My closest lamp post is broken (again) but just went out and put the security light on and it is pouring here and looking at the radar, looks like there is a lot more to come. gonna go pour a beer, will up date later

[Hughsey]

Light snow coming down, temperatures falling, 0.9 currently, look like I may be reasonably well placed for a slight covering tonight. Thanks for the updates TEITS.

[john pike]

have to do this ramp chart

fwiw

still chance for anywhere in the south east tonight

my main area would be anglia and moreso kent

places south of london will have a higher chance tomorrow

i would say radar watch but if they were right we would be buried now

lamp post is best now

[Lauren]

Warning do not watch if scared of storms.

Wow! I'd love to e perience something like that here. Although that might make me a little scared!

[Sno' problem]

There really is some building in the ppn coming through The Wash, and building over Suffolk/Cambs, so London area could see something. Keep watching that radar.

[alexisj9]

As it's quiet I will post one more waether vid, last one I promiss, this is my favorite tornado vid, so far.

It's a uk chaser, I think he sounds south eastern lol.

Wish some would stop mentioning the word streamer!

Had enough now roll on spring or like it was for a few days before this spell. Cold & essentially dry does not float my boat especially as i have to work outside 12 hours per day.

Rant over & see you all next winter if there is nothing of note before then.

I'm sure some parts of Kent do well with the snow moving in from the North Sea and clipping the area often, also thunderstorms from the channel pass through Kent to and if close to the coast then sea lightning is frequent through summer when storms miss land, i think East/Southeast Kent is a good place for lightning and snow. but further north and West Kent it's far less.

1. Have had some fantastic snow events over the years.

2. Again in some years import some superb thunderstorms from France.

3. Lived in Kent all my life and quite happy to stay.

Can't have everything all the time, Glossop will be no different in that respect .

It's not anaprop. But I do wonder whether graupel somehow intensifies the precipitation signal...Even stuff, that appears on the radar as 'heavy', seems only to be light graupel when it arrives?

I lived in Petts Wood many years ago and i had some great snowfalls.

I was in Tunbridge Wells, for the March 1970 blizzard...
