Just started to snow very lightly here in Ditchling, settling too but very small flakes at the moment , nice to see;-)

[Gowon]

Bring it a bit further south!

lol..  if i could i would! you'll have to pray to the weather gods.

[snowbob]

Would think so Steve, bout 1 cm here but Im down the road from Biggin Hill and lower level.

yep top end of addington we have about 3cm

[terryall]

There is a large shower train currently in the estuary heading for NW Kent I think. Will that be snow?

[weathergeek]

At 4am we had a dusting but 3hrs later a good covering, yay! Gutted the school's still open x

[95 Degrees]

Starting to snow here, already settling a little on the frozen ground.

[snowbob]

So the North easterly kicks in on wed thurs according to bbc.

But temps go up to 7

Am I missing something here

???

[essex coast matt]

Looking at radar looks like kents going to get some fairly heavy showers,very slight covering here overnight,think any showers here will be rain or sleet during daytime.thurs looks very cold with strong north east winds

[Jimmyh]

Heaviest since I woke here doing a little dance

[TEITS]

Picture from the front of my house. Around 7cm which can be seen on the roof.

 

 

 

 

[Jimmyh]

Nothing marginal

Sorry to be a party pooper, but tomorrow's snow has been downgraded now to rain and sleet by Carol Kirkwood. So the heavy showers forecasted don't look like happening. Temperatures look too high at 6c. But who knows?

 

GFS model predicted this snow event a few days ago, but I remained cautious as they are not always correct. They stuck to their guns and the rest is history.

 

MetO were late with this snow event until yesterday, so don't pay too much attention to their forecast right now.

 

GFS shows snow for the SE most of today on and off.

 

GFS is also showing more snow on Thursday. Let's see how this one pans out.

Just had a light snow shower here which gave a brief dusting. So gutted were not getting a meaningful easterly as we haven't had a decent covering in years.

[Karmamel]

Meto says heavy snow at 7am . Nothing yet :-( very cold though and sky looking full of something .

[rach76]

brighton didnt get anything as usual  

[snowrye]

nothing here,but thats no surprise

[loopydreamer]

Ooooh... what a surprise.... it's snowing!

[Snow Queen one]

I have snow. Yay looks lovely. Not enough to make a snow man but nice to see.

[john mac]

Woke up to nice covering at last the snow shield has broken!!! Lol

[The Whiteman]

Snowing in Maidstone fairly heavy 20p size flakes good covering now. Might be in right place for the showers off the north sea. Seem to be heading this way

[Thinon]

Plenty of rain and sleet as usual in Caroline Crapwood's forecast.

[stainesbloke]

Nice thin covering here, already melting though so expect it to be gone by lunchtime. Great to see though!

[snowfish1]

Nice covering here, minimum 3-4 cm. we seemed to be in the sweet spot.

Sweet spot is being added to banned words..... we in the unmentionable zone

[Paul Sherman]

Certainly has that Rain/Sleet and Wintry Mix Feel this morning here if anything falls, not holding my breath at all.

Have seen more whiet frm frosts than what we had overnight so unless your an ant around these parts you are not going to throw a snowball.

 

The ground last night was rock hard from 24hrs of -4c Dewpoints which is why it had no problem settling last night, if only we could have got those Dp's late last week when the heavy Precip was falling, does not take a rocket scientist to know how all the decent spells have started with Scandi Highs and negative dewpoints sowing the seeds for the ground to be ripe.

 

Enjoy further inland as you might squeeze out more snow than slops
