Medway and most of Kent is a rain fest. I never knew I was the jealous type, but all that pink on the radar is bringing me to tears. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Sitting in Wladerslade, Chatham right now waiting for a pupil to start their driving lesson. A mix of 90% rain and 10%snow is building in intensity. What snow is here is melting before my eyes. Such a shame.

What do people think about showers being blown in from a northerly direction tonight

worth watching 

or pants

There will be. All rain though. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

A couple of MM last night here in medway. All but melted already. Last night was full of promise again. But was a let down for us again.

 

Light snownhas just started falling, but will be a short flurry according to the radar. 

 

Heres hoping we we get another shot at the good stuff before the end of the season.

Medway snow shield solid currently.

It looks like all northward progression has come to a grinding halt.

I honestly think we are still an hour or two away from the heavier precipitation which is over the channel. People need to chill and let nature do its thing!

You make that sound so easy. I’m refreshing the radar Avery few moments, begging the front to move north

Yeah, why>?

I’m only getting snippets here and there, but what I’ve pieced together suggests the main band of snow will not make it far enough north or east to reach north Kent. 

I hope I’m wrong. Please tell me I have got the wrong end of the stick. 

 

And what about BBC graphics earlier showing heavy rain bands moving over Kent all tomorrow?

I'm not sure why there is a sudden panic on here about that METO forecast... It still looks good... The potential for streamers is massive.

Ya think Medway is still game? I’m losing faith rapidly today

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already, but the BBC forecast just now showed heavy rain moving over much of Kent tomorrow during the day. 

Doesnt give much hope for any snow that does settle tonight. 

This winter has been full of promise but has not been delivering the goods

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Can anybody give me the latest thoughts for north Kent for tomorrow nights event? Last night was a disappointment, so I’m hoping for a little more luck this time around. Thanks gang.

It has inside too. 45% inside. 

1°C here and RH of 68%. I think there’s something wrong with your one.

Enthusiastic lurker and reader, very rare poster. 

I was last being nosey here a couple of days ago, when talks of 6-8” of snow widespread across the SE was being touted in the ‘reliable’.

Today’s post seem to suggest these expectations have been somewhat downgraded to a couple of cms if lucky? Is that th gist of things?

 

Realistically, what is in the cards for us tomorrow night? And how does it compare with the current ideas of Thursday’s snow forecast?

 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

What a total let down. Smack bang in the middle of the amber warning, had my hopes high, and barely a dusting. I don’t think we even got 1cm of depth. It’s vanishing in front of my eyes this morning. 

Come on spring, let’s have some weather we can actually enjoy.

Will probably need to expand the Amber warning northwards based on what is happening.

Expand is fine. But don’t move it!

I think I could do well out of this, but the original Amber warning is well off the mark ?

How so? Where should it be instead?

Guys i have to go to Gillingham tonight will i get home.  What time is the heavy ppn meant to arrive?

Looks like it could build through the late afternoon and evening. Stick to main roads, they’ve been gritted today and the traffic should keep them clear. Where are you going, Priestfeilds staidium?

I'm kinda hoping it waits till like 4.15 just so people can moan about it being late!

What if comes a bit early and we get a premature snowjaculation?

But there’s nothing on the radar. It’s all over

Once again, for those at the back. The main snow risk isn't until 4pm onwards.

4pm onwards.

4pm onwards.

4pm onwards.

4pm onwards.

The coldest air isn't over us yet, once it reaches our shores and winds back ENE (from 4pm onwards) then showers/streamers will kick into action. Hope that clears things up a little.

That’s what the met office warnings suggests, it all happening later this afternoon. Watching the band of snow to the north fizzle out over the last couple of hours, and not seeing much more in the North Sea has me wondering where this snow will come from? All precipitation to our north and east seem to be evaporating. I really hope I’m missing something here. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

We actually have a lot to do this weekend, so wish this was better timed. Never mind. Snow is snow, and it’s always special. 

The snow warnings form the beast a couple of weeks ago were only yellow by memory. There’s amber now. Should this be read much into. Is there more expected this time round? 

 

CORRECTION, looking back at my screen shots, there was an amber boomerang last time. Ignore me. Nothing to see here

Still can't get over how bad this new BBC map is. There is more of mainland Europe on the screen than the UK!

I quite look seeing our little island in context with the weather systems around us and coming in

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 03/03/2018 onwards]

Wait what? I haven’t looked on here since the end of the last cold spell thinking we were done for the season. Then I look in out of curiosity and I see people are talking about snow risks?!

what on Earth have I missed? What’s happening? The mod thread is full of bickering school children.
