  1. Actually just gone from nothing over North Sea to several little showers cropping up
  2. The difference a bit of elevation makes is amazing really. Quite a nice dusting in hills above Chartham
  3. Frequent heavy snow and hail. Drive all white but still only a dusting on the grass. Heading over downs to Ashford!
  4. Our Kent streamer has shifted very slightly west. Now getting frequent showers just west of Canterbury and falling as wet snow rather than earlier sleet/rain, so looks like temp and DP dropping a bit
  5. I'm in the top of that triangle and can so far report......nothing
  6. Super marginal.at best snizzle/drizzle up here at nearly 250feet asl
  7. Agreed. Large sat echo moving south from Norwich and not diminishing, meanwhile 2m temp and dew point here super cold compared to recent past
  8. Just as per other reports turned to sleety rain here now. Temp up to 1.7. DP 0.5
  9. Dew point -1.1 temp 1C here in hills SW of Canterbury.wet but starting to lay well
  10. Settling well now Chartham, about 250 ft asl SW of Canterbury. Roads showing first signs of settling snow. Was already laying well about 1 hour ago on the drive back through Charing at the top of Charing Hill.
  11. Been steady to heavy small flakes. From 8.30 this morning. Measures 6.5cm on level surface here at Chartham near Canterbury. Took dog for walk. she's fast asleep now. Knackered! Think we should get about 8cm total maybe? Just above that 3 inch magic figure! Right off to start lunch and open wine!
  12. Almost an inch Chartham Downs. Bit of height difference. not amazing obviously but pretty and off out in a. momet
  13. Yes good point. That is only one model isn't it? We surely can't say it's 100% right over all others right at this point in time can we?
  14. Should get that! Reckon system is about 40 to 50 miles from Thames.
  15. Netweather radar has the curl back only about 50 miles from Thames estuary so something should definitely fall from the sky from East London across to Kent coastiwould have thought. Perhaps light. But something.
  16. More or less same here. Just back from walk. No thaw out of bit of sun we had. Clouding up now.
  17. To be honest extreme North Kent may see sleety wet snow but we may be best not to clutch straws - upper air may just be too warm. Later this evening though it looks like warm air disappears and we get a snow event more to Eastern parts of Kent
  18. Where abouts off NE Kent Coast. Must be right on edge?main thrust seems to be down SW direction fro Sittingbourne ish!
  19. Well said. Extreme SE residents better off being excited about convective showers off North Sea. Often lands us many inches of snow. Have lived here many years to know that frontal stuff from NW usually a bit marginal. Same for poorly placed Channel Lows. If we get snow Monday then bonus! But if not then raise a glass to more Northerly regions, try not to be disappointed and enjoy Tuesday to Thursday. It's not worth a heart attack guys!
  20. Great walk with mad Labrador chasing and eating snow. Some of the drifts against the hedges caught me out - snow over top of boots! 12cm with some deep drifts in the hills around Canterbury. Been very lightly snowing all morning.
  21. can confirm this on the hills at Chartham about 3 miles W of Canterbury
  22. Right - logging off to go and have a look out of the window - or I'll miss the lot being stuck in front of a 12 inch laptop screen!!
  23. Thanks Dubmuffin that page has just been bookmarked. Now need to update aging (but good) weather station for one that can give me RH
