Strange thing is the weather only had the front that's gone through here on their radar, it done exactly the route they said. That bigger one wasn't on there at all. How come they didn't know there was two lot's?

Why met say sleet or snow then say just sleet clearing later ,so confusing ,if you read se forecast on website
Well it's snowing now, but I think it will turn to sleet soon. The snow is very wet, and onlt settling on the icy bits.

ok, lol, there was never heating in the toilet block, it was an old rickety wooden structure and the wind came in the gaps where the wood slats had slipped, there was often ice in the bowl in winter. We also had scratchy loo paper which didn't wipe anything, it was like tracing paper.
Someone is going to say that when they were young, they lived in a cardboard box in the middle lane of the m1.
I had that tracing paper stuff to, yuk.
I don't want the main band to get here, it will all be rain by then.

You youngsters! I remember having to keep coat and gloves on in the classroom because there was no heat, mid-70s.
It was the toilet block, so there were no loos. Notice the trouble my self the day before, I don't think they had a choice.
Edit moderate snow now, falling on ice, so should get a dusting, and start slipping everywhere.

Ok the light snow has started, won't amount to much yet, waiting to see if the heavier stuff over ramsgate gets here.
-
Just seen a solitary big flake fall, nothing else yet.

That's daft. We all used to arrive at school forty-five minutes early, just so we could make super slides on the playground!
It's all health and safety now though. Like I've said before, the only time I missed school through cold, rather than snow, was in school the day before. Was cause the pipes froze in 87.

Good morning Britain main headlines:
"Snow brings Winter hell across the country"
"Winter chaos"
It really is a cringeworthy as you can get... Even my partner who is Português has just said "what's the big deal" "it's a Tiny weeney bit of snow"
Enough to close the secondary school my two older kids go to. It's closed because of ice not snow though. They've deemed it to dangerous to walk up the path to the school for the kids. Same with the school next door. It is about 200m of very steep hill though, and I was expecting this.

Don't think I've ever seen it snow so slowly, one flake every 3 seconds. No sign of any settling at all here.
I've seen that, looks lovely, I think anyway. But no use for landing.

I hope it doesn't turn to sleet just as it starts settling here I was really hoping just for a white dusting..
Forecast on ITV was sleet for here, and now someone has posted the same from the BBC. At the min the ice isn't melting to spite sun. So may be warm sector.

If it falls as snow here, it will be falling on ice..

Its going to be felt all the way from Lincolnshire southwards as far down the North Sea coast as Esses. Timings vary according to high tide but mid morning will be bad in Norfolk, then lunchtime in suffolk and afternoon Essex, then it will all happen again when the second high tide comes through later in the day.
If it's the same as the last one, it went round the south kent coast too.

Well good while it lasted now, more rain than sleet and the snow is slowly disappearing.

Snow starting to ease now, and I must say I'm surprised that it's dripping, I thought it would hang around overnight
When the sky clears it's supposed to freeze.

Dew point now above freezing here - the dripping has started
I'm just wondering why this is happening.

The wind has just got up here now. I would say it's the closest to a blizard I've ever seen, although I know it's not one.

Snow is heavy but very small grains, quite surprised thought it was more marginal than this from reports.

LIghts flashing here in Rochester. Power cut to come?
Happened here about 5 mins ago to.

Just wondering why the back end is sleet rain, I know it's the heaviness helping with the fast transition once things are right, but surely it should be cold enough once the cold has undercut to keep it as snow on the back end. Is it that the northerly isn't as cold as it was thought to be.

Did they evacuate them last time? I'm not really liking how this surge sounds. I hope it won't be as bad as they think.
