Thank you, not normally a snow magnet is Thanet so we're more than happy with our little lot, would be nice to have a complete snow event for the south east, maybe next time?
Agreed, Thanet is normally dreadful for snow. Being so close to the sea and the air mass over it, we never seem to get the really hot heat or the real cold that you get further inland.

Went up Nethercourt 2 days ago, by the time I got there it was like icy mud and snow, still alright, but I think early tomorrow could be quite good.

Lampost tells me there are huge wet flakes blowing through but sounds from the conservatory roof tell me there's still rain in the mix. Still I'm on the coast so much patience needed as ever
Same here, just had the torch out the window, just starting to turn to snow now, nothing laying yet obviously. I'm so close to the sea, so hardly ever get decent snow. Here's hoping or else the kids will slaughter me me when they get up.

Also what are people's dream expectations for good snow event? Not for this period, but for me in Ramsgate it would be a foot of Snow, I'd kill for that ☺

We are such a tiny island in the grand scheme of things where global weather is concerned. It' complicated enough to see if a cold spell from the east will hit the UK, if you read the model/strat thread and then once it' confirmed, everyone naturally heads to the regionals for a snow fix (like me). But the variations? Jesus, where to begin, convection, temperatures, wind speed, wind direction, low pressure systems moving in. It' way above my pay grade, I don't have a clue, but the bickering? Is it necessary, not really, it' all a bit hit and miss when it comes down to nailing the specifics.
So just enjoy it or don't bother posting, I saw someone calling people idiots on this thread earlier, wtf, grow up.
Snow, thunder storms, wind and heat, I love the weather extremes, unfortunately the UK is fairly moderate where all of those are concerned, but I like seeing other people's opinions and what the weather is like near me. So please refrain from petty crap and get along ?

Why on the radar v7 or extra app, whenever I click Europe, the resolution goes really blocky and pixelated?
-
Is it me or is precipitation forming right on the edge of our coastline, east Kent?

Bit of PPN starting to form in the channel?

Extremely light snow here in ramsgate, more of a token gesture than anything else.

Nice little bonus session of sledging

I don't know what's worse walking or driving. Just popped to the shop, pavements and parts of the road are clear ice, it's kind of like a clear resin has been poured everywhere and allowed to set. It's bloody cold too outside.
As a snow event in ramsgate/thanet it has been pretty poor, nothing like what I had hoped. I'm not complaining though, I've never seen anything like this freezing rain before in my life and I'm glad I have now, plus remarkable temperatures we've had at this time of year, it's been bone chilling.

That’s it I’ve had enough now this freezing rain is horrible and I need to get to my local shop. Just tried to go out and looked like bambi on ice!!! Oh and I’ve run out of beer???
I'm phoning the military now to get you to the shop, running out of beer is no joke, getting serious now !

National Grid warning of low gas supply now so you may not need to worry about your boilers ?
Only talking about industrial businesses cutting back now, but they have asked for more gas to be supplied. Hopefully it'l be fine.

Current radar, no idea which direction anything is moving anymore, I need to seriously do some studying from the basics and upwards.
I think that patch which is delivering snow across east Kent is moving North, so likely to lose the snow we have in Ramsgate? Unless it somehow stalls over us

I can’t see the snow being massively heavy today. Is there a downgrade generally?
I’ve not known short-term forecasts to be so sketchy and widely uncertain as they have been this week - not complaining but I have literally no idea what to expect in the next 24 hours
Echo that, I've given up trying to attempt to give an answer to my kids or family now. I just say "I have no idea, we might get some, we might not"
Ramsgate still snowing
