BBC still saying that this sysyem will slide up the N Sea tonight, I only see it struggling to get past Peterborough!

[Ben_Cambs]

Snow picking up in intensity again! Good stuff!

[Iceni]

is it just me or is all the ppn that is leaving Belgium curling round towards the Suffolk / Norfolk coast?

Not sure I want it if it's from Belgium still I suppose I can hold my nose and put up with it.

Good job you're not doing the forecast then mark!

The real fun starts up the northeast with a stiff wind off the sea. Will make our day seem like a flurry

[Bolton67]

My head is spinning at the moment, I'm on the netweather radar and the precip seems to be moving in a very slow North direction. i've just been on my metO app and the precip is moving in a North West direction.

[fenland ice]

At long last! Snow picking up now in intensity here on the Cambs/Norfolk border near Wisbech, starting to settle also.

Not really in Colchester, further north and East. We have snow but just not as much as I would have hoped given the synoptics. Snow has only been light here and would love to see snow like I remember in the past; a real snowstorm.

[tinybill]

well my rain alarm got it going NW ,and its snowing v heavy now in ipswich

[Captain Shortwave]

Well with blizzards in Lowestoft I was really ramped up, what have I got, pretty much Fridays snizzle just a little heavier, hopefully that will change

I guess it is settling a little

Hmm, you're probably right actually (must zoom out in future!). I've been concentrating on the extreme western flank which seems to be receeding rapidly.

LOL What I meant was I only see this now - it was not meant to be a forecast. Though I am a bit sceptical about the BBC forceast! Edited January 20, 2013 by Mark Burton

i'm not sure if its actually snowing or just blowing off the roof and cars

[Grinzzz]

We've had 6cm fall on cleared areas today. Snowing solidly now since 9am, small flakes but very steady. It's compressing the 5 inches we had on Friday, can see where the layers are on wall tops.

Still nothing here. Patience, patience, patience.

[janetmh71]

Just started here a few minutes ago thought we were going to be left out . . . hope we get something decent out of it now

[tinybill]

don't know about thew Belgian streamer!!!, its still coming out of France!!

[Grinzzz]

blimey just looked at the radar, doesnt look like it's going to give up easily. Looks like another 6 hours or so?

[Long haul to mild]

Been snowing lightly here for about 3 hours now; nice and steadily but never anything very heavy. Looks like the heavier echoes on the radar are heading towards Norfolk and then up the NE coast.

Still, has probably added another 4cm or so. Just been out and had a snowball fight with the children and also built a snowman and a snowcat!

[NothingHappensInNorwich]

Light in north Norwich for about 50mins, about 0.1cm so far

[tinybill]

If you look to the south west, then maybe another 1 hour or so, 40 mins ago the prcip was over Oxford, look at it now.
