Morning all...exciting day to come, watching with interest to see how this plays out. It might be me but the system appears to be further east than predicted, remember the MO amber warning for the SW does now not appear to be in the firing line. The last hour watching the radar and agreeing with Yamkin post above, we continue to see the convergence of the North Sea energy being drawn into the system. Light dusting so far here in Kings Hill, near maidstone. Temp hovering around 0 but feeling much colder in the wind. Nothing falling from the sky presently.

Evening all...been a bit of a reader for ages now with the odd post but time to join the fun and games of the forum. I will also let you all know my job is not to dissimilar to our friend Yamkin...except our focus is the major routes of Kent and Sussex. I can therefore give you a very exciting update from our forecasts: Snow showers will start to fall from around 17hrs and continue overnight to give between 1-4cm. Into the morning there will be some more snow giving between 2-8cm of accumulations possible and in some places locally higher. (This forecast is for Kent, East Sussex and West Sussex only) Here's to a good couple of days...im off to bed as this massive upgrade means a very early start for me! Good luck to everyone

I can confirm light snowfall at Kings Hill, just outside maidstone. Very light dusting on cars so far, the start of more to come...???
