Here in Herne there's slush building up on the cars. -
Rain has turned to sleet just inland from Herne Bay. Nowt to shout about compared to others on here but it's something I guess!
-
Same here. Perhaps we'll wake up to a surprise covering.
-
The showers in the channel seem to have some intensity still so perhaps still a chance for those of us in the east!
-
Yep, we always seem to need a north easterly to get lucky here and for Thanet
-
There must be half a dozen of us from the bay on here and we're all going to be disappointed by the looks of this.
-
Spot on I'm afraid. East Kent and Essex were forecast to miss out on the good stuff
-
Unless the wind is from the East/North East us East Kent folk are often not invited to the party. Wasn't like that back in the 80s
-
Bordering on snow here at times due to intensity. My worry here in East Kent is that once the system has pivoted tonight and moves back south east dragging down temps and DP there won't be much precipitation around by then. Anyone know whether wind direction changes to north east tomorrow/Tuesday?
-
Yes, going by previous years snowfall, Tyler Hill often has snow but the city and where I am towards Herne Bay is more sleety hence my IMBY post. Moderate sleet has just reached here
-
Out of interest is there any elevation where you are (outskirts of C'bury) or are you central?
-
Greetings from a foggy Herne. After last year's complete no-show anything has to be an improvement. WRT later today and overnight even if it does stay wet around the coasts rather than white, at least this cold spell is bringing down SSTs which can only be a good thing.
-
With fewer sunny spells and lower dew points today, snowmelt has been less than yesterday with around 6-7cms remaining on most areas. Shame it won't be around next week when the children are off school. Fingers crossed for another bout of wintry weather for later this month.
-
The one part of the garden unspoilt by the kids and the wind indicates we have a depth of 15cm in total. A tad more than the 2018 BFTE. 8.5/10
-
On our 4th or 5th heavy shower since 4pm now. Added a good 5-6cm i reckon. Hope showers keep going for those further west. Couple of pics from a peaceful walk earlier
-
I'd have used whiteout for your video. Jealousy that's all it is
-
Pretty intense! 20210210_181528.mp4
-
I'm at the hospital. Still light here. Send it this way!
-
Text from wife (I'm in Canterbury) saying that it is pepping up at home in Herne Bay. I've been using the 'p' word a lot this week so bit of a mickey take from a non-weather enthusiast. They just don't get it, do they!
-
Just got off a zoom call with colleague who lives in Faversham. Very heavy in the last 30mins.
-
4 days - I just said the exact thing to the wife when we woke up. Good for Thanet especially
-
Yes I remember seeing the cloud banks preceding the 86 and 91 snowfalls certain that the snow was headed our way.
-
Agreed. Whilst some in our region have reported heavy snow showers and some of these especially in East Anglia may well be correct, I can't recall much in the yellow and orange intensity category on the NW radar indicating this to be the case. In the 80s heavy snow was when you could look up into the sky and see it full of large snowflakes for a long period of time. We have 10cms here and I've not witnessed that once.
-
Yes someone commented on that earlier which I replied to. Suspected anaprop (worth a Google if interested)
-
Even better in the knowledge that it will be sticking around for the rest of the week
