I’m not far from Cranbrook and it’s still heavy rain here
Hardly living up to expectations is it....? pretty bloody poor so far in fact.

Met Office still bullish though. Last update 5am

Keep checking the NW radar. To the South East of me there's a couple of bands of Heavier snow but crap here at present..

Just watched Darren Bett on BBC weather.
It looked like last nights data/forecast as still showing heavy falls for SE
Although he did say they don't expect heavy snow in SE on Monday.
I recon the updated forecasts this morning will be very different!
I'm getting the feeling this yet another damp squib fail!
Good morning Snowblizzard, fellow Tonbridgidian!! You North or South Tonbridge?

Frazzled but too excited to sleep? I'm glad I got 3 hours haha!
I managed about the same! Mind you I'm a crap sleeper anyway. A mouse farting three miles away wakes me up The missus can sleep for Britain however

This still looks like a Reverse Kent Clipper to me
However many times I run the radar it does not get any better unless you are in Kent
Mad isn't it? Despite computing power, human experience and intuiution, it still behaves completely differently to the educated expectation

Morning all,
Just woke up and the weather isn't really doing much...bit of light sleetiness in the wind. just read through the last few pages, a lot of disappointment and arguing but fingers crossed it's just delayed, I still feel excited
Now for a cuppa and a spot of lamp post watching
1.8c here
Morning! I feel frazzled

Wind starting to howl here and pretty sure there is flakes in amongst the drizzle
As I typed out my long diatribe I saw that in the light of the lamppost

Despite some haughtiness about people trusting what apps say, the ‘event’ has been continuously pushed back for a ever later start. The Met office had our area down from 2am for the start. The Dutch radar that was showing from around 3/4am has delayed now to much later on. Of course, the weather will do as it pleases but it highlights, perhaps quite painfully, the sheer complexity of how our weather systems work and how, when you try to convince a somewhat already sceptical public that climate change needs urgent address, no matter how many millions of pounds are poured into ever more complex computers that try to unlock the secrets of our climate, that they are often hopelessly wrong! It’s the crying wolf effect. I’m still hopeful of course that the boys will get a snowball fight today but it goes to show how basic our understanding of the weather really is.

If I type out what I actually think I’ll go the same way as Mr Murr...
it’s looking like we may truly be cursed though I’m still crossing everything

Genuine question... if the storm is tracking N/NE, which it appears to be (been watching it for the last hour), what would make it split out and branch over the channel to the UK? The direction of the wind?
This is exactly as the met and bbc have said it would go so im not worried, just a genuine question.
Wind direction will be SW as it tracks over the North Sea pushing it down over Kent etc

Darren Bett
Looks gutted on the 1928 forecast.
”worse conditions” lol.
Looks very good for most of our region.
There’s a real bias with some of them isn’t there?

Very promising latest BBC weather forecast for all the region with quite a considerable extension West, I'm not sure whet either clipping Kent and Essex part came from? I notice the Amber area now says 10cm+ instead of 5-10cms and she said for the first time 20 to 25cms in places!!! Bit of a ramp from Louise Lear there!!
Goodluck southeasterners
I'm in a state of excited anticipation lol

It's been moved back and back. Its great to sit where you are and scoff at others but, if you're honest, it's hardly the 'day after tomorrow scenario' which some other members tout. You'd have to be a bit thick to believe we were getting that but it's pretty poor thus far. You can't blame others scepticism, not the first time a talked up 'event' turns out to be a wet fart...
