Just back from Yarmouth, been snowing heavily there, but not settling, too wet.

Well folks for now nothing to jump and down about. Pretty much average temps from tuesday. However winter far from over keep your eyes on the model thread around xmas and new year week. pattern change is looming and has winter writen all over it.

I like your optimistic viewing of the coming new year period!

Morning all,

Some very icy roads/pavements round here this morning as expected, some wintry precipitation in the air when I walked the dogs and the heavy frost has been slow to clear.

Seeing snow fall yesterday I feel like a junkie in need of a fix.....I want more

I have visitors today so I might have to take them to MK Xscape after lunch and pay the SNOzone a visit - there is 1500 tonnes of real snow in there.....it's just not the same though *sigh*

Hope you have a great time!

Btw micheal fish says to watch the cheshire gap streamer?I have looked this up and is there any chance this could effect(bring snow) to us in s east?thanks.

[Ben_Cambs]

Unfortunately not, and the temperature profile suggests that any showers today in this region are more likely to be of rain (had a slightly sleety shower this morning).

It was quite frosty this morning with another frost tonight (sharper than this morning's frost) and another sunny day tomorrow.

Looking further ahead, it looks like the general pattern will flatten out, with the Azores High ridging in towards the south and low pressure to the north, giving quite murky weather with rain at times, though it will be mild, particularly mid-week. Monday is looking like a raw day with temperatures not getting higher than 4-5C, and rain arriving later in the day. Temperatures could get into double figures by Wednesday though it should cool down by Christmas eve.

Bit too early to say what Christmas day will be like in terms of the weather. My guess would be a rather average December day with temperatures maxing out between 6-8C with the chance of some rain showers during the day, sadly it looks pretty much certain we won't be having a white christmas this year!

There is a Streamer on the NAE for tomorrow, no snow showing for the eastern counties though !

It has been a really lovely winters day here but it's starting to get quite chilly now...another cold frosty night to come

Interesting that the radar is presently showing some more showers coming into the Bedford area as snow, however this morning it showed the same and it was rain.

Interesting clump of showers just off Lincs/Norfolk coast. Would expect a little bit of wintriness as this ppn hits land. Any news on that score, in those areas.

Really........?

[Rezillo]

The Norwich market and Millenium Plain webcams are showing a few white areas that weren't there 30 minutes ago but it doesn't look anything much yet.

[Let_it_snow]

only a 45min shower which was heavier than light, cars down my street are covered.

[Mrsf16]

Hahahah Peterborough is always too far East for the snow that get the midlands, and too far west for the stuff that comes off the coast! hahaahah Enjoy xxx

[billy]

Snowing quite heavy here in Beccles.

[Isolated Frost]

Indeed the latest Norwich Weather Centre metars have been rain, snow and now just snow. I haven't seen the last radar pics but here's hoping you can manage some lying snow and maybe a couple of centimetres lying this evening, marginality in Norwich should not be a problem with colder uppers arriving by the second.

[GarethK]

Lets be realistic here, it has been snowing here in Norwich but at the moment, not enough to settle to any amount measurable, instant melt on the roads and a slight whiteness to the grass and my car but thats it for now. Unusual that Norwich had any at all, its usually rain starved!

[Merlin.huff]

Current temperature is 1.3c and snow turned back to sleet/rain. Not settled, just slush on the bin lids. If it freezes tonight it's going to be very slippery tomorrow morning

[Floatylight]

well might get a bit of the side of that streamer afterall?

Unless its from somewhere else,mo forcast snow about midday,heavy for ipswich:)just up the road.

And now showing heavy for colchester yee!
