I suspect by the end of tomorrow there will be plenty of parts around the amber warning that will have similar amounts. You may well be on for 30cms, I'm sure someone will end up getting in that ballpark.

 

Fingers crossed!

We have between 16cm and 20cm in the Elham valley and it’s still snowing. Easily the biggest snow event here since March 2013.

Wow. Looks like is was right to be jaffa cakesed off last night when the MO change their forecast.

But no, those who were on here last night said I was being impatient, and to only trust the radar.

Well how's that f'ing going for you?

Got a pretty good covering here in east Kent! It’s early days yet. Plenty of time for snow across the region.

Temperatures and dew-points continuing to fall slowly across the region. Originally, most of us were expected to be at 0C around 2am, but that's been pushed to around 6am now.

00Z UKV and Met Office forecasts due before 3am, lets see if there are any changes 

 

It’s currently 0.6C in the Elham valley, so a fair bit colder than that map implies.

The snow is starting to pitch in places. Temperature should be below 0C in the next 45 minutes or so.

How strong is the wind as in howling or just blowing? Also is the snow of powder or transient (wet and heavy) thanks

It’s pretty gusty. My anemometer broke this morning so I can’t give you an exact speed.  Small powdery flakes that are swirling around in the wind.

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards]

Snowing heavily now and the temperature is dropping rapidly. About 0.1C every 5 minutes.

I can confirm it’s now snowing in the Elham valley. Temp is 1.2C.
