East Anglia & Three Counties Regional Discussion €- Part 4

[Random Images]

Just had a call from my mate sailing just off the coast at Great Yarmouth and he told me he will be late back in tonight at Lowestoft because he is becalmed. Now that isn't something that happens all that often in these parts. No wind whatsoever.

Snow flurries here in Wisbech, far east Cambridgeshire close to Norfolk border.

Just looked out the window to see a flock of seagulls circling round over the park opposite and on closer inspection realised there is actually the odd snowflake in the air as well

Fingers crossed people.

I find it odd that the MO have not revised thier warnings. Things look to be happening much further east than forecast!

A flock of seagulls in the park. What were they playing?

Light snizzle every now and then here.

[Jason T]

Is it me or has it moved even further east.??

[Mark Burton]

Peterborough; Woodston area now sleet!

Are you sure about that?? Interesting.

[garp100]

A few flakes falling here.

[MBaines]

Light snow in central Peterborough now, temperature has been below freezing up to now, and its now 0.1c

[scotteboi]

Fasinating watching the radar. The band of precip across N England is moving S but the band across the N Sea is moving SW. This will soon merge together to bring a spell of snow. Also upper temps at 3pm are 0C but will drop to -3C in 2 hrs.

Radar says 'incoming' - but is it telling the truth?

Do you think this is shaping up for a good snow event for the whole of the south now as opposed to what had been forecast yesterday and this morning?

[KDME]

What are the chances of snow for Central / Southern Essex?

Thanks.

Looking at the(free NW) radar it appears to be bucketing down something over much of Norfolk and Suffolk - yet there's not much excitement in here? Is this the vanishing ppt like we had last Saturday before it the real snow kicked in?

I'm a bit ambivalent over this event to be honest, it's such a pain getting around here at the moment with all the compacted snow, I'd quite like a brief thaw to clear that away before any more arrives.

Speaking of which, the northerly that appears to be firming up for next week - is that the sort of flow which could give us snow here?

Hi Jason, the Met office has warnings out for the region for snow tonight and tomorrow. This place will be busy later on.

Right on the East Coast at Felixstowe and the radar has been showing precipitation (snow) over us for at least the last hour with nothing falling!! The clouds have increasingly got darker from the east though in this time so just maybe?? Just want to prick those clouds with a pin and let the heavens open!!!

Dry as a bone here in Suffolk even though the radar is showing intense PPN right over me. The radar is having a tough time with the pressure being so high.
