live from Great Yarmouth, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
where tonight the East coast is on severe alert | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
All day, thousands of residents in coastal towns have been | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
as gale force winds and high tides threaten to overwhelm sea defences. | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
Soldiers are on stand-by along the coast to help. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
There will be around 12 hours of disruption here, people are just | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
hoping that the high winds never arrive. | :00:37. | :00:37. | |
Stay with us for the next half hour as we ask the experts what to expect | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
when high tide arrives later this evening. | :00:42. | :00:42. | |
In other news tonight, The Government gives the greenl ight | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
to a host of road schemes to get the region moving. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
And much of the region gets its first taste of winter. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
We have the best of your weather pictures. | :00:51. | :01:03. | |
Here in Great Yarmouth the people wake up to snow as they did in many | :01:04. | :01:16. | |
places across the region, it is very cold and there is a strong wind | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
blowing and it could be much worse would this evening. There are 17 | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
severe flood warnings in operation across the region, that means there | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
is a danger to life, there are 89 other flood warnings. Deadly you | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
where the problems are. Starting at Norfolk around to Great Yarmouth, in | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
Suffolk and Southwold is down to Felixstowe and in Essex, Clacton and | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Southend. Lots of people worrying about the high tide, it will come | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
the series around 9pm and 11pm and as you can see people are filling up | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
sandbags. The Council have put in sand and have told people to come | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
along with their own bags and shovels and to go and protect their | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
homes. Let's start in Great Yarmouth. | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
Warning people to leave their homes because of a severe flood risk which | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
means there is a real danger. Many have been advised to leave, many are | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
not keen to go. I have never gone, but it has come right to the edge of | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
the curb, just out here. The last time in 2013. But nothing, so... I | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
am just going to stay and pray lucky. This morning's high tide came | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
and went without problems, tonight high tide is what everyone is | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
concerned about. If there are 50-60 mph winds down the tide is likely to | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
breach the first and that is because there is no sea defence is of the | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
water will easily flood these homes. These are preparing for the worst, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
filling up sandbags to protect their homes. The panicking, I'm trying to | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
sort something. Hopefully the wind will keep it away. It has happened a | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
couple times before it has not quite got our house but I would rather be | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
prepared. You can get away with it forever, it is bound to happen one | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
year. Lives and Roman have spent the morning moving their possessions and | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
the cat upstairs away from any possible floodwaters. Touchwood, | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
fingers crossed, we hopefully get away with it but as an all boys | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
could only to be prepared. It is not just flooding, late morning the snow | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
for -- the snow as forecast arrived, really Great Yarmouth battling some | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
of the worst weather combinations. To make the police are concerned | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
that people are not moving from their homes. If the event goes the | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
way that it could with the warnings we have had that would then turn | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
into a rescue operations I would urge people to heed the warnings and | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
evacuate. Tonight, 200 military personnel are on stand-by to help | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
with the evacuation. It is now a waiting game which many hope is not | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
won by the strong wind and tide. Let's stop to see people filling the | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
sandbags. Mark Kate and Telecom already went -- ready live? I live | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
in Newtown. We will stay there. We sell is happening three years ago in | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
2013 but you have to take precautions. So we're just filling | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
up sandbags and blocking the doorway is. I have done about so far today I | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
have done about 20 sandbags but that is for relatives as well. Eight what | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
about you? We live nearby. The army have told us to leave so we will | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
front it out. Have you moved things in the house? We have moved some | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
things upstairs. They say should leave, why don't you? I have a dog, | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
had will not go anywhere without the dog. They have said where we can go | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
but if you get overcrowded I would rather leave it to the elderly. They | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
reckon this will get bad at around nine or ten o'clock. Nine or 930 and | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
I have heard it will be worse than last time. I'm keeping an eye on the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
place and looking around so the worst comes to worst then we will | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
get out. Where would you go? I have relatives in case showcases high | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
ground follows. Sorry to interrupt your digging. Fingers crossed for | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
you tonight. It is about 5000 homes here, further down the coast of | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
course is thousands more. One of the places we look at was direct, let's | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
see what the situation there is tonight. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
This is a high risk flood zone with many low-lying truly construct its | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
single-storey buildings. At lunchtime today and in 3000 people | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
were feared to be in danger from the tidal surge. The lunchtime high tide | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
has come and gone without incident at the wind has really got up well | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
as the real concerns about the high tide tonight. This afternoon the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
emergency services were gathering ahead of a concerted evacuation | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
programme. Fire crews and police visiting homes and advising people | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
to to safety. Hazel who lives near the sea wall was planning to return | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
to a rest centre. They told us it is going to be bad tonight. At the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
moment I have just come home to have a cup of tea and something to eat | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
and wait from a husband to come home from work. Then we will get sorted | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
out. Helen Davies deciding to stay. Your close of the sea wall. I am, I | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
have been in situations before around the weather and if you have | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
been through a panicking before abroad, so I have stuck things out | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
before so we will see how things go. Martin, he retired to his home on | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
stilts two years ago. I will remain until high tide when I will leave | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
for an hour. When it is if you come back and will come back panel | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
comeback. James is chief executive of the Environment Agency which | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
issued the severe weather warning. We will not apologise for putting | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
people's lives first, we know the history and we know that sadly here | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
in 195337 people died when the sea came over the wall. The sea came | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
very close in 2013 at the top of the law here in Jay Wick and we'll | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
always bear on the side of caution. Several hundred people could spend | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
the night at the rest centre, many signing in with their pets like | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Gloria Carter. Joyce Holloway is here with her neighbour Charlotte. | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
We going home having registered, going home, having something to eat, | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
getting ready to come back this evening until we know it is safe to | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
go home. It is the worry isn't it? Everybody's been put through. And | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
when you get our age you don't want these worries. A police search and | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
rescue unit and Essex search and rescue volunteers are on hand as the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
hours tick away until the next high tide just after midnight. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
Let me give you some figures. The council had said that 250 tonnes of | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
sand bottom, 10,000 bags, people are coming of the time and filling the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
bags. If you look at the properties behind me these houses which should | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
have been evacuated but there is a light on in every property so we | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
reckon about 60% of people are staying in their own homes. Let's | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
talk to the Flood Minister who is in Suffolk. You have been having a look | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
around, what is your reaction to what has gone on today? Goal I am | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
really impressed that people have been responding to the request to | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
evacuate. We are used to postal surges but this has the high wind | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
attached to it which is why severe warnings have been issued and it is | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
important that people take expert advice and if they're in that area | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
then do get out, there are places where you have friends and family | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
and the these centres that are being stuffed and I want to thank the | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
volunteers and council officers who are working hard to make people | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
comfortable. Are you disappointed that we are hearing that between 60 | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
and 70% of people are staying in their homes? We can't force people | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
to leave, but they must remember back to 2013 when there was damage, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
what is different this time is that we don't know quite what the impact | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
will be because the wind is strong but the mother wins can change | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
suddenly and in fact in 2013 is the wind had not dropped at a critical | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
moment the damage would have been worse so I want to encourage people | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
to think about their priorities, that we want to help them be safe | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
and in many places in Great Yarmouth and elsewhere along this coast, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
leaving their homes and going somewhere safe is the most important | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
thing they can do to write. From which you are, what have you seen | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
that you have gone round the course? This morning I was in London and the | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
National Flood centre for the initial report and then today I have | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
been in J Wick where people are working hard, the Environment Agency | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
has been out deploying the barriers as was expected. Now we have seen | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
help from the Armed Forces comment alongside our emergency services, | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
they have all been really proactive and the main priority is to help | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
people be safe. This level of preparation should give people | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
confidence but it should not be complacent either. There will be | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
people at this to say we should do more, is the more we could do? The | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
government has over a six-year period in this -- is over a six-year | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
period investing ?2.5 million in defences around the country. The | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
asking the people will not vote in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Felixstowe, crack and Intuit, and we continue to develop schemes where we | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
continue to invest and protects people as best we can but today in | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
particular with this insurgency high winds we want people to focus on the | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
safety. We are going to have a look at what | :11:43. | :11:51. | |
else is happening in Suffolk with Kevin Burke. Last night that | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Felixstowe Ferry we watched as locals did what they could to | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
prepare for an onslaught. Today the moment of truth junior with high | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
tide expected around midday but open for business closer to the water 's | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
edge than most, the aptly named Spring tide fish shop. Mother nature | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
is a force that you can predict when she comes knocking on your door, you | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
have to accept that at the end of the day. It is part of living in a | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
coastal community. If you were to not expected then move in town! In a | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
car park buses were on stand-by to move residents but in the end | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
neither they nor the boards would slot into this gap in flood defences | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
were needed. The surge in 2013 game higher. Environment Agency and | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
police have to be with the fail-safe saw the times we get situations | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
where we to trigger the various levels as it has turned out we have | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
not got the but we do need to be ahead of the game. With the high | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
tide having been and gone there is the sense of relief here but not | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
much because a second tide is coming in later that could prove more | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
difficult and at the moment teams in the Environment Agency are walking | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
down the stretch of coast just to check now also been punched in the | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
sea defences because if they have the need to be plugged before the | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
second tide comes in. In Lowestoft the water was not as high but they | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
had in use for the first time ever they flood barriers. Tonight 's tide | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
could prove a much sterner test for the town where three years ago 165 | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
homes and businesses were swamped. This evening there are severe flood | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
warnings and we are likely to test the temporary barriers. They will do | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
a good job and lessen the risk of flooding in the town but they don't | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
do the whole job. In Lowestoft that the ferry in the fairly be no wait, | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
one critical moment has passed but another is looming. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
I have just seen a car going off with its backlight down with | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
sandbags, that's it for now and we will be back in Great Yarmouth and a | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
little while but now back to Suzy. The Government has promised that | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
work on several long awaited road schemes in the region will start | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
in the next four years. It's re-committed itself | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
to the projects in Cambridgeshire, and it's also given the go | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
ahead for a new motorway Our political correspondent | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
Andrew Sinclair is here. Let's start with the new | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
junction where will it be? It is going to be a few miles north | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
of Harlow and will be called Junction seven hey. There has been a | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
long campaign for a junction out of Harlow, the existing one is often | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
congested and with 15,000 new homes and business growth falling in it is | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
going to be needed. The county council has already agreed to part | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
fund the scheme, now the government suggests construction work and | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
starred in the next two years little to late campaigners are delighted. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
It is an incredibly important moment in the town history and it will | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
unlock business and he is life for thousands of motorists travelling to | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
and from Harlow and will make it easier for businesses to come to our | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
town and increase jobs and prosperity for everyone. It will | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
make Harlow a centre of business and science Centre of excellence. What | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
about the other schemes? Three big projects, the widening of the A12 in | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Essex and upgrading various stages of the a 47. The government promised | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
more than ?1 billion to fund the scheme is back in 2014 but since | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
then everything has gone quiet so that was starting to worry | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
campaigners but now things have suddenly moved forward. I raise | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
England saying it is launching consultations to all those plans and | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
saying that the work will start by 2020. There was more good news, | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
local councillors are getting 11.5 million this year to tackle pot | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
holes. Also money being made available for safety improvements on | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
smaller roads and that is probably it for now afford big board | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
announcements for the region. The budget is now allocated until well | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
past 2020. And Sunday politics is back this | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
week. Yes, taking a close look at the crisis over social care and also | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Stewart has an exclusive interview with Jeremy Corbyn. | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
The region's business leaders were told today they could win | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
contracts worth hundreds of millions of pounds | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
if the Sizewell C nuclear power station goes ahead. | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
Energy giant EDF, which is behind the project in Suffolk, | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
is urging businesses to sign up now as suppliers. | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
Concrete, you need an awful lot of it for a new nuclear power station. | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
It since this company down to the ground. It is already selling its | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
retaining walls to the Hinkley point station in Somerset. That is | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
currently under construction. Being just on the road from Sizewell puts | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
it in prime position to supply Hinkley's sister station. The | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
product can be usefully multitude of applications, from the ground works | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
in the initial stages to potential materials for the construction and | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
right through to security and many other applications so we see this as | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
a very long-term opportunity for our products. Today in Ipswich EDF the | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
company wants to build size will seek urge to local companies to | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
become suppliers. More than 1000 have already signed up. If you take | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
the example from Somerset where there's a war for under the ?60 | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
million worth of contracts already placed, so the stage -- so the | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
opportunities are large especially for this region. There have been | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
lots of delays in getting Sizewell C of the ground, the planning | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
application has yet to be submitted but with Hinkley point under way the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
prospect of Sizewell draws neither. It would provide 7% of the UK's | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
electricity was 25,000 employment opportunities through the lifetime | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
of the project. Most of the major components would have to be imported | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
but local companies like this now they can trade quite happily from | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
other contracts for years to come, safeguarding jobs in the Suffolk | :18:21. | :18:21. | |
countryside. Well, despite the bad weather, | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
we are expecting a full programme Snow does not affect groundsmen, it | :18:25. | :18:37. | |
offers insulation to the pitch to stop at freezing so no news of any | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
postponement. I understand Northampton have a new | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
manager. A familiar name, Justin Edinburgh has agreed it to have your | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
contract. He managed the diamonds before they went into the | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
illustration. He replaces Rob Pater was sacked on Monday. Edinburgh was | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
dismissed by Gillian and ten days ago but given the managerial | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
merry-go-round in football, the team's board think he's the man to | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
time around the fortunes. Ipswich and Norwich have games they | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
will be looking to win. Absolutely, they both play teams in | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
the championship bottom three. For now it is rotten -- Rotherham. Talks | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
appear to be progressing with Swansea, Robbie Brady has been | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
linked with a move to Burnley. No transfer news at Ipswich, it seems | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
to be hard work for manager of both clubs. Teams are throwing money | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
around that is ridiculous. Some of the words I have been hearing about, | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
does not compare to what we're doing so we have been having a tough but | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
we are doing it certainly can -- and will continue to do it. We need to | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
move people out before we bring people in, I don't think that is a | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
surprise. But we're certainly looking to do business. What is this | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
about MK Dons giving away free tickets to every home fan? Ironic, | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
in a week when Norwich gave a -- if an apology for charging too much, MK | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Dons are laying on free travel for the replay, -- at the other end of | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
the scale MK Dons are giving away one free ticket to every fan living | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
in the area. The chairman is hoping to fill the stadium. There are still | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
a lot of people who maybe have not been to Stadium MK, they have | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
excuses, too busy, too expensive, but I don't want any excuses. I want | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
to take this chance to give everyone the opportunity to come to the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
stadium. And we will have coverage of all those Broadway local station. | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
Thank you. More now on the predicted | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
storm surge, which could bring flooding to parts | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
of the region's coast tonight. Let's get the latest | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
from Stewart in Great Yarmouth. Thank you. Mike Johnson is with me | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
from the Environment Agency. What is the latest as far as you know? | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
Looking around the coast, we have many severe flood warnings here in | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, locations on the Suffolk coast and also in | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Essex, places like J Wick. There are a number of locations where we are | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
working closely with emergency services, where we are really | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
concerned about people safety and water coming over the defences. This | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
would be as a result of the tidal surge in strong wind. We have a | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
couple of hours before the high tide comes but it is a strong wind that | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
will make the difference. They are the uncertainty that will add that | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
extra dimension to the tidal surge and hence why we are, why we have | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
agreed with the Norfolk flood control to issue these warnings. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
These winds from the north which makes it difficult. The currently | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
more westerly but the coming north-west and that drives the see | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
further down the North Sea. We have had these warnings in the past, | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
coupled years ago we had warnings and people say they left their homes | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
but actually it did not turn out too badly. And people are very | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
complacent about. What is your message for them? Remain vigilant, | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
take the advice and heed the advice of the emergency services so if they | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
do ask you to temporarily leave your premises I would recommend that you | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
do so. It is about people safety and it is a risk to life if the water | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
does come over. We were telling people last night and we should see | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
again, if you are not supposed to be here then don't be here, .com and | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
have a look. Absolutely, and exposed locations where there will be strong | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
waves crashing against defences and promenades, it is a very dangerous | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
place to be so please stay away. Stay indoors. | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
Thank you and I hope you have a quiet night. It is one of those | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
times, people think that my people seem to be pulling together, people | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
getting the sand and sandbags ready to block the front doors and make | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
sure what doesn't get in but from Great Yarmouth, back to you in the | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
studio. Well, it's not just the flooding | :23:08. | :23:07. | |
we've got to worry about many parts of the region had | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
the first taste of winter And that prompted many of you to | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
share your pictures on social media. Thanks to Neil Hall for this picture | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
of a lone figure in the snow And the snow didn't stop this | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
postman in Winfathing, Here's this little fella in Essex | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
braving the weather. But here's this little one | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
in Northamptonshire, who's thinking, And this really captures | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
the mood on social media - the snow didn't stick around | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
for long in some places across the region but people | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
made the most of it, But let's go to other | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
parts of the county, to Luton now where some places | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
saw the snow settling. And here's how parts | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
of Suffolk looked earlier. Back to Norfolk and this | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
is the scene over Norwich market. And this final picture really | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
captures the weather today: on one hand we have the snow | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
and on the other high tide bringing with it, | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
the risk of flooding Thanks to all of you who have been | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
sending in your pictures to us via Facebook, Twitter and also | :24:19. | :24:27. | |
to our weather watchers. We saw some snow across the region | :24:28. | :24:41. | |
early on this morning, this is how the radar alert when that was taking | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
place. Apache ski and snowboarding southwards. It did turn to more | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
sweet and then back to rain but since then it has to do so and once | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
that cleared the wind picked up and through the course of 1's time into | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
the afternoon we have seen winds of 45 miles an hour. It is still | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
costing 50 miles an hour across the north coast right now. It is the | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
wind causing the issues with the risk of coastal flooding, you can | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
see this northerly wind with tight isobars piling in. That brings the | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
risk this evening of fossil flooding in some parts of the region. The | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
next high tide is coming up this evening across the North Norfolk | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
coast, and gradually through the evening the title work its way down | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
the east coast so we're looking at roundabout nine o'clock for Great | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
Yarmouth, ten for Lowestoft. Half past midnight for Felix J Wick to | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
the quarter to one where the water will be at its highest. If you are | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
at all concerned about the risk of coastal flooding then do all the | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
flood plain number. Of course BBC local radio will keep you updated to | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
the evening as well. Weather-wise we have someone three showers come in | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
across parts of the North and into north-east suffered as well. Dry and | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
clear weather but very cold, 12I sweated snow flurries getting into | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
Northamptonshire literature make with temperatures why the below | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
freezing, -1 -2 but it could get locally under -3 -4 and given the | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
fact we have had some snow which is -- which is partially melted, that | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
brings the risk of ice and the Met office has issued a -- a warning for | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
that. He cold and icy starting Saturday, any isolated showers | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
tending to fade away and for many a lot of dry weather so good the | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
sunshine and you can see what continuous sleet and snow showers so | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
there could be a couple of centimetres here but for many it is | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
dry and cold. 3-5 but add in the wind, not as strong as the day but | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
it will fill quite cold a few exposed to the wind. We continue to | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
see sleet and snow showers but into Sunday the weather front comes in | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
off the Atlantic, slightly milder air trying to come in that it could | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
take all day before that gets to the eastern side of the region. Cloudy | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
with a of rain, sleet, it will be a cold feeling they and rather misty | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
and murky. Temperatures for our five in the east and maybe getting up at | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
a dizzying heights of six or seven in the West. While there does not | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
hang around for a long so for money into the dehydration is building in | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
but a lot of dry weather with sunshine by day and the chilly feel | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
and overnight we continue to see the risk of pretty widespread frost. | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
Thank you. And if you live on because they want to stay in touch | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
with those flood warnings then radio Norfolk and Suffolk are both staying | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
on the air until the danger has passed. That's all from us. We have | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
more tonight. Goodbye. Do they say. | :27:37. | :27:40. |
