Streamer setting up that could benefit Cambridge by looks of it?

Seems to be LOTS of snow left in the North Sea! Hoping for the roads to go proper white later when it’s dark! Possible? 

Very possible 

[john mac1]

So still got very light snow but there a change. It’s starting to settle on the garden furniture and garage roof. 
 

I’ve even got a snow drift

It’s picking up little more here now and starting to settle more.

Its still at M11 for me. Must be 3 or 4 miles away.

[scrat]

Was worth the wait.....loving this x

[Snowman.]

Starting to settle on roads now, temps is still coming down puddles are freezing as well as the slush with fresh snow on top.

Looking hazardous.

[Mr_Pessimistic]

Well got about an inch or so, and I'm in the amber zone!  Only about 5" short of predictions.  But I guess there is "more to come".  Ha ha!!

[Gowon]

Snow settling everywhere now.. All the puddles from earlier are covered and i have icicles hanging from my canopy.

If I’m not misremembering what I’ve read, that’s the idea. I’m really watching for a Thames streamer type system for our areas. There is so much building in the North Sea, and as temps fall I can see it settling much easier than it did this morning

Fingers crossed

[Snowy Bob]

Hoping to see a lovely gorgeous orange glow this evening.

[Great Plum]

Snow is now settling on pavements and roads here 

 

Temp -0.1c

dp -1.3c

[RichmondWeather]

Pretty disappointing here in Teddington compared to the event two weeks ago. No snow settling at all, just a cold brisk wind with flakes floating about all day.

[Matty88]

Ok the snizzle is getting a bit more potent here now... have a feeling I’m in direct line with that streamer coming into Norfolk... flakes getting bigger too.

Just about enough to turn the moss a tint of white!

[tight isobar]

1-quick point of note : radar or no radar streamer like convection.. is almost a pop up notion.. and will be miss fired..overide via radar... this is where it gets both messy synopticaly.. and interesting.. estuary streamers can cause “explosive precipitation “ in a very short period.. and leave those under it.. dumbfounded...@plenty going on... @plenty to watch for

The ppn appears to be moving more inland now for members further west.

[Weathizard]

Pathetic event here in Brighton, sun even came out earlier  

Went out for my daily jog and didn’t even feel that cold, certainly didn’t feel the apparent -5 it’s meant to ‘feel like’ outside.

snizzled for a few hours, zero settled.

[Buckster]

Settling on roads here too (Essex)

[Mark]

Was worried about the break up, but there is definitely more building into the EA coast. 

[Daniel*]

Settling here finally not on concrete  

[Hammer]

Hours of waiting for heavy band. Then it decays and still a few miles east. 

 

[Tim Bland]

Been on the periphery all day with light snow on and off. Can imagine it’s just as frustrating up in Norwich with snow both sides. Streamers setting up further north and band edging north a bit so will hopefully squeeze  out the dry zone...

[Mr Brown]

Snow here in London looks almost like the fake snow you see in theatre productions. Very dry.

Mate when using NW radar click precipitation type(weather type)... it’ll cast a different scope.. and make it a little easier to decipher

Does anyone know if winds will start to veer ENE at any point this evening or overnight?  

Tbh, if you cycle back half hour or an hour even, it looks to me that the band of snow is already moving in less of a SSW direction and more SW perhaps even WSW soon. Some definite adjustments on NW extra's radar lite, as if you add in the wind direction layer, this confirms what I've said above. There has already been a definite shift, I'm certain of it. So fingers crossed!!! 

[Ian Docwra]

An interesting phenomenon here - the temperature has been at between +0.2C and +0.4C all afternoon.  We have a latticed metal patio table and the snow has only sporadically settled on it, otherwise melting.  Now, at +0.4C, there are long icicles hanging down.  I presume the strong wind has caused evaporation from the metal and cooled it enough for freezing to occur.  This may also explain some others finding metal objects with ice while snow melts - it really is that marginal.
