just went outside to see how deep it was and clear our front path... may as well say there's just over an inch in Dover

Which part of town are you in?

[lottiekent]

Thanks MAF, looks ok then! I'm just very disappointed as Friday morning woke to nothing and 15 miles to my West had a few inches then today I wake to find a few miles to my East has it all....I patiently await my turn

[tinybill]

So whats the odds this BLANKET of snow the BBC are on about tomorrow night/Sunday morning will give us a large amount of snow.

very high last night they said up to 8 inches over sat night just to top up our 8 inches here already and over night we had 2 more inches plus just looked at the radar there more on the way both on the UK radar and the dutch radar not going far to-day

[lottiekent]

Off to work in Folkestone in half an hour, will be interesting to see if they had any more down there overnight...

[tornadica]

Just looked outside and its started coming down again. i don't expect it to last all day but was so nice to wake up to!

Haha lol!

[NATE25]

Where in Deal are you OP? Got about an inch up at the top of Mill Hill

Might be the first time down here by the sea (Blenheim Road) has got more than yo gys up on the hill!!

Just shows how very very localised this can be.

Seen those clouds coming in?!

we got quite heavy snow falling here now

[MAF]

the line of snow is approximately from Margate down to Rye. the radar shows a good chance that the showers will continue for the next hour along that line

[tornadica]

Im by st leonards church on london road and id say there is about 2 inches maybe bit more

[Updraft]

Which part of town are you in?

Coombe Valley... top end

[The Weather Yoda]

Strange...I thought I lived in East Kent. Seems the snow has other ideas

[tornadica]

I feel your pain, my friend!! But not today!!

Actually getting quite heavy now. And I HAVE woken the kids up - getting the sledge ot of the shed (had it for 9 years without use) and going to stop radar watching and go and play!!

-4.3c in Charlwood at 7am - this should help to keep our snowbase here in good nick!

[Tom D]

It's a frigid -5.1c here this morning, clear skies, looks like it's going to be a nice day. Don't think any of the snow melted yesterday.

Glad to see you guys in the extreme east have done well overnight. I wonder how my favourite place for a snow chase is looking this morning, Capel-Le-Ferne, between Dover-Folkestone.

Snow chased there in Feb.83 after 36 hours of continuous snow from a streamer, with thundersnow thrown in.

Nearly a foot of level snow and 6 foot+ drifts.

And again in Feb 1994.

morning Tom, hoping SE20 and SE18 will be seeing some more snow overnight, so you wont have to go far to chase it

[Updraft]

Snowing again now with big fluffy flakes!

Took this picture earlier!

[Snowy Bob]

No more down here in Folkestone apart from the dusting we got last night. Can't believe that's yet again we've missed out here..

Not impressed.

We had some melting here but only in sourtherly facing areas - most of the snow is still around - it all froze up in the evening whcih meant driving down my road very tricky!

What are people's thoughts regarding tonight's possible snow? Do you think us in the South East will see any of it?

[Tom Quintavalle]

Hi Mick,

Havnt been able to change my Avatar, I'm actually in Lee SE12 now.Would be nice to see a bit more overnight.

Leaving for work soon, bet the pavements are like a skating rink!

Regards,

Tom.
