Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 18th 2013>

[Long haul to mild]

I went through the same last night, right under a big blob for ages last night and nothing falling from the sky!

Hope you get some soon.

Thanks! It's just so frustrating watching the radar show nothing all day then when it does finally show something; still nothing!!

Where is the best place to take a measurement?

[Number 23]

Essex literally seems to have had a snow shield up all day.

Yeah it's quite interesting really, at work today we were getting snow reports from pretty much 360 degrees around us!

[Snowangel-MK]

About 11" lol

I might make a snowman in the morning then.....

[Eskimo]

Where is the best place to take a measurement?

On a patio, table...generally a flat surface.

[PurpleButterfly]

Where is the best place to take a measurement?

I took my measurement from the middle of my garden and also the pavement outside. They both gave the same measurement of 2inchs. Also the kids plastic climbing thingy lol

very poor focasting and ramping today, the only thing they got right is the wind..poor radar as well, still showing something above me , but nothing. Also it was forcasted to stay below freezing, well its 2c at the moment and rising...its all over .

Well it may have been for your area, the nearest snow to me was 50 miles away, ramping on local radio about how much we are going to get, yellow warning, should have been green, then up poped a radio warning, that the heaviset snow was going to be between 4pm and 7pm..and nothing ..well thats past...bad in my books...sorry

[SnowJoke]

Thought it had stopped, just stuck head out of the window after dinner and it's snowing again moderately. 11.5cm now and still rising slowly. Those folks in the East / Essex keep an eye on the area over Kent & the showers to the SE in the North Sea. Looks like they follow the direction if the wind so heading northwards towards the coast.

No my location had only 1cm. We were about 10 miles from heavier PPN all day, such as also right now.

Met Amber warning said this would be the borderline location and appeared true.

Mate, the way I see it is you live by the coast so you have got it sorted 70% of the year, I live the furthest away from the coast as

you can get but for the other 30% of the year get some good snow. Anyway lets see what Sunday brings for you
