    I dunno, some of these horses are hardy breeds! But don't be out too long, or you might become a little hoarse!

    Thanks for posting that MK. Back to work I go, but I'll check in occasionally and will also read Gibby's summary later this morning.

    I hope you're okay . I'd have been pretty worried about the car catching on fire, at least at the start, if I was stuck in it like that!

    Morning All. -4C at home and -3C at work - we have more of a snow cover at home than at work. I see the Norwich area hit about -13C; a consequence of the deep snow cover there. I've not looked at long term charts, but have seen the post above referencing Chiono and Recretos. I'll check them out later. My concern with the snowfall this weekend is that if the front advances too much ( and it seems like it will actually cross us, re a weather forecast I heard on the BBC earlier ) then we'll be stuck in a polar maritime airstream behind it, at least for a while, so while we may have a reasonable amount of snow (and that'll depend on how quickly the front moves too here) it may end up being a nice pile of slush afterwards until the cold re-establishes. Is there anything to say this won't happen? Is there a reasonable chance the front will slide SE and keep us totally in the polar continental air we have now, with the bonus of a decent snowfall? Like I said, I've not had a chance to look myself, through suddenly being very busy at work.

    Nothing in Hatfield Peverel and I don't expect anything tbh. Has there been any settling?

    I'm just waiting for Floaty's update... Edit, she beat me!
  7. Steve C
    I guess they're all out there as we speak, taking photos and making snowmen!

    I think Floaty's talking about Friday...

    Maybe something residual might hit the north east of the county, but I can't see it being as intense as described above.

    Lightning is indicated on the radar for that area.

    A complicated procedure involving a 'print screen' - holding fn and F11 simultaneously on my lap top (other pc's are different and might involve a shift and another function key) I then open 'paint' and paste the 'printed screen' into it and then edit it and save the resultant file under a name as a PNG type. I try to do this before the radar updates again! There's bound to be a better way!

    Radar and lightning grab from 11:35. What's the betting those showers diminish though before they hit land?

    Just looking at the windflow for the next 48 hours, it appears to me that there is too much of a northerly component in the wind direction to enable me to get too excited for where I live. North Norfolk and Eastern Suffolk may do okay, but there seems to be too much of a land fetch for places away from there. Essentially the showers develop at sea and then lose their energy over the cold land. I don't really like N/NE winds, from an IMBY perspective, for that reason, as even though I'm next to the coast, there's a lot of land in that direction between me and the sea. If something happens though, I'll then be pleasantly surprised.

    Those showers north of the Wash are thundery! Thundersnow for a lucky few today?
  15. Steve C
    Graupel (probably)

    I think the chance of snow on the coast (rather than rain or sleet) has increased a lot since yesterday, due to the greater influence of the polar continental air now.

    Yes, 1947 would be very interesting now. In my opinion much harder than 1963 for people to cope with. 1963 was actually pretty dry during the cold spell. 1947 also had that major blow in the middle of March, just when people would have just started to think about the thaw. There was also terrible flooding in the Fens after the thaw. Oh dear!

    Temperatures are dropping now near me. Here is a map from 7:30. The two most local stations on here to myself, have fallen by about 1C in the last hour.

    Quite interesting looking at the precipitation expectation from the Hi Res Model (00Z) The first chart is the anticipated accumulated precipitation until 8 o'clock this morning (effectively what has happened already today) The second one is total precipitation until midnight tonight. Looking at the difference between the models, it suggests to me that some parts of the NE of the region may still be in for more significant (hopefully) snow today.

    When are you back there though K? Is it tomorrow? If so, then six inches of snow won't melt in the meantime, so you should still enjoy!

    On catching up with the postings and seeing the username, I'm guessing it's because he is one of the BBC local weather forecasters / presenters. Well done to you lucky lot in the north of the region too.

    Morning all. Had a light covering of wet snow in the night. More nuisance value than anything, especially as the temperatures here are a degree or two above freezing - 1C in Alresford and Hatfield Peverel and a little bit more at times on the journey down. I'm looking for the cold to become more entrenched later on when the last influence of that pesky (to be honest, for my location, that was what it was) low disappears.
  23. Steve C
    I expect to wake up to a slight to moderate cover of snow where I live, in the morning. I'll just have to wait and see - I certainly won't be waiting until the early hours especially for the purpose. But after this week I've got absolutely no idea what to expect; whether it'll be cool and very unsettled, like the latest GFS op run suggests, or whether the block can hold, or if the stratosphere will show its hand and give a fillip to another cold shot later on. It strikes me as being a total nightmare time to forecast anything more than a very few days ahead.

    Still light snow here at work.

    A front around the centre of a low pressure.
