Raining in Sandwich.
-
Kids still at school. They don't cope so well in the heat and staff can't apply suncream.
-
Went for a walk this morning but had to turn back as it was so cold as I got near the sea and the wind picked up. Beautiful though, icy, bright and dry.

Lovely top up in Sandwich, going to head out for a walk before it gets trampled. Lightly snowing this morning too, noice!

Snowing moderately in Sandwich and we've had a dusty top up.

Looking good to clip east Kent!
Crossing fingers, I'm in Sandwich. BBC showing heavy snow all day tomorrow which is never going to happen. Just interested in what they are thinking, what are they basing that forecast on??

Just light snow in Sandwich now but it's been wonderful since the sun has gone down and the paths and roads have slowly turned white.

The only time I remember seeing deep accumulation of snow in Deal. The roads were filled, the hedges and fences were drifts. Being coastal and low-lying we rarely do well from any other kind of set up.
I remember when I parked my car next to the Royal in Deal and went on holiday. Next thing I knew Deal was on the news as a huge storm had hit, snow, high winds, the lot! The sea came over and trashed said car, it was phenomenal, wrecked The Royal forefront and they had to start the renovation again. Must have been in the nineties when I lived there. Happy days!
Right, so (lie to me if you have too) is it possible we may get some more snow in East Kent?

Snow rate picking up now. Looking good for next few hours in North/East Kent
Really hope so, missed out last time. Light snow in Sandwich but feels much colder than this morning, ground is drying up too which bodes well. Only had a dusting this morning but it still looked pretty.

Proper, real, actual snow now. 5/10 best it's been in Deal all week! Cold snap successful!
I am so happy for you, not often Deal gets so much as a flake! Take pictures, when it's gone it's gone. Hope it makes it's way to Sandwich too.

Radar burst into life as soon as the blob hit land, not sure why? Maybe the height? I'd say it's looking good for all of us this afternoon.
Fingers crossed. I would love to have one good crunchy snowy walk round my town, take a few pictures.
Small pellets here, am I right in thinking that's called graupel?

On the plus side I saw a goosander on the river.

The roads are crazy. They look wet but are covered in sheer ice, there should be more warnings out. This is more dangerous than snow.

It IS freezing rain!!!! Oh my goodness, it's like a rink where it's landed and garden furniture has a glass coating. Phenomenal, so glad I have seen this!

Can confirm just rain in Deal. Not the freezing kind either, just wet.
Yup, fine rain in Sandwich and the little snow I have is shrinking.
One day,that's all I wanted. One. Snowy. Day. Oh well, there is always next year.

Hoping to squeeze an inch or two today, both local schools have already made the decision not to open until Monday.
Have a nice day everyone, and if it snows, make the most of it!
Temp: -1.3c (Down from +0.7 just over an hour ago)
DP: -4.4c
Schools here have done the same, so we have a snow day even if no snow, so yippee to that!

Will be amazed if it snow here later.
according to the ever unreliable weather app that you should never rely on for anything other than a laugh, the chances are the highest it’s been all week for snow, but the temp is forecast to be just 0
Same here, met is giving us heavy snow. It's going to rain isn't it!

K, last chance today, I would just love to see a covering, I'm still in the green bit of Kent. Who knows eh, there is still hope and if it doesn't snow this is still a fantastic cold snap. Due in London tomorrow, will wake up and see how the trains look in the morning.
