  1. Just started raining VERY heavy and wind starting to pick up
  2. Well as others have said far windier yesterday here in Norfolk thus far pressure falling rapidly 974.1
  3. I do think the models overplay the cooling effect of onshore breeze from the North Sea somewhat. I am 12 miles from the Norfolk coast and have had a breeze of around 5 to 10 mph from NE max temp has hit 26.2c around 3pm its now 24.9c so if this is the full extent of the cooling north sea effect on temp for the coming week I wont be complaining at its plenty warm enough for me. Sorry for the IMBY post but I think the east wont fair too badly overall throughout this warm/hot spell.
  4. Well I for one will be glad to see the back of this current setup, although its been mainly dry unlike last years almost constant rain temperatures have been so depressed, I think in this part of Norfolk we have managed 2 days thus far this year to hit the magic 21c the rest of the time it been low teens at best, although I must admit we have had a good few sunny days. I find it hard to keep hearing how great its been, sure in south and west it has been a big improvement on last years deluge but in East Anglia its been a very cold start to the year followed by a cold spring.
  5. Hello Jo and welcome to the mad house Look forward to reading you posts
  6. Another excellent post form you SK and I have to agree with your sentiment regarding the pattern change as we seem to be getting more and more of these locked in patterns and have been for some considerable time now perhaps al la ""little ice age"? pure speculation but who can say.
  7. Very heavy snow showers here this morning temp has gone from 1.4c at 7am down to 0.2c now brrrrrr So wishing for some spring warmth and sunshine now!
  8. All the very best Stewart - You will be greatly missed - thank you for all your input on here -you have shared such insight and knowledge with all of us it wont be the same without you - All the Best in your new venture and as others have said hopefully you will pop in from time to time. Robert.
  9. One can only dream, lets hope the GFS is onto something this time, farmers, growers and folks with big heating bills need a warm up. ASAP!!
  10. Chucking it down here my part of North Norfolk blizzard like ENE wind, just wonder if this will keep going all night or fizzle out this evening as forecast
  11. Coming down heavy here for the past hour, settling on grass and roof tops wind has got stronger as well temp 0.5c dp -4c
  12. Yes I remember heavy snow around 2-3 feet deep in around the 20th Feb in 1986 or 87 it hung around for about 10 day or so, I was living in the Southend on Sea area at the time and it caused major disruption, how widespread it was I really cant say but it was the most amount of snow I can ever remember in my lifetime. sorry mods at not on topic but felt it needed saying.
  13. Have to add its been an "event" all week long where I am in North Norfolk, lying snow 15cm mon and every day from then on showers topping it up hardly a non event, ok I know its not the whole of EA but a large area of Norfolk and parts of Suffolk.
  14. Morning All Up early looks like east of our region have had a few cm covering/top up over night, Up here in North Norfolk 20miles NNW Norwich had 2cm top up, checked the latest radar main front should reach Norwich/North Norfolk area around 2pm (rough estimate). Just seen the latest forecast on BBC now showing quite and active system moving north across EA on Sunday. Looks like we could have major snow cover by the end of the weekend widely. Stay safe out there peps... Oh and snowing lightly here past hour.
  15. Started snowing again up here, fairly steady large flakes...just to keep it topped up..Im thinging Im going to get some supplies in tomorrow, with the 20cm here already by the end of the weekend thing could start to get a bit tricky up here
  16. Well been very cold here today with plenty of lying snow temp maxed out at -1c at 10.30am now down to -4.5c so another cold night awaits, As I am posting its just stated snowing look like a light shower. I too am wondering how far east the front will make it on Fri...time will tell.
  17. Heavy snow shower here in north norfolk lasting 45min another 4cm makes a total of 20cm in the last 24 hours temp 0.9c thismornig around 11.50am now droped to -0.2c
  18. It looks like the BBC Met are going with the cold..the local forecast is giving max -1c sat with snow so not set in stone but at this point they seem to be backing their own model. Whatever the outcome very good model viewing to come
  19. That was the point I was trying to put across and totally agree GFS is moving closer to the UKMO and I would not rule out cold holding the Atlantic further back further west/south in the coming runs.
  20. WOW some amazing charts this morning the block is not going anywhere fast UKMO is stunning for cold and widespread snow GFS is now coming on board . After yesterdays 16cm covering up here in North Norfolk looks like things could get very interesting this weekend and for the foreseeable.
  21. Use to live and work down in Leigh, quite often got some good snow in the right setup..not sure you will see any tonight though??
  22. Started to fade out here now becoming light, moving south but not complaining at 16cm
