[Kent Blizzard]

Very fine snow again here, bitterly cold though

[Stormi]

Not strictly weather related, but if you're from Kent you probably know of "Kent Weather" run by Shaun Maltby.. well..

Blimey! So thats why he deactivated everything earlier this week!

[pages]

just about to cross the channel

Yep developing quickly above le harve should intensify across the channel as now -8 uppers and warm water.

[chionomaniac]

Now this event has gone up to a 6/10 following the last 2 hours of further moderate snow. Great bit of back building!

[MONKEYJAM]

Looking at radar now looks like its changing from sw to ne to s to n ? Does that mean more snow from channel ????

OMG LOL...That is terrible, shouldn't laugh really but jeez, seems like he got mixed up regarding the use of a weather(if this doesn't say cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) Cock.

Fine persistant snow for the last hour or so in Punnetts town Temp -2 radar seems to show things pepping up and rotating

[Lampostwatcher]

Can anyone tell me if its going north the band to the south

[leemondo]

bigger flakes, heavier now too, glad i got home (just) stupidly went my normal route, which includes some nasty hills, but made it, although slightly sideways lol

[stun12]

I can confirm that there's snow in them thar clumps which are heading north and expanding

[Tamara]

I know where all that snow for eastern parts on the nae for this evening is coming from?

Anyone spot it?

That ppn (snow) area has organised itself recently in the channel just offshore - looks well placed

[chiller]

Dont think we will get any snow up here in medway/swale till maybe 9/10 pm if that orientates NE on the radar This is soo frustrating but I guess we have done well in past years when snow starvation hit other areas of the SE. Fingers crossed...

[Kent Snow]

Temperature now on the rise. Was -1.5C. now -0.7C. If it continues to rise at least there's no Snow to melt!

[SnowBungle]

If it weren't for reading all the celebrations on here, or looking at the soul-destroying radar, I would have said the forecast was completely wrong and this weather system never existed. A very light flurry late this morning is all Medway saw.

Completely lost faith in seeing any snow this season. False alarm after false alarm. It's left us Medwayians so bittery disappointed.

In other news. Temp hanging around -1.

[Kentspur]

Still snowing here - has been constant since 8.30am although much lighter now.

Wish I could blow some over to those of you who haven't had any yet

It's now 10hours of snowfall almost and we've had 1 inch lol!!!!

[throwoff]

Come on. Give me 2cm in gillingham. We are surrounded on radar!

[Stormi]

Even now the precipitation on the radar is dying out about a mile or so from Rochester. Arrrrrgh!

Very light snow falling at the moment.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

How much have you got mate? It's about 6 inches here so far

up to 13.2CM here mate

[Jezzer]

Blimey! So thats why he deactivated everything earlier this week!

Deactivating, is that a polite way of describing what he was doing? Blimey

[Lampostwatcher]

Been snowing since 8.45am then stopped for an hour now its back to 5 p flakes for the last hour lol

[chionomaniac]

Moderate to heavy now at home - as good as it has been all day - have been very close to the end for two hours!

[Lampostwatcher]

Had another 0.6cm in an hour

[totalhysteria]

Now this event has gone up to a 6/10 following the last 2 hours of further moderate snow. Great bit of back building!

Agreed! Car tracks in the road disappearing nicely under the fresh snow!

[Matty J]

Lol well another disappointment!

Arrived home from work to no snow at all, indeed family confirmed they had not seen ONE flake all day long!! Been to a few areas with decent snow cover today but yet again this part of Essex got zilch.

Sunday's stuff will be rain or sleet so no interest there for me. Cold spell has been a complete waste of time and its even more baffling that I live in the east and the cold came from the bleeding east!!

[loopydreamer]

tiny little flakes coming down again. I've got over the disappointment of getting hardly anything today. It's just nice to see it snowing here
