Just shows how strong those winds are aloft, the radar cant keep up with the speed of these showers.

Great news about Inland Norfolk

I was wondering why the radar seems so sketchy. Do you think the showers are running out of strength that quickly? If so, we need a more organised band to get going.

Not much for Colchester due?

No, don't think so.  Later in the week still too far out and uncertain but I doubt we'll see too much in the next couple of days.

Seeing some of the snow depth predictions for Tuesday onwards in seriously underwhelming, especially when watching the MetO's forecasts quote "persistent and organised bands of snow". Circa 5cms... Got more than that from the transient stuff bck in Dec! This is "The Beast" would be hoping for around 20cms.

So true, showers are sparking up randomly and becoming more prominent in land. The strong winds, moisture uplift from the sea combined with very cold upper temperature is creating snow showers. Fantastic news for guys in Norwich and Suffolk area. Keep your updates coming in. Magic bat.

Hopefully some of the heavier showers make it over this far.

I wonder why he only did a defined area for snow totals?

In terms of the map? I believe he works for 'Look East' and therefore this is his forecasting region covered.

Flurries starting to pop up more widely now and showers becoming more heavy in the north, promising.

I'm not sure whether you've been reading the forums of late but please note:

1) It's not started yet for Essex.
2) You're in one of the best places in Essex for this event. 
3) It's been mentioned all over the place, snow depth predictions are illustrative only and subject to change. 
4) It's showers, by their very nature some will get lucky, some will not.

Very IMBY, but hey-ho... It seems an accurate prediction as far as the latest GFS goes. It could be that if a streamer set-up were to occur, then it could be higher totals further inland. I reckon that areas to the SW and WSW of The Wash will see quite a lot more than he predicts.
