Enjoy Sheppey and Sittingbourne lot. Light snow here, North Sea possibly firing towards me. Think heavier stuff won't be here for a few hours if it happens.

Radar does seem to have lots of holes in. Frustrating! Are they holes or radar issues?

Our turn later hopefully!

I don't want showers yet really...rather wait till 3/4 when sun is beginning to go down! Fingers crossed for another covering tonight!

Come on twig! We’re all cheering you on

IF it comes off, we seem to be in a good position early/late afternoon onwards for another covering. Maybe more. 2-5cm at most prob! But these set ups are completely unpredictable 

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

Does seem to be the most up to date one! Fingers and toes crossed!

That would be quite the pasting. No solar radiation, all showers, caked.

Quite happy to have had some showers already considering we weren't expecting them till this afternoon! Let's see what happens later!

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 ?

.

No idea! Not sure if the right fax but it is midnight tomorrow and the twig is still there. Also met have put a warning for Snow tomorrow for us till 11am. 

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

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?

Have you got falling snow now ?

This looks the way it’s heading? Might just clip you in Ramsgate

Not now no. Radar suggests Thanet should get some shortly? Then will move towards me. Lots of beefy looking showers just off the coast

There's a big batch of heavy snow incoming, I'd say make the most of it!

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

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

Just as I say North Sea looks good, radar now suggesting it’s fragmenting

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

Radar has a fair incoming for me. Fingers crossed! Yellow echos too! 

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

Amazing clouds here. Sun out and is snowing, can see them building! Think this COULD be the best day so far of this cold spell. North Sea looks like it’s brewing a lot up heading this way 

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

Trying to get heavier in canterbury! Radar does look good towards Thanet

Absolutely tipping it down here now. Temperature has dropped well below freezing.

Yes looking at the radar if the intensity over the Sea can keep up over Land with the Showers Kent and East Sussex are going to have quite the day of it whilst the rest of us look on in awe

WhT do you think canterbury could get? 2cm? Radar looking good.

Have just had a little peruse of some charts more importantly the ones which could create cz (convergence zone) showers and must admit not seeing much really until tomorrow morning for the Thames Estuary around 9am and then this convergence zone heads south and changes shape a little bit affecting a more NNE-SSW Zone through Kent and Sussex.

There looks to be small showers throughout tonight but these will struggle to amount to much, there might be the odd one that might surprise us though so not ruling anything out.

High Pressure settles in on Thursday so Wednesday night into Thursday morning could see -8c to -12c temperatures across any snowfields, then a really cold South East wind takes us into the weekend. Hopefully drying things out, should be some amazingly low dewpoints by then as well, probably see some -12c to -15c dewpoints but little sign of Snow for Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the SE at this stage.

Hi Paul, thanks for the fab posts, do you see canterbury in the line for the streamer should it materialise? Thanks !

It does yeah. I'd rather it earlier but can't pick and choose!

Guess if it comes 3-4, darker sooner and will lay? If it even happens!!

Convergence zone slightly further W

Isn’t that the 12pm one? Isn’t meant to sink south till 3-4 I believe when winds turn NE? Shoot me if wrong tho. 

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

When do the updated fax charts come out?

Finally seen the sun.

Have here too! Looks very ominous in Canterbury - whats your thoughts for tomorrow?

Looks good for Kent - would these showers have some more clout in them? Or be like we have had already? Or just down to pot luck?
