Watching it build to my NW from here in Folkestone. Massive towers going straight up! Fingers crossed! B)

Thanks that what we have now as well, its just nice to see what you have before we get it so as we can establish the potential.
Flake size dropping, intensity increasing. Temp 1.5C and dropping slowly. Even wet surfaces now starting to get covered.

OK Guys along the south east Kent coast you are the main line of information, what passes through you will develop further, so if you can keep a running track of your conditions it will benefit all the rest of Kent, London and Essex as the main band runs up to them. In Canterbury its snowy, I would say a cross between light to moderate, but I am more interested in the heavy moderate bands that look like they are hitting you now!
Is it blizzard, whiteout yet or just light snow.
Gives you a taste of current conditions in downtown Folkestone...

Lovely loop here showing the bands of cloud coming at us from the continent with the rising sun giving a real feel of depth...

Is this fresh snow fall in the last 1 hour as the band hit you? Its important this answer... please be accurate, thanks,
Yes... started here in Folkestone about an hour ago. You can see the small clump that suddenly expanded and started the current snowfall. We had none overnight at all...
You can see it develop in this loop...

Started snowing again here. getting heavier as i type.. round 2 has started.. looks like its developing as it hits our shores
Yep... the first bit of this lot we're getting now just seemed to expand as it came across the 20 miles of sea or so from France.
Light to moderate but steady here... was expecting sleet!

anyone got a radar link to show the low coming across the channel please

Well... the first of the stuff coming over from the continent has just hit Folkestone... and we're meant to be well inside the warm slice of east kent, with sleet / rain.
No chance! it's snow! And settling on the remains of yesterdays...
Light at the moment.. but snow none the less!
Fingers crossed we catch up with the rest of you!

There's a button... two squares to the right of the "smilies" above the reply panel Sarah. That's good for stuff online like Flickr...

Still snowing here in Folkestone. Every time it's looked like it's going to stop,
It intensifies.
At least half a inch so far. Thing is by time these bonus showers finish it'll be too late for the sun to get to work...
Just dashed up M20 to Ashford and back and vis is down to under 50m in places with the outside lane totally white. Some VERY heavy showers just to the North of us. Very patchy though... And the texture, flakes, density is so variable from one minute to the next!

This is handy for checking conditions around the area. The highways Agency traffic cams...

Select a motorway, tick "cameras" and go...
Good for checking destinations if venturing out too.

Snow blowing around in the air... Folkestone
Better get partner to Ashford for work... picking her up later today might be a different story though!
Do KCC supply sleeping bags?

Anyone else having trouble with XC Weather ? Seems like only four sets of obs on there!

Langdon Bay just hit zero with brisk ESE gusting to 37mph... and it feels like it out there putting the recycling out and putting out the max/min thermometer i just dug out of the cupboard.
Your right to say it really has got to go some here in Folkestone to get over the maritime effect. But climb the hills at the back and it's doesn't take much to get out of the warm wet zone.

Can anyone remember the date of the Thundersnow? Was it '04 or '05?
Spectacular...................and the Snow came down so quick, never seen anything like it before or since.
Guessing from the above post, is was '03? Doesn't time fly?
Hi All.... just joined.
I remember watching it track across the country and reading the reports as it passed in uk.sci.weather. It's progress was so steady I quite enhanced my weather geek status by not saying anything till a few minutes before it came through.
A wall of misty white swept up the road. A few mins of rain with increasing winds and a sharp temperature drop behind it turning to thundersnow.
One of those memorable weather events... very dramatic seeing it march up the road like that!

Thinking perhaps the sea breeze will keep it inland from the coast... Might explain why i have such a good view of it here in blazing sunshine with monster snow white cauliflower tops towering overhead to the NW!
