hey anyone near me in st.albans/hatfield .people keep saying its dying but its still going strong here and met of say its guna get heavier at 3ish. whats everyone think

I was wondering from the radar if it had started to rotate anti-clockwise - may be wishful thinking but if it does the back of the band may be what we see to the South rather than the west...

That's what I like to hear. Do you dress them up to look like wizards, too?

How's the snaw?

Luvverly! about 5-6 cms and still coming down strong. Daughter picked up from school and shopping done. That's me in for the duration!

If the precipitation is moving North-East like it is, it gets effected by the chilterns and intensifies and drifts across to Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire, also if it's moving from South to North, the urban heat island effect from London peps up the intensity across this location...other than that, my location is pants for snow most of the time.

Will it get heavier in the Wisbech area, mainly light so far, thanks.

Aslong as the main band doesn't weaken then I reckon in around 1hrs time you should see heavier snow.

That's what I was alluding to yesterday, even though our location is on the yellow on the map, on other pages it says we are Amber/Red. Says it's meant to get heavier late afternoon/early evening but the band is breaking up faster than Taylor Swifts relationships.

Well so far a bit of dandruff in the air with a little sprinkle but what a disappointment to what the met warned for! Had loads better than this last year. Bring on Sunday (and knowing my luck that'll be east of Cambridgeshire too!!)

Very fine and light snow falling here now in St Neots. Hoping that it will pick up some intensity and it moves North.

Fair play to the Met Office from my point of view. When they issued the amber warning yesterday. It had my location just outside of it. Today has been bang on from that perspective. If you look at my location on the radar, it has I would say been 10-20 miles away from more favourable conditions. I have basically 1cm maybe heading towards 1.5cm. I bet those just to my West, SW and even NW would have done better today so far.

That'll be me away to pick-up the grandchildren from school, in a mo. They and I have a lot of snow-sculpting -massacring to do!

Best snow for me, since Bromley in 2010!

Nothing more than snizzle here, the settlement of which can just about be made out where there are wind obstructions - i.e. there is very little.

This doesn't surprise me though, as the NMM model just doesn't show a major snowfall for a lot of us for the start of this weekend and it hasn't done at all, while it's been in range. I'd love it to be incorrect, don't get me wrong. That's not to say it's not too late for us to get a reasonable snowfall before tomorrow morning, but it's unlikely to be too memorable imho.

I'll also await the update in a couple of hours with interest, to see what it shows for Sunday morning. smile.png

And what about the sticky-out bit that's home to Felixstow and Ipswich, Dave?good.gif

Latest met update on my I phone Cambridge in that band on Sunday. Slightly further north and west of Cambridge then very little chance

PPN here definitely heavier than the radar suggests.

I'd agree with that blum.gif

On the NW radar it shows a sudden cut off of the green blob to our east..but it looks odd tease.gif
