1 minute ago, Maidstone marginal said:
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’s not that good in Ashford, very little wind and the snow isn’t very heavy though it has laid on everything except concrete.
-
Absolutely no wind here in Ashford, not even a slight breeze. Snow falling at a steady pace and laying on all surfaces apart from the road.

Snowing lightly here in Maidstone, with more and more heavier bursts,bitterly cold, and very gusty winds
Hello trouble, didn’t expect to see you on here. Deliveries cancelled tomorrow?
-
Expected to see a winter wonderland when I opened the curtains this morning. Nope, just a bit of sleety rain. Glad I didn’t stay up lamp post watching, though tbh that wasn’t going to happen with the amount of I downed last night

Received an automated phone call from Floodline at 6am. So decided to get up and light the stove. Went out to the porch to get some coal to discover the floor was wet. Got water running down the wall. Hoping I’ve not lost any slates, can’t check yet as it’s still dark, heavy rain and the wind is howling.

Nope.. nothing all day here. A chance that there's some rain on it's way from France.... no thunder to speak of in it though.
Can’t put up with heat much longer. I’ve the air con running in the bedroom with the door shut so at least I’ll be able to get some sleep tonight but the rest of the house is like a sauna.

Got soaked earlier at work in Maidstone. Not long got home to Ashford and looks like not a single drop has fallen here.
-
Had the air con on all night yet again, the heat is getting unbearable. Woke up and noticed it had rained at some point. If the area info on my fan is correct the humidity here must be some sort of new record for Ashford.

3 fan's on full blast, windows open, absolutely roasting last night, my mood not helped with scotland getting blitzed by storms, and a force field in the channel working overtime, I want this heat to end quickly, hopefully with a bang.
Same here. The air con has been running all night, fans going trying to circulate the air. I’m going to end up with a massive electric bill but at this point I don’t care as it’s the only way I’ve been getting any sleep otherwise I would be in a really bad mood

I woke up about half hour ago thinking I had left the air con running due to the noise, it was the rain lashing down. Looked out the window and thought it’s going to go bang any minute. Well it certainly has here in ashford.
-
Its gone really quiet here. I've spent most of the morning looking at the massive Eucalyptus tree in my garden hoping it stays upright. Glad the gusts have calmed down. Just got to keep an eye on the rain now as we've been on Flood Alert since yesterday.
-
The wind is howling here. It seems a lot worse than Storm Ciara last weekend. The rain seems to be getting heavier and we are still on Flood Alert.

Wind is starting to noticeably Gust here now, probably around 45/50 mph. Not that bad at all yet. But the rain is here properly now.
Gusting quite a bit here in Ashford. Just received an automated phonecall off EA to say we are on Flood Alert (3rd time this week!).

The wind had calmed down here for a while, its now back with some quite severe gusts. I've a massive Eucalyptus tree in the garden and I was certainly worried there for a moment. Still raining but no thunder for a while now.
-
Just driven down the M20 from Maidstone to Ashford, saw some impressive lightning strikes. Raining here at the moment but I think its going to go boom big time any second now
-
Raining again and more rumbles this morning in Ashford.
I was so tired last night that I decided to go to bed rather than watch the storm. I soon got woken up but didn't go and look out the window as tbh I was scared. As I lay awake I heard the lightning conduct with something and the noise after was deafening. The massive Eucalyptus tree in my garden is still intact so no idea what it hit(secretly hoped it was my neighbours but unfortunately not).

Poop.
I'm just up the road from you and its snowing lightly here

Had a small 5minute shower in Maidstone while I was out delivering. As I walked up the road I could feel the steam coming off the tarmac. Have to say it was lovely feeling the rain.

And it's stopped!
Same here, very few drops and stopped within minutes. Just heard a rumble as I type this so something on it's way hopefully.
-
Hoping we get something in Kent. I left work in Maidstone at 5 and there was a noticeable breeze and dark clouds. Arrived back in Ashford to no cloud and 32c, though he has clouded over a bit now.
-
Loads of sheet lightning to my SW, guessing somewhere over Tonbridge. No thunder heard yet.
-
Expected to wake up to at least a covering of snow. Got nothing here in Ashford but I'm not surprised. I had my share of snow yesterday morning at work in Maidstone.
Hopefully now its all over the children on here last night b****ing at each other will finally grow up.

A few flakes blowing around in the wind in here in Ashford, nothing substantial and I think this whole episode really isn't going to amount to much(not for this location).

The road is closed or there is no traffic. My road is still very wet and full of puddles. Wind picking up a bit now.
