Yea it was good for a while. Shows that the east Kent clipper may send a few dregs further west before it fizzles. -
East of town like grove green and bearsted got a really good extra covering today.
-
Lovely view of the east Kent clipper from looks like Barming
-
Maybe, but it turned from whole afternoon and night (and a fair chunk of the morning) of steady rain to settling snow. So I don't care about the amber warning anymore.
-
Yes even at near sea level in my patch. Its looking good
-
Come on mate the snow is settling even in Maidstone. And that's quite rare even by 1990s standards
-
No Broadstairs. End of. I dont live there but it nearly always misses out even when rest of Kent get a covering
-
It was always going to be Hawkinge. Is it settling in ramsgate now? It has started settling here after like 16 hours plus of rain
-
It's settling in Maidstone Town centre now. Must be a proper white out up there
-
Ha its more meaningful now.
-
Damn I was hoping up there would be pasted.
-
Someone may correct me but actually but where you are is probably a really good place with a North East wind. No chance of the channel warming things up when the wind comes off the land. I guess that's why Hythe (Kent) used to do well In a snowy north easterly.
-
It's still quite marginal. The snow is only settling on the higher ground (mainly, apart from where it's hoofing down in east Kent to settle in places like Canterbury at 20 metres altitude
-
The way things are going, places like Ashford, Canterbury and folkestone Will be in the deep snow zone. It's even snowing in lowlying Maidstone
-
It rained the entire night in my location. There's no settling snow now, that's progress . The high ground of east kent will be buried already
-
Even town level here has proper snow now. Not settling obviously
-
So I take it that the Kent peeps are all getting pure snow now?
-
Yes but I grew up in Hythe, which is the most lovely town in Kent end of. And it used to snow there
-
Yep it's a shame that it wasn't mangled in 1940. I'm not originally from here. I'm an east Kent man of old
-
Yeah I know. Sorry. This town is far worse by 100 miles.
-
Hope so. It's a dump anyway
-
It dropped to town level. I bet the downs 2 miles away are pasted. The hills of Hastings will be same I think
-
Ok There's a bit of snow going on here now. Wet though
-
At the moment it's a high ground event hopefully it will drop to town and coast level soon
-
The BBC are using really old data they are sometimes up to 24hours behind the times
