Typical. Maidstone getting heavy now!!

I would'nt give up, looks like you could get some soon, looking at the radar, plenty of PPN to come.

[Whereisthesnow?]

I must confess, I've never logged on in here during Summer but this year I'm going to as its been fun during winter. You guys are always spot on with the weather and I'm certainly learning a lot.

[Alpine glow]

Okay mate thank you.. Its western edge seems to be pushing more North slightly

Will it ever come down to hit Brighton?! All day, it has been hovering so close!

[WillinGlossop]

Still 1cm on some surfaces...... 0c dew -4c dew rising this should be good...... Heavier precip to ne hopefully itll start heading inland a bit more and be more of flake variety.....

Just been with my mate to drop his mum off in East Kent we actually got lost due road being shut however it was a lovely drive did the whole A2 and A20 the snow line seems to be most places East and South of Strood back to Dartford and we just have a few flakes blowing about, there were some heavy downpours of snow around lenham all the way to Folkestone with a dusting here, the closet dusting I saw to Dartford/London was at the top of Strood going onto the A2 nothing settled between here and there, what's instore for the rest of the nite? Really not sure about our area need more easterly direction of wind

Very interesting in the summer if we get a sniff of some storms incoming from the continent!

[Tom Jarvis]

Ye just need to push west by 10 miles then ill get heavy stuff

Presumably getting stuck over the South Downs, amazing though you could almost draw a straight line along it on the radar!

Temp holding out here at +1.2, dewpoint rising, now -2.4 up from around -5 earlier. Does this mean more moisture in the air and a greater chance of a decent snow shower?

[lawrenk]

heavy burst of polystyrene. All surfaces starting to go white which is nice.

Im hoping so...... Its stopped snowing here now..... Again......far too showery atm..... If we get anything more than 1cm it has to be more persistant! And heavier.....

Ah, cool. Not really experienced many thunderstorms for many years. I remember there being so many during the 80s. Experienced a great one in Cuba a few years ago. Torrential rain - it was quite something.

[john pike]

amazing from japan

bit concerned about the frozen horse though

I remember going to a 50th birthday party in Bexley might have been July 2007? with a massive thunderstorm that just seemed to sit over the village for hours, the main street was like a river!

[Snowman.]

Starting up again here.

At this rate I will have foot.

By 2014

5m is a bit too much...... 1ft would do me fine!

Blimey!!!

Got a covering of polystyrene here and can honestly say that is a sentence I have never used before tonight but describes it perfectly Maybe visiting Maidstone tomorrow by the looks of things!

[Met4Cast]

Slightly thicker sugar dusting on the cars, walls etc.. Nothing on the ground though
