Any more snow reports for SE Kent? Aylesham, Canterbury areas.

Snowing nicely in Eythorne (between Dover and Canterbury), just starting to cover the road. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Just starting here in Eythorne nr Dover 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Hi jodaw84,

Well done, the good 'ole East Kent Streamer!! Eythorne located in the old Kent coalfield. No doubt, you weren't around in Feb1983 but your area was buried in snow!! Take a look at this chart:

Regards,

Tom. 

The year before i was born! Now if only we could get anything close to that again

Im in Eythorne, a good inch here and still hammering it down. I love an east kent clipper! 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 26/03/2018 onwards]

Cool and 100% cloud cover near Dover, Kent. Really hoping it will burn off a bit this afternoon as it's pretty miserable really. 

Edit: things do appear to be brightening up slightly.

Whoop whoop just in the amber warning! ?

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

Eythorne nr Dover. Snow is still heavy but finer so I'm assuming do is dropping. Hoping it starts laying on the roads soon.

Still got heavy snow for 4 hours here but a different times to earlier.

Yep I see that for here too, it was more the hirlam model showing the heavier stuff further north west

Yep. Raindrops freezing the moment the hit a solid surface. Living in Germany in the mid-nineties I've experienced this several times. Most dangerous kind of winter weather. On one occasion it hadn't been forecast and the minute it started the local American Forces Network radio and tv stations interrupted all their programmes to issue road condition black (no-travel for military personnel on or off base; schools, stores, offices that are open on immediate lock down). We ended up with a 3cm ice layer that took 36 hours to melt despite temps rising up quickly above freezing.

Wow! I can see it frozen to the windows outside, really odd! I can see why it's so dangerous! 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

It's stopped now but there does appear to be a sheet of ice on the car windscreen. Freezing rain?

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Can confirm sleety rain in Eythorne nr Dover (90m asl) ??

 

 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Snizzle!!!!!

Edit: Proper snow!!!!!! ?

At least Kent has seen loads of snow. 

Not this little bit here in the south east of the south east! 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Is Thurs/Fri snow now not expected to get as far East as the south east corner?

Waaaaaa

Again!!!!!!!! I'm hoping it might get it's act together in an hour or 2 and come a little more south east or widen?

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

While everyone else enjoys more snow, what's the thoughts on tonight? I think thats it for today for East Kent. I know you shouldn't really trust it but the met office app looks better tonight than last night. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Well it took it's time!!!!!! ? About an inch here in Eythorne, Dover. 

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

If the wind veers more easterly would that help us far south east Kent folk out? The showers die a death as soon as they hit land in the middle between the north Kent streamer and the channel streamer

Literally in the middle with nothing! ??

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

I am starting to think us East Kent peeps are going to miss out this week ???

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 11/02/2018 onwards]

Oh I didn't think of that! I also have an autistic child (5 year old) who loves his iPad! Luckily he also seems to love the snow as he spent ages crunching about in the garden in it a couple of weeks ago when we had a sprinkling!
