Still heavy rain here near Maidstone,  the ground is so waterlogged.... if it turns to snow I find it hard to imagine it will be able to settle....

Hopefully surface will freeze quickly when temps drop.

Met Office hourly forecast for us has been upgraded. In Maidstone we've got double snow symbols almost unbroken 4am today until Monday lunchtime. Then lots of snow showers through the week. Exciting times :)

If this turns out good, then I think it will be a first in my 40 odd years lifetime in south east. Hours of steady rain turning to drifting snow? I've never known that 

Were you in Maidstone in Feb-Mar 2018? Here in Allington it was incredible. 30cm in drifts!

From Dutch weather service website, translated into English.

Looks like similar snow predictions to East Anglia / South East coastal areas. Very very strong winds. Not sure what their threshold is for a 'red' alert - it might be they have a couple of these every year.

It snowed most days in Guildford during the BFTE. Blowing snow with wind chills down to -15°C. 

Found this explicit amber warning in my camera roll 

I signed up to the Netweather forum especially to reply to this. Here's a screenshot I saved from Met Office site on 16th Feb 2020. Work experience kids? !
