We often get more snow/rain in this local for some reason, partly due to being about the highest elevation in the county but its around 13-15cm!!!!!!!

And its still falling!! Oh and I am NW of Norwich I put NE Been doing too much snow watching and chart viewing

I absolutely love North Norfolk, you have peaceful countryside, low light pollution and a beautiful coast line that's never overcrowded. Also can get pasted in winter with a good Northerly, East Dereham been known to have a foot of snow from one.

Just asked Chris Bell (BBC Forecaster on Look East) if he can post his picture in this thread which shows 15.5cm of snow North of Norwich, hoping he will oblige in a mo for all the doubters, just seen the picture on Facebook!

Have seen the pic myself, an awesome amount of snow.

Blunt, I understand you may be upset about what you've received today, but you just can't relate the two situations in the same sentence. Today was a surface shortwave feature with embedded polar maritime air diluted slightly by the Atlantic track, heading SE with an internal flow

The POTENTIAL situation being modelled (we should all remind ourselves before we get carried away..by we I mean me...that this is still theoretical) is completely different. Undercutting Atlantic LP pulling in cold continental air.

It would lead to completely different profiles and requirements with regard to snow smile.png

SK

So if i understand well, what we "Might" have on friday is a undercut that will feed us a easterly and that will cause convection from the cold being pulled from the close continent over the sea, which might give us prolonged snowfall specially around our neck of the woods.

Correct me if i'm wrong, still new to this.

got told the band on fri will stall over wales.

So nothing for us lol.

Have to see the met o has me for a flake on friday.

I think this is just the MetO just sort of preparing well ahead of time and trying to touch all bases. As SK up the road notes, this will pull in winds from the SE, low Dew Points, cold and over water so we may manage to get convective snow, and not just have to rely on frontal PPN. That is, IF it happens.

So the netweather's "80% chance" for early in the morning is old and there's little chance of anything around Cambridge? Bit gutted, was hoping for a little bit more really, ah.

Friday is a front coming in from the Atlantic coming up against the wall of cold. We would be fine in the end but the SW could take a big hit. Fine margins and it could very be us that gets plastered.

It amazes me when I have clients come to me here at home and they say OMG you have got so much snow! where I have come form (few miles away there hardly any) but I guess thats just the geographic lay of the land? or perhaps im just waffling now so ill shut up LOL.

Guys in norfolk- the last 2 frames ( 10 mins ) of the norfolk radar sees the PPN wrapping back now as expected in the forecast- so if you have snow now- it may continue going back the other way-

maybe one lucky punter with 20cm by the end-

ENVY- good stuff.....

I think alot of us here in the West of the region are forgetting that the wrap around is still taking shape. I'm seeing signs of the ppn now starting to head SW from the Wash area. Any opinions?

I am very disappointed today with the amount of snow, it really didn't live up to expectations. 2-5cms was predicted and all we got was rain followed by enough snow for a small dusting. Unless that wraparound comes this way, this "event" has been a big fuss over nothing from a SE Suffolk perspective.

Good to see others getting plenty of it though!
