Well according to News 24 just now it will be a SE event mostly. I don't believe it to be be honest. I think we will be hit.

Only got about 3 cm on Tuesday evening the best fall on Wednesday, I think we will have to do another nowcast obviously and they are going to be many more changes on the B.B.C. regarding Saturday and Sunday.

[lizzieloo202]

You still have to put up with me though, maybe we should petition for separate north/south Milton Keynes threads or better still maybe East/West considering the East seems to be quite extreme weatherwise!

Suppose i could post in both threads mids and the 3 counties..

One thing is for sure...WE WILL HAVE TETIS

[saint]

What part of MK is Monkston located in? As my sister lives their and just wondered what part you lot classify it as?!

[Rezillo]

Lucky, I have to read 3! This one, Midlands one and Lincolnshire one...... God bless Peterborough!! We are on the border of a few other counties so it makes it difficult sometimes but I tend to stick to this one, I think Suffolk weather affects those in Kent more TBH honest so prob best they are paired with London and SE.

Thanks to Paul for the shiny new home

I can see where you're coming from on this but for weather here, I look to what's happening in Norfolk, Essex, Cambs and..... the North Sea. The other problem is that leaving East Anglia in the thread name is really confusing when Suffolk is a major part of East Anglia. There's bound to be posts ending up in both threads. Anyway, enough from me.

I skipped many posts unless they were from someone in the 3 counties or EA which says it all really...or unless it was from Nick Sussex, Steve Murr or the like.

Exactly what I was doing

Welcome one, welcome all & welcome "hare" to the East Anglian thread

In total this week we've had about 10cm (estimate allowing for a bit of melt/compaction etc) in my part of Norwich (NR3), one very heavy shower today about 08:45 and a few flurries. It's amazing how many showers today have gone east or west of Norwich itself

Look East forecast this evening had it looking good for tomorrow night/Sunday - warning of Heavy Snow (with the heaviest in the east, her words not mine!) from Sat Evening right through Sunday

Heres hoping the lovely Julie has nailed it for a change!

Monkston is East

[Blizzard_of_Oz]

Lol. Well I'm hoping for a bit local rivalry with Ware if the B.B.C. are calling it a local Snow fall event lol, sorry Ware people.

[Buckster]

if Sundays event moves further South can Essex move to the S-East thread please ?

Yes, I know the situation is evolving, but last night at midnight, Rob McElwee showed a huge band of snow across central, southern and eastern england, then this morning, just 6 hours later, Carol showed absolutely nothing. Then tonight Rob was back on, showing snow in the extreme east, for maybe norfolk, suffolk, essex and kent. Talk about constantly changing!

Edit: sorry forgot to mention that the above is for Sunday.

Bucks is one of the three counties.

I know, I live here, that was my point

Hi all,

Thank you Chilly Milly. Looking at radar have a big shower just E of concrete cows seemingly heading my way. There are loads developing in the N Sea and The Wash also heading towards us so may have little more to talk about later.

Brilliant new thread I'm just north of the Herts/Cambs border, and frustrated reading of all the snow in Kent!

Had a flurry an hour or so ago, bright and clear again now.

[Bolton67]

we will all see some decent snow on sunday.

[saint]

Monkston is East

Thanks!

[Wayneywoo]

Maybe we'll wake up to a surprise in the morning.......referring to the snow for the sharp witted amongst us

They know about as much as us TBH. I guess the best is to wait for updates Tomorrow. Think we will get it though.

[janetmh71]

Dont get too excited about those showers coming off the wash as I am not seeing anything out of them . . . not that not seeing snow fall is unusual . . in fact most of our snow has fallen under cover of darkness in the very very early hours of the morning. Have actually not seen a decent snow shower in daylight hours. . . hmmm strange

Well yes wasnt the Snow a few days ago only going to be in the West mainly and look what happened on the night the B.B.C. did not know what to do when it was also in the Eastern Region. Warnings after it was coming down lol. However 1 of our more experienced forecasters on here did say it would come East the night before the main event when every 1 was looking for the Prozac, so just wait and see.

[Snowangel-MK]

Just had another inch in the last five minutes over here in the East....

Only joking, a very light dusting of very hard to see fine powder snow.
