East Anglia & Three Counties Regional Discussion - Part 2

[Heisenberg]

Wheres my snow....GRRR radar shows its so close. nothing here yet?

Saint, you got any yet?

[mishy]

Getting heavier. Settling instantly

[80sWeather]

Moderate nice dry snow here in godmanchester settling easily

[janetmh71]

Still nothing here, should be overhead by now but I am sure it will hit soon.

[Heisenberg]

ok, i take it back. Its Started.....Very small flakes, very slowly falling......

[nej1965]

Rats.. the lamppost I usually use to snow-watch... usually in clear view from my chair in front of the tv... is obscured by branches.....

[moordown66]

Still waiting here. If it's got to Snorbens it can't be long now....5 miles away

[Tim Bland]

1st flakes falling is St Evenage now..Bring it on! Hopefully we can retain the snow pack before the next batch. 12z runs look great for our area..snow shower easterly followed by dumping channel low, that will do nicely

[easy-oasy]

Very light but now some snow falling in Baldock...

[moordown66]

Game on

[Pixel]

lampost says YES

[TEITS]

Quick update but I reckon between 12am-3am is when the heaviest snow will hit this region.

[etched Chaos]

Not liking the front's leading edge weakening as it plows east, could end up with a damp squib of an event out here if the back edge doesn't come through in the early hours of the morning.

[Snowangel-MK]

lampost says YES

[smich]

First flakes of light snow here in Barnet!

I must say, this front looks enormous on the radar now. As TEITS says, back edge still over the Irish Sea!

Likely to shrink as it weakens, but nevertheless a prolonged event in the offing for this region.

oh doooooooooooon't

[littlearthur]

Zippo here in kings lynn

Let me know no lights in west winch !!

[etched Chaos]

oh doooooooooooon't

I'm a natural snow pessimist, that and I much prefer easterly convections because westerly fronts have a habit of weakening before they get this far east.

[Hughsey]

Snow stopped for now here bUt a small covering and more to come.

Temps falling -0.4 AT and -3.6 DP.

shall i stop being excited then?

[pinball wizard]

Couldn't be any better conditions for snow really. The ground has been frozen all week, had an ice day today, a slight dusting just to get us started, -3.3C currently with the snow only about 50 miles away.....oh, and to add the front still has precipitation intensifying on it. Didn't think I was going to be seeing this during the 2011/2012 winter....well, not 3-4 weeks ago I didn't!

You and me both mate, it was shaping up to be a horrendous winter for snow fans but looks like we've pulled it out the hat!

I'm actually positive on this one, still plenty of energy left in it yet! Looks like it has finally fully occluded as well so no warm sector to worry about and some serious precipitation in the centre. I think we should all be in for a good covering tonight!

Nah, I have higher expectations than you . If it's not a whiteout I'll probably find something to be disappointed about . So stay excited, the snow is coming it may just be weaker than everywhere else.
