A brief heavy graupel shower here in Tunbridge Wells, just enough to tint things white for a short time.

Here in Tunbridge Wells I have had just over 40 cm so far today.
It really has pretty much been consistent rain all day, with some heavier burst at times.

On the high ground in Tunbridge Wells (I am 139m ASL) it has been snowing seriously since about 7pm. Temperature has been constant at about 0c, with a dewpoint about -0.5c. Roads and pavements covered, cars struggling up the hill.
Probably about 3-4cm at the moment. Better than last night, which was, in turn better than Tuesday.
Good luck to everyone else!

A covering here in Tunbridge Wells. No depth to it, but just enough to make everything white.

Here in Tunbridge Wells, even at my elevation, it has been rain throughout. It just goes to show how marginal these types of event are!
Good luck to everyone else.

As direct a hit for us here as you can get. Astonishing show of force... Difficult to argue that that was a once in a lifetime show, at least here at home.
As Steve Murr said, it truly felt apocalyptic for 30 mins comfortably. Constant lighting,forks crackling across the sky in every direction, constant thunder punctuated by frequent thunderbolt cracks. Direct fork hits only one or two fields from where I was standing (or hanging), torrential rain, everything you could ask for.
And then at the end, after it had all passed (just in the last 30 mins really), arguably an equally spectacular show to the north and north east, where I have a big view from a high perch. The murk cleared away from here, and we've just been watching the lightning forking and flashing constantly right from North around to East along the horizon, with occasional total light ups, where the whole sky lights up at the same time and you can see the shapes of the storm clouds and the intre-cloud forks and forks hitting the ground along the horizon.
Just amazing. Seems to me that some damage and harm must also have been done, however, sadly. Can't believe we can escape something like that without some casualties.
Just down the road from you. I can only agree with your comments.
We had an incredible spell of heavy marble (and larger) size hail that turned the whole landscape white. The result has been some significant leaf damage to trees, shrubs (and my runner beans!). I have never really seen anything quite as intensive as this ever before.
The lightning was intense and continuous and with my rain gauge showing over 30mm of precipitation this morning, most of which fell in about 30 to 40 minutes.

Woke up to a covering this morning, 1 cm max. Since then there has been constant snow, mainly very light, but with periods of higher intensity during the last couple of hours.
This has maintained the snow level on cars, roofs and grass with limited signs of any melt there. The roads and most of the pavement are pretty much clear.
Looks as if there is more to come if DPs remain favourable. Obviously the elevation here helps!

And light snow in Tunbridge Wells at the moment.
From the snow last night the grass in the garden is completely white. Pavements everywhere are still extremely icy. We probably had something like 4-5 cm before a temporary thaw set in.

Yes, snow in Tunbridge Wells. Not settling yet, but it won't be long.
