Baynesey (snow chaser)

finally snowing here in canterbury, and if we dont get a decent covering from that lot of this radar..... im moving..... to canada!!! lol My link

we have already had icicles here in canterbury for a few days... ill try get a few pics tomorrow!!

needs to kick another 50 miles east and none of us will miss out tonight!!! PLEASSSSSE lol

00000000 dear..... you 2 must have your own little climate round your houses, or i must not no what snow is...... i saw snow before xmas, which i was fishing in down at deal, and deal dover and folkstone had more then most places in east kent, and i have snow laying on the ground now here just outside canterbury. if you love snow enough to sit on a forum wishing it to come, you wont care about the amount you get, your just be out enjoying it which is what i plan to do today...... if we get more bonus.... if not we have some lovely!!! i love snow as much as any of the huge rampers on here but all this whinging is rather sad.... its snow get a grip!!! Rant over...

the showers off of the kent coast have really started to push sw now!!

well the showers off the east coast of essex have definatly started to move SW again!!! interesting times!!!

looks like getting interesting here in canterbury huge clouds starting to roll off the north sea!

what you thinking steve??? how can u go to sleep when steve the snowman murr posts something like that!!!

coming down nicely now, just a white blur past the window!! i reckon an hour at most of snow left to come here in canterbury!! unless the front stalls. think its time for bed!!

whilst im waiting for the next band to see what that delievers, and as teits and steve murr are about, just wondering what both of u think of the models at the mo, and any other events over the weekend and the lead up to xmas??

finally got a icing sugar covering in canterbury and its coming down hard but fine fine flakes.... and wind is very gusty, blowing it about, still lots of showers in the north sea to come, and hopeful the front will move SE soon so we get heavier bursts like other have got!!!

first real full snow shower just started in canterbury, none of the wintery mix rubbish!!! and the rain from eariler has frozen so its settling even though its very light, and convention is still building off the margate coast so maybe all not lost like i thought it was!!

looks like a bit of convection is build, off of margate, hopefully it will build for a few hours and give eastern kent something to smile about lol

looking at the lastest rader, it looks like the low has pushed sw and is just south on eastbourne which y the temps on the south coast have risen!!

i have very limited knowledge of the models....and really cant say if this is a downgrade or upgrade..... eariler on in the run the SE seems to hold on the the -5 long the the 18z but does look as good for the rest of the uk then later on thursday time.... the colder uppers seem to stay away in the north sea... but the cold on this run at t120 does seem to be heading more sw instead of south like it did on the 18z, so at least the colder air is near by the the longer term!!

well this is my first post this winter... but i have been watching the model thread for the last week, and i no the really cold stuff aint set in stone yet, but the colder stuff by the weekend pretty much is. which will be very welcome, like many we havent even had a forst yet!!! we really have come so far in such a small space of time 7 days ago talk of cold was really wishful thinking or so many of us thought, and even at the beginning of the weekend it was still a long shot. but im still a bit nervous about the stuff that anyones getting excited about, after a few disappointment esp last year when the easterly was within the reliable but suffered huge downgrades at the last mintue. but what i have noticed with this up and coming event, is the fact the models all came into line, quite early on and within a few runs of each other, when this kind of event has been seen in the models before, one model has normal stayed away for the real cold stuff, and we have all been wish for it to fall inline, and it normally would for 2-3 runs then jump ship again... for the rest then to follow..... i dunno if people like mr murr, teits, JH, etc..... have noticed this or im just talking rubbish..... and i dunno if anyone can answer this... but this must be a record for good consecative runs for cold lover??? we normally have a much more eventful rollcoster then this, we just keep going up and up..... im just hoping its not just building up for a big dip :smiliz19:

just started snowing here in canterbury, just in the breeze really, but id given up hours ago to be honest so nice surpise!!

i dont believe so, an image i saw eariler shows the low sitting around the channel isles, and the ppn was the the east, so if the low had pushed over us id have thought the ppn would have been pushed into the north sea. The low has been very slow moving and i believe its been sitting where it is for most of today, making slow movement eastwards, if anything ive been pressure rises in canterbury, since 2 this afternoon!!

really need to temps to drop more, its still 3.2 here in canterbury with a dew of 1.9, we got to the barmy high of 9.2 today!!!

same temps as exeter, so if they are having snow, id expect you to have snow, as long as the ppn actally reaches you!!

any reports on whats in falling as in east sussex??

just been on a drive, snow gone east of canterbury, mostly gone in canterbury, west of canterbury the snow is thicker, went to detling plenty up there and foggy, then down to ashford a little less the maidstone, but more then canterbury had!!

temp and dew point, are starting to drop alittle here now!!!

still just about snow here in canterbury, temps 1.2 dew point is -0.9

scrap what i said its defo snow again now, anyone, point me in the right direction of a decent place on the kent downs to visit??
