I'm gobsmacked because where we are is only a few miles north of you and we had a snow fest for a while after about 6 am today. The rara showed it should have hit you as well. 

You’re not far south of me either but we had a bit of dandruff and that’s it.

Not exactly true. HIRLAM shows very light snow over the area which is correct. It has been snowing here lightly since 6am.

However, we are referring to the almost perfect match between radar and model regarding the big areas of precip over France.

HIRLAM then shows snow later this afternoon/evening moving into our area, which I assume are the showers building SE of the main precip area and which are moving NE, right at us.

Hasn’t been here, Crawley, Gatwick or Worthing though and they’re shaded

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

yes but that Hirlam refers to 11.00 which was 10 here.  Nothing happening.

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

That’s the second secondary school in Crawley closing at lunchtime.  I wouldn’t mind but nothing is happening here and it’s not due to either ?

well that shower we just had (which was pretty intense) originated in the thames estuary and there's more on the way.

Definitely something to get excited about!  I’m pretty central in town, are you?

There looks to be more showers heading in towards the Thames Estuary, may get a sprinkling of snow that should freeze onto surfaces after sunset.

Everything crossed it heads our way

For reference there are 4 more days of this and people are writing it off today? 

Ok then.

Convections going’s to pick up again tonight almost certainly. This time it’s dropping on lying snow and ice.

By the look of the radar that’s it for us today, are we likely to get the convection here or is it more of a Kent thing?

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Lovely downpour just then but all quiet on the radar....

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

I’m still a complete newbie to this but it’s -2 with a dew point of -3 and the snow still isn’t settling even when there’s cloud cover.  Any idea why?

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]
