3 Counties And East Anglia Regional Discussion Thread

[JennyJane1]

ha i see lowestoftians are all over here, i'm near Yarmouth and I got confused in the three counties thread, so ill stay over here. Reports from Reedham of heavy snow half an hour ago now stopped.

[Hughsey]

Wow going to be a cold night tonight, temps fallen to 0.6 degrees already, if only there were some showers around!

[Ben_Cambs]

Happy birthday Silver Line!

I agree with Hughsey and hopefully the projected cloud won't reach this region until the morning, I reckon it could get down to -3C or so in one or two spots before cloud cover increases.

White Christmas 2011 and Widespread Snow

After the first significant falls of snow across many parts of the UK this week as forecast (including the south), I am expecting these conditions to become more prominent as we head into next week, and in the run up to and during the festive period.

Over the next 10 days, widespread snowfall will start to become a prominent feature across many parts of the UK including the south. The snow will be particularly heavy at times and lead to lasting accumulations at many lower levels too, especially more so in the regions of Scotland, northern England, and eastern England.

As I stated in my 4^th December update

I am expecting things to significantly change to a more prolonged period of much colder weather with widespread snowfall across many parts of the UK and Ireland, as we head into the latter part of next week and in the run up to and during the festive period. The temperatures in Scotland and many Northern regions are likely to dip below negative double figures at times within this period in the evenings.

A white Christmas is also looking increasingly possible across many parts of the UK, especially more so in the regions of Scotland and Northern England in terms of any possible accumulations on the actual day.

The following MSN article from the 25th Novemberalso stated

What is The Big Question?

Christmas lights have been switched on all over the country; mince pies are now part of a staple diet, so the annual obsession of foraging for clues to predict the weather intensifies as people inevitably want to know will we have a white Christmas? Madden predicts we will, although heavier snowfall and low temperatures will stun the country throughout January and February.

I also made a definition of what a white Christmas officially consists of, as snow showers could literally be possible anywhere within the UK, although I have emphasised that the regions of Scotland and Northern England are the most likely to see any notable accumulations on the actual day.

All of the following statements still stand and were made before any other professional meteorologists or weather organisations, who are still being noncommittal on the outcome at this late stage, and as they will continue to do so, until a few days before.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and thank you all for reading my forecasts and your continued support.

Yes he did WTS, Sometime late this afternoon. In fairness he has not been that far off at all so far. however as for the mild spell coming in i do not believe it will be a spell more of a blip. Like i posted earlier keep your eye's on the model thread later this week and so on up to xmas and new year.

James Madden. Google EXACTA WEATHER. He is not that bad to be honest Shotski.

Could someone who is not as thick as me post the latest ECM t240 Northern hem pressure chart, looks interesting.

Well all i can say at the moment is there are change's appearing and this mild spell will probably turn into a very short one. As i have said though keep eyes on model thread. the fun is just begining.

[Summer of 76]

Fingers crossed as I look at a temperature of 11.1c at the moment, this time last year it was well below zero and just keeping the house warm was a task although the outside decs looked good

[JennyJane1]

it was really warm walking into town today
