Nice to see some frost this morning - Temperatures currently at 5C

[Climate Centennial Report: February 1919 - ''Easterly Type of Weather Predominant'']

February 1919 was very cold and frosty with variable amounts of precipitation of rain and snow with persistent winds. 

The highest temperature recorded was 12C with lows well below freezing, a common theme throughout the month everywhere. 

On the 1st February 1919, London and many places in the SE were below freezing with a continental low moving in whilst the North was slightly milder with high pressure. Even Reykjavik, Iceland had a higher recorded temperature than many areas of southern England.

January 2019 has been the driest since January 2006 in Thanet.

Who would win?......An Aggressive Atlantic Low full of snow, sleet, rain and death or Thanet's stubborn microclimate?

nobody along the south coastal areas of kent to report on all that incoming on the radar?

I'm wondering too? Somebody in Hythe earlier said it just started to lightly snow so I think the Radar is somewhat off. Here in Thanet... nothing.

Broken skies above Ramsgate now... boring - fairly chilly and still dry.

I do, but as quite a few have said that they are under the pink but no snow so the radar is no guarantee

According to that radar we're supposed to having a slight snow shower but nothing. The radar has changed though to pink in the channel which is odd and the green has moved further east. Regardless how accurate that radar is - If that pink pivots North and smacks into us....could be an interesting night.

Time for this?

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Becoming really dark now in Thanet after a glorious Sunny morning. Something's brewing in the skies overhead now...

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Grey clouds developing over Thanet now, temperatures slowly decreasing.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Still no precipitation here in Thanet - Met Office and BBC said we'd be flooded by now.

Definite drop in temps in Gillingham. 

Sky looking very ominous around us. 

You going to the game tonight? I'm coming from Thanet on the train and hoping for sleet - It can snow after midnight please when I'll be home and snowed in. Not OUT. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Dry as a bone still in Thanet - Variable sky which I'm sure will change in a few hours to light rain, then who knows? 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Ramsgate has light snow from 0200-0600 according to BBC, before that sleet.

Let's hope something develops...because there hasn't been an exciting day in Thanet since the Blitz.

Dropped to minus 2.8c in Manston.

Currently 0.0c 

Yeah it's probably because I'm using the Broadstairs station (Working there) which is on the coast, with a slight sea influence. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

A slight frost in Thanet last night boosted by limited cloud cover. Temperatures stayed around freezing point. 

Current Temps at 09:10 = 3C 

Real Feel = -1.2C

[Wednesday 23rd January weather observations]

Woke up to a moderate covering of snow, starting to thaw now. Currently a wintry mix of sleet and snow with heavy cloud. 

Temp at 10:25 = 1.8C 

Real Feel = -5.1C

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Starting to snow a little bit now - Not heavy stuff and won't settle, temperatures are just above freezing and the ground is wet. 

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Some good accumulations in Thanet...Has settled on the grass and rooftops BUT now has started to rain.

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Netweather/Met radar currently has Ramsgate under rain/snow but nothing is happening - chilly but dry. May change in the next hour...

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Hoping for the current blob in the English channel to shift directly north or is Thanet's micro climate going to kill that as well?

[SE and East Anglia general weather discussion 07/11/2018]

Still dry as a bone here

i know this sounds selfish, but I am glad that I am not the only one feeling the pain lets hope overnight thing change for the good

Have you seen the met office radar? Apparently the heaven's will open directly over us releasing all kinds of precipitation and then it swings back for a double hit.
