Well it just keeps throwing that snow at us!

This looks great Coast but why did I get a vibe from the MOD thread that things didn't look as good for SE on 06z?!

Really hope this looks the same come 4pm - or better!x

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Really? I'm in Surbiton and the skies are blue.

I am working @ Brackenll

[Paul Sherman]

[weathergeek]

Surrey, do u work in London? Or are u saying snow in Thorpe? Getting cloudier here in Epsom....x

[Gandalf]

Westward movement for me please Paul.

Just in case we do get a dumping, I want the dog fed, the yard watered and get a note to the milkman "no more cheese". (what film is that from, just for fun).

Airplane!

[Paul Sherman]

From the Met Office for London & South East.

Friday:

Snow becoming widespread through the morning and continuing through the afternoon and evening, with further accumulations and a risk of disruption. Feeling bitterly cold with a brisk southeasterly wind. Maximum Temperature 0 °C.

A beauty of a forecast if ever you saw one!

[hardcj]

Paul I'll go for same or further east please

[Rinse The Raindrops]

I think further East

[Jan_Bromley]

Evens for me Paul

[VillagePlank]

About the same for me, please, Paul.

[Kent Blizzard]

Midday the Saturday & Sunday Ice Warning will Include Snow surely?

[warrenb]

I will go for the total slider, with nothing north of the Thames

[swash]

Come on Exeter, surely it's time to update those warnings

[jright35]

I'm going for further west Paul

[GoonerGregg77]

I'd punt further east

[Tom Jarvis]

Ill go for staying the same Paul

[Robbie Garrett]

This could get rather serious now, first time I've ever seen that...

[NO LONGER POSTING]

[Col Berkshire]

Surrey is telling the truth. I work in the building next to him and confirm we have s dusting here in Bracknell

[throwoff]

Further east Paul

[Kent Blizzard]

Ok so after this mornings outputs, comments from the more knowledgable posters, my own thoughts on Kents Microclimate and how we deal with such situations and also Meto.

Here is the updated Snow Risk Map for Kent, upgrades to all for % and Depth, the main suprise is the far East rising a touch now also,
