Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 14th 2013>

[angel23]

This was always forecast to be the mildest day of the week, -8 uppers should be with us tomorrow

i know but i would like more snow at some point rather than just cold lol

[JMTD]

How we looking for tonight in the Cambridge area? Any more to be expected?

[starstream]

going to take a brave leap and not watch threads or weather news tonight....just head for an early night and hopefully??? get a surprise not a disappointment in the morning.

a good hour of sleet and +1 temps washed my snow away.

it just looks damp outside now.

[TheBigFreeze]

BBC forecast just showed the wrap around and it looks like it will hit where I am which should see a few more cm of snow with any luck

[Methuselah]

Wet snow now; just starting to lie on the mud...

With all the snow we will have overnight, the Yarmovians challenge the Lowstuffians to a snowball fight.

Apply here.

Torrential rain here

I guess I could have worded that a tad better!

So that was your Mud/snowman I just saw

[Snow Obsession]

Nooooo! Rain is washing my snow away!!

[essex coast matt]

Rain stopped, temp and dp now falling,had 4.8mm of rain.

[snowking]

It's all starting to look a bit marginal at the moment, -4 uppers flirting with the south east at present so lets hope that

if we do get a decent wrap-around there are no warm sectors involved. currently +2 here.

Fortunately by midnight those are back to -6 to -7 (though under the shallow system we've had over us, even -4c 850mb temps would probably have been sufficient)

Only potential marginality will be dew points:

But then when you look at the flow:

Sourced from the near continent, that should help to combat any marginality

So it really looks to be a question of just how much precipitation arrives to our north!

ECM following the Met? Thrown in a cracker for Friday, Sat better but seeing as Friday is sooner.... BRRR

[patrickshere]

All snow's melted here, little tiny patches left on the grass.. The wet showers coming in from the north west after the main front being responsible.. Temp was up to 1.5c an hour ago.

Yes, potentially a couple more cms overnight, but nothing is set in stone at the moment.

[shotski]

Just googeled Wrap-around and this came up

What time is it Due

[Chris101]

Ahh I get it now, so it's a low all down the east coast thats causing it? I only managed to glimpse a few graphics today and thought it was going to come from a small low pressure centre - whats actually there must be much more elongated.

Ok the band that went through the UK today was from a low just North of Scotland, as that low weakens a new circulation has started as a new low has formed around Middlesborough, that new low starts to pull the rain/snow band over the top of the circulation and down the otherside, it is a tight circulation and this new circulation will slip SE during the night.

Hope this helps

[Mr.Plow]

Just drove home from a Snowy Norwich and about 5 miles from home it turns to rain!

Ahhhh shazbutt.

Why do you think i've been paying such close attention to it....

Just running the radar quickly through the last hour, the wrap around is VERY clear. Precipitation around the Hull area now becoming alot more southerly tracking. Around Durham the precipitation is heading directly south. Band seems to be heading west much slower over our part of the world. Shame the heaviest has passed though!

Temperature is -0.4C here now....nice covering of snow here, but nothing of any depth

[Justin Pearson]

Chalk I am in Kesgrave! Hello fellow Keagravian!!

Ha ha me to that's 3

[Grinzzz]

Hope this helps

Smashing, thanks

[Methuselah]

Steady snow here now, anyway...More to come?

[huntso]

In full melt mode now, temp at 1.4c
