[London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion]

Im surprised Kent posters aren't here for what appears to be convective snow showers appearing across the county

lurking! looks good tho, light hail shower here about half hour ago

[London And Southeast Cold Spell Discussion]

Now thats interesting. Im not sure if you are on about the same bit but look at this sat here http://www.meteox.nl/h.aspx?r=&jaar=-3&soort=satradar

And see the lighter (whiter) cloud in the north East of the sea, North East running S.W. Was that the bit you were on about? Looks interesting...

Edit: Actually looks like it is more likely to hit central southern areas, that must be the feature they have been mentioning as possible light snow overnight in central areas.

i love that radar.... there's loads more on the way

[London And Southeast - Cold Spell Discussion]

thanks! ....i try

[London And Southeast - Cold Spell Discussion]

Overlooking the channel here in Folkestone, think some further showers are incoming

i love it when you talk dirty!

lol sorry couldn't resist! bring me snow!!!

[London And Southeast - Cold Spell Discussion]

That is very weird, I didn't know that...although the people who live there are very weird as well and get very irate when you pronounce it wrong

Anyhoo, back to the weather I'm going to assume the worst and then everything is a bonus...

true!

[London And Southeast - Cold Spell Discussion]

Do be aware that it isn't spelt like that, its actually spelt Trottiscliffe!

No, I've never understood it either

lol! yeah i know the village at the bottom of the hill is called trottiscliffe but the park itself is trosley...v strange!

[London And Southeast - Cold Spell Discussion]

Just about as local as you can get, this 'event'. Do hope that those progged areas for later actually get something half decent. Anyone know where Trossley Country Park is? Dartford way? What's the forecast there from this evening thru sat, anyone know, haven't time to look?

yeah used to live next to it, come off at wrotham hill m20 take the road a227 i think towards gravesend, turn into vigo village about 5 mins drive from motorway exit. enter thru there

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Does anyone know any good sledging places around tunbridge wells?thanks

knole park maybe

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Thanks very much!!!

you're welcome!

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi Everyone

Hope you don't mind me asking, but can anyone recommend a place to take the kids today in kent for sledging? Want to try and make the most of it!! Was thinking of heading for Maidstone!!? Thankyou in advance!!

Fiona

don't go as far as that...try trosley country park it's at the top of wrotham hill (entrance via vigo village on the road from wrotham to gravesend before meopham) and you can sledge from top to bottom of the downs spent my 80's snow days there.

m20 turn off

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Great post A temperature of 1c doesn't mean no snow as many seem to be worried about - it snowed here yesterday from first light until around midnight and is still going in snow grain bursts now! Even if we don't have much else from this particular spell we just need to remember it's only the first half of January with the traditionally snowy February still to come

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

meteogroups Europe radar shows snow deteriorating rather than growing whilst crossing the north sea http://www.meteogroup.co.uk/uk/home/weather/radar/europe.html

Why is that? it just seems to 'vanish'

unless it's what's behind it heading towards brussels at the moment which is what we need to keep our eyes on? if it keeps it's current path and keeps growing we will be hit

i just have a good feeling about today... all to play 4

agreed! here is the detailed radar of germany and holland coast i think loads of potential here... also rain/sleet on radar at 7.45 in se was quite a large area as the last hour has progressed it has shrunk ans we have very fine but moderate to heavy snow falling as of 5 mins ago

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

well i am feeling optimistic today, don't know why, we shall see what today brings!

[London & Se Cold Spell Discussion]

Here in Dover there doesn't seem to be a drip drip event happening at the moment. the gutter isn't dripping from the snow on the roof, it was for a little while in the afternoon though. unsure on the temperature here though.

and it is snowing and has been all day from heavy to light v persistant

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

is the wind due to come round easterly tonight?

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

hahaha im loving the hate kent mood!

i know we'll be confined to our very own thread soon if we don't stop braging about our snow totals sorry, not much here anyway most of it came today

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

I also have a mad labrador!!

Let's hope we get some more tonight and tomorrow, on the News 24 forecast a few moments ago Monday looked pretty good too!

don't you just love their boundless energy lol

this snow event has been great so far! bound to be more enjoying it while it lasts!

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

You're absolutely right, it is exactly like a rollercoaster....... and I HATE rollercoasters!!

Never mind, I took my 6 year old son out for a walk this afternoon in the heaviest snow he's ever seen and his face was an absolute picture, so if I don't get any more I'll still be happy! (Although of course I'm secretly hoping for lots more tonigt)

Me 2!! we took our two boys 6 and 4 and our mad labrador out sledging (not the dog she just sort of ate snow and tried to knock everyone over) lol

Great fun and kids now snow hooked too so all good, snow man tomorrow!!

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

I wasn't trying to sorry lol just that some people are too quick to say it's over when if they look they can see it clearly is not. Welcome lurker no offence meant.

no worries none taken, got the impression that some of the posters weren't aware of the "blob" and thought it was all over! like a roller coaster in here most of the time!

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

I have and i do animate it and i have snow falling from the sky and i know there is more out in the channel and i know that i am in line for it just posing the question because there seems to be a bit of doom and gloom going on.

Been watching radar for few years now. I subscribe to full netweather package and can say it is very good gives me loads of info on the weather well worth the price.

i know subscribe too and watched the threads for about 6 years now just tend to lurk, was just getting behind u on the doom and gloom front but thanks 4 putting me in my place

[London & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

A quick question why are there it's all over for us post aren't we due some more snow overnight in our region?

Blob watch (animate it) ETA??? place your bets
