So whats occurring tonight/tomorrow then for Norfolk? In the sun the snow has melted here today but in the shade it's still over you shoes. Main roads are clear and dry, side roads damp/slushy.

Will we get any more snow now?

Still fancy that disturbance in the flow to head east over our region

Wind's backing more to the north - I'm taking it as a good sign of what this evening and night might bring.?:yahoo:

Certainly more stirring out in the North Sea at the moment by the looks of it some oranges and yellows reappearing.

Hard to tell but seem destined for Kent at the moment?

Something about this location. Even when heavy showers approach they split up to the north and south and then join after they pass by. I noticed this over the years. I can't figure out why though. Cursed area

The showers moving towards London are picking up in intensity slightly as they move WSW, looks like the Thames is helping out now.

That could well be quite fruitful for the likes of EA and my part of the world - charts certainly show good precipitation potential over the next 16-20 hours

Light snow again here from a small shower that just appeared on the radar. Looking good convection wise.

About time huh ? I'm further west than you in St Neots. It's high time we were in the firing line

Yeah would be better for whoever gets anything as they will hold any accumulation overnight. Looks like midnight onwards could see a fair bit somewhere if that's to be believed.

Agreed! I have to be honest though, it is a bit of a long shot. There's a high probability we won't do well at all until that main system comes in on Friday. Just being realistic 

Best advise is to keep radar watching but the signs are it's not exactly going to be a snow fest for our parts - it'll just be about getting lucky..

My my this sun is strong.

This area is really bereft of much cloud let alone showers over the last 2 days....any reasons?

The wind has seemingly turned more to an easterly looking at the cloud direction here, which bodes very well for a Thames Streamer (Tickler) to set-up. That shower that just went through appeared out of nowhere, so convection is good.  Could be an interesting night ahead.

Its very overcast here now, clouds kind of yellowy grey so may be about to snow, or i may just be kidding myself.

Cambridge got hit with a couple of hefty snow showers yesterday but other than that it has been a primarily drier sector. 

From memory - easterlies have NEVER favoured these locations highlighted, particularly the more western parts of this zone. For the eastern parts you'd need a solid North/North Easterly to tap into the streamers. When I saw the charts leading up to this cold spell I knew it would be a bit of an uphill struggle as there just wasn't that much in the way of organised activity - the one I did have hope for was last night but this ended up shifting much further North so our county (Cambs) didn't benefit at all. 

The classic conclusion for this kind of cold set up is a big 'finale' dump prior to the mild intrusion - which is Friday night. That'll give the kids most of Saturday morning to play in the snow (forecast 3-6cm) before the onset of the big thaw !
