Can anyone in the Norfolk Suffolk area last time we had snow that came in from the west that has caused distribution? Everytime this event Comes in from the west, we either have the front fizzle out, or cold wet/ sleety rain, I’d be absolutely shocked if I was to come here on Wednesday morning to say we have a white out.

That warning looks exactly what I was thinking of, maybe too marginal right on the coast but 10-20 miles inland looks ok.

Further east is at less risk of the system coming through sooner and stating more as rain for longer. Luckily the trend thus far today has been to actually sligjtly slow down the progress of the frontal systems movement. Even a couple of hours may make the difference between a rain-snow event, and a pure snow event. I think Kent/Essex/Suffolk/Norfolk have a fair shot at getting a pure snow event. I think places further west of there may have at least some rain beforehand to deal with, but once the snow starts it shouldn't make much difference.

06z GFs has shifted north for Thursday due to the angle of the LP and the shape which is not great.

However it is now on the northern end of the model range so nothing yet too be concerned about on that front and obviously we have Tuesday to get through first.

Those on the south coast will always struggle simply because ahead of the front winds will be southerly, for coastal areas and places within 5-10 miles that onshore flow is complete killer for settling snow. I'd be surprised especially in Kent coastal towns if there won't be snow but whether it is likely to settle well enough to justify a yellow warning, that is probably questionable.

I'm happy with the 5-10cms range for most of us here, maybe a little more IF the front is slower than expected in moving west, and a lot less (1-3cms) IF the front is a little quicker, with maybe the warning zone reducing in size to take out western parts. DFor now I think the METO warning is bang on the money however.

Only really 1-3cms for the majority reading the text of the warning. 5cms for some and 10cm possible over high ground. Was kind of hoping for more.

I think some in even in the south of that warning area will struggle to see the snow settling with relatively high few points. I would say E Midlands, E. Anglia and Lincolnshire have a good chance of it all being snow.

Wouldn't take a huge shift to make this an all snow event for our region, rather than a rain > snow event. 

Given the continued uncertainty with exact tracking/intensity I certainly wouldn't rule that out just yet. Fairly confident many will see snow however, it's unlikely they'll be a shift big enough to take the entire thing too far Southwards. So happy I have Tuesday off work and don't start work until Wednesday afternoon. BRING ON THE SNOW!
