blizzard here, worse than sunday.

well the met office is sticking to its guns, sounds like milder weather only making it as far as the SW, should stay cold in east.

my wife has just driven on the A2 from Canterbury to Dover, at Barham she turned off by accident as she couldn't see the road, total white out. Yet 3 miles away from there and i have a snow shield over Eastry. Nothing yet, although i feel it's incoming.

must admit the ramping made me get the sledge out for the kids. I've popped it away again now. Been an enjoyable spell of weather all the same though.

Wow what is up with this negativity in here and more importantly how can there be people who say we have't got the snow that was forecast? Nothing until yesterday afternoon was ever forecast for today. And what we have had so far is exactly what the MetO put in their updated forecast and warning yesterday.
Are people not reading what the latest forecast says for tonight? What else can you ask for other than "prolonged, heave snow with significant accumulations" while it is -4 degrees or less outside?
I give up.
As for the weekend and beyond. I'm looking forward to potentially heavy snow on Thu night/Friday morning with a chance of freezing rain which is extremely rare in the UK. After that it's time for spring.
well for me it's having a snow drought for past 5 years, then about 50 miles away heavy snow, yet nothing for us, and the kids are off school today as it's teacher training day.

i've got a feeling that east and south sections of Kent coast will only get a dusting at best, the wind needs to be a little more north which ain't going to happen. might have to pack up the sledge again.

snow shield still up here

weather radar looks like the activity is shifting a little to bring the whole of kent in to the play area.

snow shield up in Sandwich
-
Well i’ve Just been out in the cold all night, that east wind is making it feel bitterly cold already.
-
Well i’m Going with the current met office update at 23:00 for snow on Friday and highs of 2c in sandwich.

i usually don't write in this thread, i usually just enjoy reading the posts here as i'm no expert. But, does this not all hinge on how quickly the cold air passes by the UK, and how quickly it engages the low pressure, and if it interacts with it??? to my untrained eye, the more the low interacts the more likely it is to travel north as it winds itself up. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

just noticed that Dover, Deal and folkestone are the only east coast towns NOT in the met office warning area for snow. wonder if it will play out like that.

big hail storm its gone very dark!!
LOL, just had the first white covering of the winter, and it was from a hail storm.
-
well you haven't missed much so far guys. It's been wintery mix, of rain, sleet and snow which has not laid. Think (at the moment anyway) your need to be a little away from the coast, and 100m ish above sea level for snow.
-
well the extended outlook on the met office, mentions below average temps and possibility of an easterly developing later in the month. From what i've seen it fits with some of the output.
-
sounds quite bad for you guys, just trying to get a feel of how it's going to be for my night shift working outside in Dover docks.
-
Dover docks is still very windy and closed, looks like people travelling on the Spirit of Briton cross channel ferry have now been in the channel for around 14 hours in force 10-12 winds. OUCH!!!

Outbreaks of verbal diarrhoea currently affecting parts of the thread are forecast to rapidly intensify during the forecasting period. Normal members are advised to take great care and the necessary precautions such as reporting all instances of verbal diarrhoea and not be sucked in by it.
hint hint!
Sorry, but LOLd lots at this true statement.
On topic, Sometimes the channel has a funneling effect, making wind stronger, anyone like to explain to me why this happens? and is that what is happening this time?

we just had a light snow shower in Dover Docks
