20 p flakes again lol

[john pike]

Still heavy snow here ;-)

[GoonerGregg77]

Surprised at the let down that is Kent and other parts that have reported dustings, and sun peeps even, but I did fear some would miss out due too seeing other bands from the west being shunted SW into Northern France a few days ago. I just think the high pressure to our East is too strong.

Still snowing lightly to moderate occasionally here in Dagenham East, a cm or so maybe lying still, deep enough for a ant! lol

Better than some obviously anyway. I'm still happy, although depths have been disappointing too say the least in my neck of the woods.

Temp hovering 0c

Edit: Coming down heavier than it's been all day now, I'd say a moderate fall now. Although I can see a few attempted breaks in the cloud overhead.

Sittingbourne has 0cm, snizzle a few times that's it would say to anyone east of here this event is over

[Bluebreezer54]

Well if it is indeed fizzling out it seems to be going more with a bang than a whimper here in Hastings. Heaviest its been all day and blowing sideways.

[hernebaylooby]

well one thing good has come out of today i havent got to do the school run as my dad has offered to get her well suppose id better have a bath and get the beef stew and dumplins on before work tonight.

[Lampostwatcher]

Starting to pivet and slow right down

[Great Plum]

That will be the sun starting to set Plum my old chum!

Not at 14.50!

[Joker]

Looks like Worthing, Brighton etc will get some more heavier stuff from the sting in the tail for a while and then - fin!

[MrsB28]

Snow is lighter now, I think we'll probably be left with light snow for the next 3-4hrs or so which may add another 1-2cms but I think the big totals are more or less done now...

Still going in Chafford, if anything a bit heavier

[nanu]

its def fizzling out now.. breaking down pretty quick.. in an hour doubt it will be snowing here going by the radar

[Sussex Jules]

Gives me something to do on my day off I guess. Clump watching, mmmmm. :-D

Sounds so much classier than blob watching though

[Gowon]

Temps up to -1.03c and snowing slightly lighter.

[WinterSnow]

Not really let down because i had a feeling I'd end up with nothing, was hoping to be proven wrong -_-

[SnowBungle]

Medway got a pathetic dusting. Radar showing that it's retreating. That's it for Kent. Better luck next time :(

[snowrye]

Last 10 mins sky has darkened and snow is falling,flakes are bigger,hopefully the start for me in Rye

[Guest]

You certainly got nothing alright. Still Sunday should be your day!

[lottiekent]

Not a single speck of snizzle or flake of snow to be had here

[Coast]

Same in Eastbourne, I think we are experiencing some of the effects of orthographic lift from the Downs as it comes up The Channel and along the coast.

Competition wise, we are going to ground out a 0-0 draw.

A couple of hours tops for you MM, you'll still get out for a Friday on the town!

[Sussex Jules]

Do you know if Brighton is included on that ?

Please don't twist what they are saying they did talk about but they stated they were very unsure of the details and to keep watching. The same they have been saying all day. Sorry replied to the wrong person should have replied to M Fish
