Quiet in ere, considering this is a 7/10 event now ...

Decent snow flurries at times earlier today.
Is that it for NW/N Kent for today or a little flurry or two this evening?
Loads more incoming on the radar for hours yet ...

A number of reasons are possible - for a start:
1. Drains or pipes running underneath (we have this with our front path)
2. The ground still has some deeper warmth from the mild weather before the snow and this leaches upwards
3. Salt residue
4. Generally, slabs and concrete transmit heat better than grass, and heat leaks from houses' foundations to surrounding areas and warms them enough to prevent anything but brief freezing in strong winds, when the heat leaking out is overwhelmed by the constant influx of colder air. Lighter winds can't take that heat away fast enough.
Thanks, I think this will explain this for a lot of peeps

So I cleared a path to the back door to ease the amount of snow fluffy paws bring in, and then it snows again .... why do I bother !
That grass looks fake!!

Can anyone explain why, with temperatures below freezing, there is absolutely zero settle on my paving slabs all the way up the garden? Generally, not impressive apart from on the grass, despite days of falling snizzle.

Mizzle will take that snizzle as she's seen nothing yet!
It's horrible thou if you need to go to work, it's enough to be dangerous but not enough for a Snow Day!

How's this for a snow shield!
Don't be sorry, it's just snizzle, anyway. Nothing significant.

It's crap here, too, though maybe a couple of inches has accumulated -- its not present on some surfaces (paths). So its shitey -- not enough to cause a snow day, but just enough to be bloody dangerous to travel in. I'd rather it either snowed properly, or not at all.

I'm calling bust, right under heaviest precipitation in country. Been snowing for an hour or more, just not cold enough and very muddy outside with water pouring down gutters still. Time to kip!

Big flakes in Ashford!

People that worry about whether or not snow can settle on wet ground clearly have never seen it happen. I have -- it's like a million snowballs being pelted at the ground. The puddles are the last to go, but they, too disappear.

Direction of flow broadly topright of page to bottom left, so, no.

All I can see outside is "Rain rain rain"

Thinking some people, especially in the west, will AVALON wait for the snow.

Does anyone get the sense the models are potentially (and hopefully) undercooking the convective potential for tomorrow in particular? Some are all about the front, others are factoring some convection in elsewhere (North and West of the front). You do have to wonder... I’m not convinced this is a SE corner only event yet.
You wouldn't be saying that if you were in the SE corner! C'mon, now, objectivity!

It’s very touch and go for us, I think as it stands maybe a little more optimistic then 6 hours ago, our best chance is Monday and Tuesday with the showers
Hello and welcome! Does this help?
