginal until tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly . . . heavy snow, winds . . people excited about something they probably have not seen in a long while.

I am happy for those who are getting snow just hope they are blowing it this way too!!

To be fair he did say "like a blizzard" which isn't as bad as claiming that it's an actual blizzard.

It's inaccurate, this is a weather forum, some of us would like to know what's actually going on. if there really was a blizzard somewhere I'd love to know as they are very rare here, especially in the south.

Everone reporting blizzard like conditions probably don't understand what one is.

Is that what constitutes a blizzard? I'm not versed in weather jargon that's why I likened it to a blizzard.

Well, it was quite windy, snow nearly horizontal and visibility quite restricted.

Been snowing for the past hour now, at times heavily. Temperature now -1.1C....yet another ice day!

Definately touching blizzard conditions here now with the drifting snow.

In the heavier snow visability is down to less than 100m and the wind is gusting 34mph, so it is touching a true blizzard.

Shame I broke my leg on the 2nd and have watched most of this great period of weather from Ipswich hospital, and for the past 2 days from my sofa. If I was able I would be straight out there in it.

[Southernman]

It's stopped now.

indeed, but wind speeds like that aren't even nearly blizzard like

It is a general public weather forum, not a professional met's needed to be exact. If someone says blizzard like, treat it with caution and accept that they mean heavy snow being blown around alot.
