[Tom Montalbano]

The band is growing and intensifying slightly.

We must have some snowy members, in the N.E of our region, where are they?

Tom.

[Mr_Pessimistic]

Got about an inch or so here in south norfolk.. few more hours of it to come here at a guess..

It might be due to the lateness in the season; it started sleeting here, at 5.2. Then again, it could be due to a layer of colder air lying at an intermediate level?

And then, there was a spell of frozen sleet?

[Floatylight]

Gotta catch some of that surly?

[Summer of 76]

Looking at the latest radar it appears to be moving slightly back north from my location at the moment

[chilly milly]

Good evening all. Thought I'd slink back in here, what with the mention of snow and all that. Hope everyone is well.

Oh goody!

[alexisj9]

From what the met office had yesterday in the warning, about ice on powerlines, I think you guys are lucky you haven't had freezing rain.

[MBaines]

Snow now starting to show on car, but not on paths / roads as too wet. Temp now 0.7c. Dew point 0.1c. Both falling steadily in the centre of Peterborough.

Yes yes yes, thats what I like.

[huntso]

Raining in St Ives

[Met4Cast]

I'm out on a pub crawl! What are the chances of the PPN reaching the South-East? Most models have it fizzling out by the time it gets to us

[Captain Shortwave]

Completely baffled. Lowestoft has a centimetre or two of snow. Gorleston seafront has lying snow. The entirety of Great Yarmouth has rain there is ice on most of the cars. I spot a snowshield

It's the gradual transition, from rain through sleet and then to snow (and sub-zero temps), that really worries me, alexis...It's not so bad around here (I hope) but, in the Scottish Highlands, we used to get power-cuts whenever snow was preceded by rain or sleet...

[Tom Montalbano]

I'll just pop that 3rd Round Snow Depth Cup Draw up again, just in case we get some measurable snowfall.

Will have to have a think about the optimum time to measure any snow depths.

I suppose you could put your snow into a tuppaware container and pop it into your freezers.

Think its best if you could P.M. me your depths, otherwise they'll get lost in these fast moving threads

and clutter them up.

All snow here now falling moderately for the last half hour, starting to settle on cars now but nothing else yet.

Might to be do with the intensity of the precipitation. Lighter in G Yarmouth = rain, heavier down the road in Lowestoft - snow. Just a thought.

Best of luck tonight those in E Anglia and the SE Midlands - looks like the band will fizzle out by the time it reaches London and the southern Home Counties, maybe some light snow to start Sunday morning.

[Timbo]

Still snowing in lowestoft, about 1.5 inches on all surfaces including the road..

Temp 0.2 with a dew point of -1.9..

looking at the radar a few more hrs to come, then looking forward to heavy showers comming of the North sea..

What do you think North Herts will see Nick?

Nope precipitation is the same intensity here as it was when I left lowestoft at half 7, the bus was late due to snow settling on the main roads. I would say this happened in January during the first snow event down here where Great Yarmouth and areas within about a mile of the town saw nothing Yet areas even on the coast a few miles away saw 2 inches.

I hate this place
