An interesting thread with some interesting answers. For me, personally, being that most forecasts are hardly what I’d call accurate, I don’t think anyone has a hope in hell of predicting our weather 29 years hence. Not a clue. Get them right 5 days out first before trying to make 30 year ones

We’re over the crest now and the slide down starts in earnest. Look forward to Autumn now.. can’t wait

I’d say that was nigh on perfect

I love this time of year. A couple more weeks of late night light before it starts running back into darker nights and mornings. Perfect. I’ll enjoy a few more weeks of Summer, before Autumn comes along. Love it

Sick of this bloody weather. Most peed off about our Horse Chestnut , which we literally grew from a conker, that has been obliterated. It had got to about 18’ and, apart from one branch, has been wrecked. Sick of our weather at times. It’s all or nothing in this bloody country...

I wouldn't bother, think more of the Alps or somewhere. So much nicer than any of Kent and, more or less, guaranteed snow!!

We haven't had a proper battlefront situation for a good many years sadly

Canterbury definitely been the Kent sweet spot. I’m not surprised since I was born there

Woke to another inch or so here in Tonbridge. Despite a slow start last Sunday with Darcy, it’s actually been a fairly memorable event, more for longevity than intensity but can’t have it all ?

Well I never. Popped out earlier to look at the stars on this crisp, cold and clear night and just noticed it’s chucked it down again!!! Must have snowed quite hard as well as road that had thawed out completely is now completely covered again!!! Boys all excited again lol

Got some in the end Neil

Photo doesn’t do any justice bu still snowing moderate to heavy here in Hawkhurst but, according to the radar, pretty near done in about half hour or so. Hope that’s not Winter’s last hurrah

Yeah it is surprising. Better than nowt though.

I wish I could properly understand all that but thank you for the explanation. Bad luck I guess

I don't understand the reasons why, but had we had the deep cold in place before Darcy, surely the heavy rain we got preceding the event should have meant heavy consistent snowfall?

Yes there does seem to be some disparity between the convection intensity in the SE in comparison to everything further North? Can anyone explain?

Actually quite surprised on waking and seeing it still lightly snowing. Must have added an inch overnight. Very cold. Feel satisfied now. If we don’t get anything else at least we’ve had this.

Yeah it’s just not advancing any further is it?

It's what I tell the Mrs...

Well blew work out and got some fun in the Snow at last IMG_3041.MOV

Yeah same. So wanted a day off work with the kids. I got a bit aggy yesterday about it but felt so let down by the weather. It’s hard to describe but, for me, snowing is about as close as I can get to recreating being a kid and that feeling of anticipation around Christmas. My wife laughed but it’s true. It’s so frustrating because prior to the snow we had 12 hours of persistent, heavy rain. We finally get it cold enough for snow but the precipitation seemed to fade out pretty quick in my opinion. Yeah some spots did well and I’m super jealous but god it was like pulling teeth yesterday here with it. Dire really

I meant the UK as a whole

Been pretty crap here today hasn’t it..

For our latitude it’s the worst possible place for cold

He'd touted 50cm.....
