[john pike]

Isn't Friday under a bit of debate at the moment John?

hi jule it is

gonna wait until tomorrows fax comes out

looks like an undercut but wanna be sure

[Sussex Jules]

Yea was reading on MAD thread about it not sure if the nerves could deal with the expectation of that one!

[VillagePlank]

Right now for Kent wouldnt be surprised if the old sweet spots do well in north Kent, if it continues on current track, with the elevation like blue bell hill region, etc

Hope so, that's where I'm sitting

[Sussex Jules]

Don't cars always seem to get stuck up on Bluebell Hill in the snow?

[snow raven]

I know why the temps are still to high here- still in atlantic air-

If you have net weather radar zoom in on day DA9 & watch the little shower ahead of the wrap- the wrap is moving SSW the shower is steaming SE-

Will the blob be over north east London in the 1hr?

[StLuke]

Cheers guys could do with a bit of luck after today, think I might grab an hour and set the alarm!

[Coopsy]

towards the top it gets steep and cars do struggle. I used to live just off the mad junction up there - about 200m ASL I think...always good for snow spotting

[WillinGlossop]

Colchester very heavy snow lightening reported laid and sticking to everything apparently.....clouded over here.... Will it can it?

[Ice Day]

Been snowing moderately here now for about 15 minutes. Temp dropped by 0.5 degree's in that time!

[Sussex Jules]

Yea I remember it was on the news when we had our day of snow about cars stranded

[john pike]

one thing i have noticed

i dont expect the atlantic to be getting through that easy as per saturdays fax

[manutdmatt1986]

Sleety

So pretty much all of it will be sleet. No point staying up then.

[sarah7meme]

Windy out there

[essexweather]

Moderate snow here now

Temps 0.0c / -0.2c

[Rob]

So pretty much all of it will be sleet. No point staying up then.

I think it's safe to say you won't miss anything worth staying up for if you go to bed, i'll going soon too I think!

[Sussex Jules]

I will listen to your experience I am only a newbie

[abovefreezing]

Might *just* be ok -- extremely marginal. Height helps and if the friggin dp would get off it stubborn 2.4 butt here, I'd be most grateful!

Loooking now for a sudden and dramatic drop as the flow turns more to the north, and later from the NE. We have some of the highest DPs around in Kent at the mo, sadly.

Precip does look like its shrinking, esecially the tail but then its mostly over land...anything could happen as it crosses the estuary and drags in moisture from north sea...i hope
