  1. Is there likely to be any chance of settling snow/sleet overnight this evening for us snow starved here in North Norfolk? It was horrible watching the showers divert to my east and mainly West last night Just our luck that when conditions are perfect we have no precipitation and when precipitation is good we are the wrong side of marginal. All I want is enough to snow for my toddler to experience for the first time.
  2. I heard these good ol' Norfolk sayings mentioned today, winter will arrive soon! 1. There's always cold and snow when the mart arrives (travelling fair at King's Lynn normally around valentines) 2. As the days get longer the cold gets stronger. Here's hoping that Feb delivers for this region!
  3. Well I hope everyone along the coast keeps safe tomorrow, hopefully we don't have a repeat of December 2013 when people came to look at the high tide and put themselves all in danger. Take care on the roads too, I don't want to be dealing with your insurance claim when I get in to work tomorrow! I love snow and ice but it makes work absolute hell
  4. Who else is in the NO SNOW club? Nothing but cold rain! Just spoke to someone from the environment agency at Wells-next-the-sea and they are expecting flooding on par with December 2013. I love snow but hate northerly winds that deliver nothing but coastal devastation to this area.
  5. Quite concerned about the output as previously mentioned, northerly winds not good when combined with spring tides, we could easily see a repeat of December 2013 and that was catastrophic for this area
  6. Can anyone confirm whether we are likely to see gale force winds from a northerly direction later this coming week? We could be looking at another December 2013 tidal surge along the Norfolk coast as we are due rather large tides. High tides, gale force winds and low pressure in the North Sea never mix well.
  7. Snowing steadily in Fakenham Finally our turn no matter how much we may get. Good start to the night though.
  8. So whens the next chance of any snow falling in snow starved Norfolk?
  9. Does any of the output suggest anything other than average temps and conditions for the East? I would rate this "cold spell" 1/10. I managed -0.2c last night, wouldn't call that a severe frost.
  10. 0.7c here at the moment with dew point 0.4 Heading in the right direction
  11. Very raw outside with this wind and almost horizontal sleet and snow mix. Nothing settling though here in fakenham. Can't say I'm looking forward to being on the sea front at Brancaster at 6am tomorrow. Going to be chilly
  12. I was born in 1987 My parents had an unusually long journey to Queen Elizabeth hospital as there was heavy snowfall on 4th May! My father always quotes 87 and 63 as some of the most eventful winters in his lifetime. I will have to dig out some photos, I have seen photos of my father nearly walking level with the top of telegraph poles on some huge drifts but I'm unsure what year that was. All I want to see is an extreme event like that at least once in my life.
  13. Does anyone know if the dewpoint is going to drop. -1.6 at 6pm, 0 now. What little snow we had is now cascading out of the trees as water
  14. Metoffice warnings for snow being dropped for tomorrow- means it might actually snow now lol. Wouldn't be surprised if they drop warnings for Tuesday and Wednesday at this rate. Temps too high and ground too wet for anything to settle. Roll on next "cold spell"
  15. Where did it all go wrong? Thought this was meant to be a cold spell
  16. Are we likely to get a frost before the low pressure comes down the north sea later?
  17. Was very heavy rain/sleet in Norwich, raining in Fakenham but wind getting stronger
  18. Just driven from Norwich to fakenham, absolute washout! Need a hard frost for anything to settle.... Another lame "cold spell"
  19. Any chance of any fronts, bands of showers or disturbances running down the north sea into our region and likely to fall as snow in the next few days? We had 1 good shower today and that's it, feeling slightly let down. I want some decent frontal snowfall rather than hit and miss showers
  20. Don't get me started on 2nd homes, that's the reason I now live in fakenham! Priced out of the village I have spent my whole life in by people who spend 1 weekend up here every 2 or 3 months. The coast reminds me of ghost towns this time of year
  21. Very interesting BBC forecast, even mentioning February! If the northerlies verify I'm just glad they are not coinciding with the large tides we have just had on the north Norfolk coast. Could have been worse than Dec 2013 Thanks for the help
