I see there are a few moronic comments on the thread too.

Currently that lot coming down from the North on NW Extra radar brings cold rain, maybe sleet and a few snow patches on the Eastern flank?

If you look at the radar it gainingin intensity, ie evap cooling.... See what the next few hours have to offer.....

[Coast]

See what the next few hours have to offer.....

Yep, worth looking up at the sky when it gets light!

[Kent Snow]

1.5C and mostly clear skies.

[Mrsf16]

Rain in Peterborough :-(

[Paul Sherman]

Lovely Clear Skies at Sunrise giving way to the Front from the North, No precip at the moment but expecting Sleet at best here, I reckon if anyone can hit the Snow Jackpot today it might be Kent if the Colder Uppers can dig around enough before it clear into Europe.

Onwards and Upwards to next week after this lot goes through!

[DanN]

NMM & WRF both show precip for some of us, around mid morning perhaps. NAE not as much. Looks borderline sleet/snow to me (just my amateur opinion!) but I guess some of the heavy showers will be more snow. Wind gusts pick up again as it veers to the North West, according to the GFS/NMM. Maybe 40mph in places. Could be an interesting morning for some, hopefully!

[anything-but]

What time is the front due to hit north kent? Wondering if i should hold off getting on the bike incase.

[lottiekent]

Temperature dropped from 2.0c at 06:45 to 1.4c now! And we had 31mm of rain from that system!

[Paul Sherman]

I see there are a few moronic comments on the thread too.

I think the "Wife Had Sex With A Boxer Dog" was quite an interesting Story personally Deary me what these people in Suffolk get upto behind closed doors eh ??

[Coast]

Maybe too warm down here for me, 3.2°C air temp and 0.6°C dew-point Weather station is showing 46.6 mm rain in the last 24 hours, most of that overnight!

[Robbo SBFC]

Raining in Stevenage, Getting heavier and the wind is picking up!

[WillinGlossop]

[Coast]

Here's that lump of cloud on its way through Norfolk currently, I've no idea of its forward speed:

[WillinGlossop]

Very eerie looking at sheerness webcam, lookslike pink fog.... Like a scary movie.....

[suffolkboy_]

Looks as though its snowing in Norwich/just east of Norwich, according to the 'weather type' feature on the NW radar (found the new version to be very accurate!)

Temperature is falling here still, now 1.5C

Snow: Britain Braced For First Major Fall

Commuters are braced for more travel chaos in the coming days amid warnings they could see the first significant snow fall this year.

Next week is expected to be much worse than recent days, according to Sky News weather presenter Isobel Lang. "The weather is looking much colder next week with the potential for an icy blast from the east. This could bring some significant snow falls across eastern Britain," she said. Friday will bring slightly better weather after a light dusting of snow sent the UK’s transport system into meltdown on Wednesday.

But there could still be some transport problems due to early snow, particularly over eastern counties of England, said Lang.The weekend should be better although there will still be icy roads and risk of wintry showers in the north on Sunday.
