the met outlook for us in ramsgate tonight is that we have forecast heavy snow from 6pm until 3am but.......bbc show us with the odd flake occasionally.... your guess is as good as mine !!

I'd take that. 

Suns strength gone by 3pm.

Then bring it on.

Snow falling after sunset would be much more preferable.

If we could then have freezing cold surface temps of the continent for a few days I'll have quenched my cold thirst and be happy.

Light snow on and off here. Seem to be just missing the heavier stuff. Seems the convection is here most of the day and I’m sure I saw somewhere at midnight the twig is still over us? 
 

 

Yeah.

Defo hoping for better than the odd flake falling.

If we can keep cloud cover it would help slow any thaw.

That sun has some strength to it today.

Theres a 2degree difference between having sun or cloud right now..

Going on last nights charts this evening was always looking better for us 

Wasnt expecting things to get going till mch later today..

Thoughts ?

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Moderate flurry now.

Temp dropped bck to 0c..

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Dark clouds to the East.

Still the sun shines.

Temp  briefly up to 2c (fallen back to 1c)

Snow sliding off conservatory roof..

None of this is amusing me

Bring on them showers..

Oh I am! It has started earlier anyway, I didn’t expect any showers till this aftenoon! Four days of snowfall is fantastic! However I’m always greedy, aren’t we all? Haha

Have you got falling snow now ?

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Radar is deceiving 

Says snow (showers)

Sunny and temps up to 1c already

Clouds do look good heading over towards Canterbury, enjoy!

No snow in Thanet right now falling.

Sun is out.

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Morning fine peeps 

Temp -0.3c

So only just below Zero.

I can tell you we just had a small flurry so that equates to 4 days of falling snow plus 4 days of lying snow with possibilities today.

It's no mother of all cold and snowy spell but frankly after the last 3 years of nowt it will do fine 

Many thanks Snow gods..

II’ve had a look at UKV tonight. Suggestion is that as the wind swings more NE a convergence zone pivots from the Thames estuary southwards, so the band will move southward at the westerly point as the night progresses. By midday tomorrow the pivot should be from the estuary to Brighton before moving even further east during the afternoon. So those areas in the pivot zone should get some snow depending upon the strength of the convergence and wind strength.  Perhaps 2-5 cm in some areas.

The last chance saloon for these areas methinks

I thought East kent/Kent was more in the firing line tmrow wth that convergence along wth east sussex.?

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Hopefully 1 last through of the dice..

Roads are lethal tonight as are pavements.

The wind out there is perishing 

Temp currently -1.5c

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Phew.

Temp now back down to -1.2c

My snow is now safe for another day..

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

O. Just been in the Mods.

Not many happy people so quickly got out...

Temp is now back at or below zero...

Good ground cover still but had some melting on path areas. Will be very icy this evening..

Yes deepest FI but the Control shows it's hard to get rid of a block

Actually wth late February sun and a gentle southerly that will feel quite spring like one would think.

 I’m reading this very differently (doesn’t mean I’m right though)

Convergence lines are basically a slow moving trough, which would lead to persistent snow over many hours’

On those charts the convergence line doesn’t appear to move a huge distance in 12 hours?  from +24 to +36 maybe 40/50 miles.

Meaning snow for longer and higher accumulations for those under it.

Agree.

Some places in kent , E. Sussex could spend 4-6 hrs under persistent snow streamers like today but I'm expecting more intensity tmrow..

Not great here today temps have risen to 1.2c so far after two ice days. (Suns been in and out )

Saying that theres not mch dripping going on  ..

Hey matey do you have a link to the latest Fax charts for tomorrow? Struggling to find them!

Tis ere..

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

Temp exactly 0.0c

Overcast again after a few glimmers of sun.

Still a few flakes blowing around.

Personally now looking forward to tomorow afternoon/Evenings offerings 

Convergence over kent/Sussex says beefy showers to my eye..

I am liking the look of that!

Yep

Looking hopeful of 1 more day of seeing snow falling tmrow before a freezing cold few days..

Hopefully the snow sticks around atleast till the weekend so it can go down as a noteworthy spell (already is in my book).

Snow flurries punched wth glimpses of sun here..

[South East, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 8th February onwards]

3rd straight morning snowing all be it light (as I speak heavy).
