[Kent Blizzard]

Hello can someone tell me wether it will snow on my bin in the garden

Joking aside, it's very wet here I would be suprised if any snow will settle that much to cause a problem here, I also heard it will turn back to sleet during the night anyway

[lottiekent]

just drove over shazda greenithe.

Big spodges of sleet on winscreen.

Car temp 1c.

Forgot to post 3pm obs! (2pm in brackets)

Temp = 2.7c (3.0c)

DP = -0.5c (-0.5c)

[Snowangel-MK]

Meteorologically-speaking!

*tsk* of course, what did you think I meant,....my smalls ?

I know the feeling when you get to my age

but I'm not as old as you, so who knows who or what I will be feeling when I am

Anyway, back to the weather....I have no idea what's going to happen so here is a forecast from someone else.....

[Tom Jarvis]

Just started sleeting here

[Grinzzz]

is this front supposed to pivot? Looks like clearing through too quick??

If I'm reading the radar right the centre of the low is still heading northeast but has slowed considerably in the last hour or two.

looks that way with real tran

is this front supposed to pivot? Looks like clearing through too quick??

transition at or around sea level starts in kent area then a pivot of sorts back west/south west in early hrs...so again nowcasting.

[Charltonkerry]

Both dew point and temp fallen 0.2c in 20 minutes, seems to be raining

[Snowman.]

Even then, cover is likely to be variable, with some places seeing very little, others 2-4 cm and with the potential for 10 cm or more over parts of the south Pennines and 5 to 10 cm for Kent, and more locally over the Midlands and Essex.

[Coast]

Sleety wet, cold rain mix here, it's made my face freeze after being out and about.

[abruzzi spur]

+3.0c

Dp +0.3c

hPa: 999.7 still falling

Sleet in the rain for the last 30 mins. It's very marginal at the moment. Our altitude is clearly helping - I have just driven one of the boys to cricket nets at a school to the east of here, out in the sticks but about 50m lower, where it was all rain. On the journey back the sleetiness kicked in at around 100m. Amazing what difference just 50m of altitude makes when it is this borderline.

I'm in my conservatory and can see no sleetiness here... Must be your extra altitude!

Temp dropping nicely now, gone from 5c about a hour or so ago, to now 3c, still raining moderatley, brisk SE wind making it feel more like -3oc.

[Great Plum]

For those with snow, any signs of it settling?

[crazysnowcatz4]

Yep tis true the rain has turned to snow in Canterbury, ground is too wet atm for it to stick.

But the point is Coast, did you just pop out, go out out, or just pop out and about ?
