Three Counties & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 20th 2013>

[Yarmy]

I've come to the conclusion that I don't actually live where I think I do. Either that, or the Radar isn't entirely accurate.

[atrow]

really picking up here now. how much longer do you think it will last ???

[Mark Burton]

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.

Mentioned this a while ago, the band is also narrowing over my area now.............. BBC forecast now reflecting this. Looks like N Norfolk will do well tonight! Edited January 20, 2013 by Mark Burton

Hope you've all got snow now ?

Some pretty chilly concrete cows in CMK today....

[slater]

Here west Norwich, the fine flakes not doing anything, the path that i cleared yesterday morning is just as dry now as it was then, lets hope calm before the storm...

Aye its receding NE, but if you look at the radar theres been an odd sort of convergence line all afternoon since it began roughly running up through berkshire, luton. mk & northampton. has shown signs of weakening but keeps getting fed by heavier bursts running nw from the sussex coast. Three hours possible at a push before moving away i reckon.

Well it may be very light...but it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. Only heavier stuff to look forward to looking at radar atm imo.

mk me thinks the met office have been messed up lol looking at the radar looks like a good 7 hours to come its still coming out of France!!

lets hope so, was hoping to see the heavy snow in daylight, looks like lamp post watching now!!!!

[Captain Shortwave]

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

It is, the worlds finest snow, settling everywhere now apart from rooftops as it literally gets blown straight off in this strong wind

Good observation !!! lets hope so.

Looks like an intense pulse coming out of rotterdam on the radar. If im not mistaken it appears to be heading for the north of our area (looks like it's headed for Norwich and north). Hope it makes it - should be fun hearing how high up the murr scale you get

New family member!

Yep, just noticed that too. Oh well was good while it lasted

[MarcB]

Just had a quick measure and 7cms has fallen and laid today, most of it in the last couple of hours as the first 3 hours between 11 and 2 didn't really produce anything measurable. It is very light at the mo' though but duration might be our friend today.

My table in the garden is now showing 12cms with falls/melts and top ups since last Monday, I'm very happy.

[CanadaAl]

Wow, just looked at the radar, some serious snow coming off The Hague! will probably end up in the north-east though

[Gary_R_Walker]

Just looked at the radar and if I'm not reading it completely wrong it looks like we will be snowed on here all night. Although I'm probably reading it wrong.

[tinybill]

murr sliding scale of snowfall = 7 at the moment

[Paul33]

Not seeing much of a northerly movement for this snow ..... been travelling due west through northern cambridgeshire for 3-4 hours now !

[Methuselah]

Not to worry, youse in the North: it really gets going after it's faffed about for an hour...

[tinybill]

yep some v heavy stuff on the coast near lowestoft

[Hughsey]

Wow just realised after looking at the Meto radar prediction, that shows snow still over my location at 3AM, that there could still be 6 or more hours of snow. That would be amazing, but not expecting quite that much at the moment. Snow still coming down quite heavily hear, roads looking treacherous.

[tinybill]

now going to lamp post mode soon have to go out side to clear the snow 2nd time this afternoon!!!

[Dan the Man]

Still heavy/fine snow. Around Level 5/6.

Excellent at LTN Airport though - remained open all day despite about 5-6cm of further snow. Probably about 8-9cm of lying snow after Friday and a slight thaw.
