Typical! Amber warning doesn't quite make it to Norwich! 

No warning for Brighton either, why am I living here  

[Dr cat]

Cambs snow shield in full effect if the gfs is right looks good for Norfolk though

[Nick F]

Sunday snow could have a bit of dust in it too, low moving NE from Iberia over next 48 hours will drag a lot of dust up from Sahara across Europe and will wrap into the snow pushing our way for Sunday.

You'll be fine

Hopefully it'll turn red in due course

It’ll put up a good fight I’m sure

Wow!  Never eat orange snow?

Yeah, based on the UKV snow depths by 00z Monday, would have expected an orange finger/sausage to stick further W/SW around the south of London - maybe they may extend tomorrow if the models settle more on where highest totals could be. There's still some variation between UKMO GM / UKV and GFS, EC and ICON. EC more conservative with snow amounts away from the Amber warning area.

Lovely Amber Warning

What a day it has been, looking like it will come off till on the models at this time out could mean some very heavy snow and deepest since 2018 most likely now is the time to get excited.

Yellow snow....

funny how we are talking about Sundays event with me sitting here with my windows open as its so nice at mo

Intrigued to see how low the night time minima could be over East Anglia during next week. With good snow cover I'm hoping minus double figures isn't out of the question? Glad I filled up on heating oil last week!

Morning guys , well things are shaping up pretty nicely , looking good for lots of us in the region . Fingers crossed for us on the south coast will get some snow too , it’s been far too long since I have seen falling snow ! Anyway I’m off to get my covid vaccine and hopefully when I get back on here later the weather warnings are upgraded

Yet again we see the extreme moderation of UHI in London. Not much in the way of lying snow on that chart.

Haha yeah tell me about it! I'm SE Chelmsford near the Galleywood A12 junction, and was wondering if I'd sneaked in 

Pretty sure we'll do OK though!

 Same area as me (Galleywood) - hoping for something similar to 2nd February 09

Lol GFS has that warm sector back it seems, no snow in the southern amber zone.

Better not be grey snow lol, won't be the same.

Absolutely awful model please please take no notice of it, its absolute canon fodder cant stress that enough times.

Try to think of a Formula 1 Car lining up against and old Ford Anglia and you get close to its capabilities

Ooh - I'm within a gnat's chuff of the amber area.

Expect more updates though!

I am not sure if I am or not. I seem to be on the line. Where are you?

I think these are more representative than actual

I’ve been wrapping up some of the more delicate shrubs.  Getting the solid fuel ready if we have a fire. Even dubbined my rigger boots.

The greatest forecast I’ve ever seen.....As a teenager living in Essex I was going bezerk. The nonchalant manner he describes temps rising from minus 11 to minus 5

 

I was living in Heybridge , and had just passed my driving test the Oct before.

I was seeing a fella in bradwell on sea, and told my dad I was going to drive down there.... in all that snow.

needless to say I wasn’t allowed, for a huge b****cking for even suggesting it.

the road from maldon to bradwell on sea, once past latchingdon, is a bit remote and bleak...and flat! The drifts would have been ridiculous.

Live up near a Danbury now, rural and high up , so I’m hoping for some decent snow this weekend.

Latest Euro 4 very much in line (and probably an influencer of) the met office warning areas

2-5cms widely, 10-20cms for Eastern parts of Suffolk and Essex along with Northern Kent - and that's only through until lunchtime on Sunday....
