From looking at the latest radar am drawing a blank for tonight along the Essex Coast and most of NW Kent and Greater London,further up the Essex Coast will still get some showers but these are fading as they slip south, the winds have switched back on my weather station to Northerly and this is also happening out in the Estuary with the latest shower now heading due South again, great for Kent again, tomorrow looks similar with another Shower Train setting up over Kent.

So we pin our shopes on events later on Saturday into Sunday :) :)

Groundhogg day. :)

Just spent the last hour and a half in the garden in the hot tub watching the light fluffy clouds float by. Not a flake in sight so now the wind has turned N i am missing even more of them. If the wind had stayed NE i would be on target for some but now am not lol never mind it was nice sitting in a puddle of hot water sipping a cold drink with snow from the bar floating in it.

hour and a half????????? eeeewwwwww.....really wrinkly now I bet! :)

Aww...gutted! The Medway Towns have had mentions even on the National Forecasts today but it looks like we'll miss all the action. May as well go to bed then :)

Good luck to those getting hit - not at all jealous - actually hate snow really :)

I'm almost scared to look at the next radar update to see if it's heading our way...

lol was already so no change there. Still no snow and if the fax is to be believed i am not going to get any for all those who think the snow has hit all of kent i can say it has not. It is a very localised feed and as such a lot of kent in fact the majority of it has missed out.

I Think that is for tomorrow's Streamer for Kent again before the Upper Warm Front moves in, which is advancing from France on that T24 UKMO Fax Chart.

I posted above that looks like Kent will get a Streamer again tomorrow (Like they need another one :):) ) And that the main area of Snow looks like coming in very late on Saturday until Sunday ?

Well the Met Office invent gives me snowfall from 3-6am, can anyone tell me if it is worth setting to alarm clock, or is that "yesterdays news" as the winds don't look like turning east now?

I give up. Tonight is a write off for those not under the streamer. Tomorrow should be better, but it wouldnt surprise me if the snow stayed in france, not to mention possible coastal marginality. Yes toys are being ejected from my pram atm. Night all, enjoy the streamer you lucky few!
