[snow raven]

Have to say, I am well chuffed with the snow this evening, especially as it was so unexpected! Really starting to settle here now

[A Wintry Mix]

Had to post as it's snowing in Sandwich also and we have had nothing this year !!

Pleased to hear it

Dry, 'caster sugar' stylee snow here that isn't degrading into slush when the cars drive along the road and it appears to waft, then those tracks are again covered with more dry snow. No sign of abating and 3cms. No idea of the temps as gizmo kaput

Snowing hard now in Whitstable, good snowfall.

I'm not that far from you , its not snowing that hard at all!

[cliffrichard]

an inch? we only have about 0.5cm!

people should check their rulers methinks

Hence the other regional threads take the p i s s , with phrases like "Kentimetres"

0.5cm more like it in reality.

In Ashford 0.5cm, 1.2 Deg C and settling on north facing paving, grass & cars.

Really nothing to get too excited about.

Blowing hard towards Brighton, Cleo!

LOL

Another snowy scene from Suffolk... I put them all in dated folders and so far I've got about 6 folders for this year — amazing!

Plus the temperature's actually falling from -0.0° C to -0.2° C, so it might stick around into the night for the morning. What a good buy that toboggan was

[scrat]

still snowing heavily and settling here in Maidstone, got at least an inch here in places, car windows completely covered,

travelling to Austria tomorrow for skiing holiday, may as well not bother at the moment

ummm, I'll go then

[frozencanals]

Hmmmm here is SE London looks like it is getting lighter and turning to sleet

I see they are struggling up at Stansted again this evening...

Cheers

Snowing steadily here still, and settling fast now. The best snow of this cold spell...it took its time, but finally it delivered!

really, i live on Bearsted/The Downs, we have at least an inch here

[Kent Snow]

Still coming down but melting on impact on most surfaces, Temperature 1C.

[Snow Cat]

Snow got heavier and laying on roads and pavements too now. Temp gone down to 2.5.

[scrat]

Getting a really good covering now...is it going to turn to rain?? Please say no, please say no! (I need to get out more :blink: )

[Don]

Stopped snowing now. Oh well, suppose that's it.

[Tom D]

Well, we've got about 4-5cm here, really nice covering all over the roads and everywhere. Looks a bit wet though, with a temp of 0.0c.

Im no expert, but NW extra "radar" shows a touch of rain behind the main band (estimated to get here in 2/ 3 hrs)

-- so watch the reports coming from the north and the west to see wtf!

I'm so glad for you Paul... not sure where you are in Suffolk, but I was beginning to feel a bit guilty on you missing out.

The uppers are -7° C over the county, so it should be the lovely lasting powdery kind. Who knows? At this rate, Suffolk CC might have to reconsider the exorbitant £220k salary they're paying that Chief Exec woman. Ho ho.

[kentishchris]

Just driven from Medway to Maidstone via Bluebell Hill. Very heavy snow and fog at top of hill, car temp 0C no gritting in medway, snow laying on all surfaces. Is it going to last?

[mjays]

Flakes are thicker here now. It's still a bit too wet, roads and paths still have dark showing through, cars and grass covered though. Please keep snowing.

[Man of Kent]

Been snowing now since i got home from work about 7pm, sort of followed me from Central London, a good covering now here in Larkfield.

[frozencanals]

As good as stopped here now and what was lying has already largely disappeared

hey ho

heres to the next lot....

I don't think winter is over yet, but its been a long winter this time round

Thanks mate. I am in the east of the county, close to the coast and Sizewell power stations!

I've just had my Asda shopping delivered and the driver said the roads are relatively clear at the moment, but if it freezes up later it could be a dodgy morning tomorrow.

[Buckster76]

about 3cm in Chelmsford now

still moderate snow :blink:

[Rich44]
