Hi -- yes please- After the frontal event I will go for 12-15 inches up there-

Anyway- ive been away to investigate the radar- MUCH MUCh better returns coming back now & the Estuary continues to get even busier-

The track vector for the showers now is Vectored between 265 & 269 degrees west-

Meaning the whole of the thames Estuary is going to get peppered .....

Not long now & We will be off to the races again in Bexleyheath.........

Im still bowled over by some of the temperature reports-....... -4.7c in Maidstone!!!!

S

So if Your going to get it, have I already got it or has it missed me already :lol: God I give Up tonight really I do

[scrat]

Friends almost completely stuck in Tatsfield (just outside Biggin Hill)...being towed, slowly by 4 x 4.. I love this weather, but it isnt great for some (mwhaaaaw) :lol:

[Neilsouth]

The snow showers keep stopping and dumping , the road is slowly vanishing but it needs to keep it up!!!!!

[Habsish]

-0.6 C on my Oregon external sensor. As Oregon stuff is rubbish (and their support confirm it) I checked with a mercury thermometer and it was -2.5C.

Has every one heard of the apparent drama at Gatwick airport, apparently some divvy ground staff sprayed the wrong type of de-icer on the runway and it froze solid and now the airports been forced to close! looks like someone will be getting their P45 in the morning!

Lol typical UK, a few inches of the white stuff and we're at panic stations and ppl are getting sacked, haha! :lol:

[Polar Bear]

We seem to have our own little streamer on the Sussex coast now. We've had moderate snow now for the last hour. A good covering now - probably 2 or 3 inches I'd guess - too cold to go and measure!

..hooray..pleased Brighton has..it is where I work sometimes...alas not tomorrow...enjoy. You must get some photos by the sea....

Temp now up slightly to -1.0. According to the meto radar i should be getting a pasting but all i have is a few grains blowing in the wind!! Never seen such a colourful radar with so little precipitation at ground level. Very strange!

About 10pm I think!!!

[true blue]

not bad for a south-coast town ,1" and rising sorry about quality of pics

[Paul Sherman]

It is strange how we are doing well but other areas of Suffolk arent. To add all this talk of the thames streamer and all that. but people are forgetting EA, suffolk and essex are getting hammered too

Not every part Davie

[deehamps]

[nick sussex]

So if Your going to get it, have I already got it or has it missed me already God I give Up tonight really I do

I'm shocked , how on earth can all those showers be missing you, looking at the latest radar theres a huge batch coming into your area.

[Rob]

[essex coast matt]

on the nw radar there is a hole with nothing over me in clacton, but about 10miles north in the harwich area looks like line showers on there way to colchester, still only dusting here

[willinkent]
