[Jo S]

Was hoping i would of got a lot of snow so i couldnt get to the job center for more humiliation, but alas nope, dont think i could get away with it today somehow

[Snowman.]

Temp 1.8 DP 0.2

[throwoff]

Light snow in Gillingham

[Thinon]

Worst "cold" spell ever?

[Buzzard]

Lets just all remember how bad last winter was - non stop mild, windy rubbish. At least we have a 'cold spell' as such! There's even been some snow

[snowbob]

is it settling up in addo?

Wife just reported heavy snow up addo settled everywhere even main road

Nice

[Southender]

Anyone read the met office? Accumulations around the Thames estery

Where? Lol. Dry as a bone here.

[Nick L]

Regarding tonight's Thames estuary possibilities. There is the chance of some light snow showers in that area, but accumulations will be light if any.

[Great Plum]

Current temp 0.6c dp -0.2

Hopefully that will help this snizzle settle!

Shame! I was hoping with sub -10 uppers convection would have really kicked in.. Any thoughts why not this time?

it's stopping now so it'll all be gone in a little while.

[alexisj9]

Got very dark cloud looking like it's driffiting this way a wee bit, thinking it will be rain, if it's anything white I'll be jumping about like a little kid lol.

Be deffo gone by the time I get home tonight anyway mate

[Dunstable Snow]

Light snow falling in Dunstable. Elevation has certainly helped - c 1.5cm of lying snow. I hope that Kent gets to see some decent snow action later on. I lived in Folkestone for many of my childhood years in the late 70s and early 80s. Experienced some great convective snow events. My sons at Uni in Canterbury so if it does kick off I will be on the phone to him. Have a good day everyone.

[warrenb]

Odd flake in the drizzle

Is that due to lack of PPN Nick?

High pressure will suppress convection unfortunately, despite the decent lapse rate. Although it should be sufficient enough to produce a few snow showers, I'd estimate up to 1cm in places.

Lack of precipitation / moisture or higher pressure I would think.

[alexisj9]

It's a bit of very light drizzle lol, looked like it would be heavy stuff.

[Nick L]

Kent and Essex will be most likely to see any accumulations tonight.

[snowbob]

Maybe stretch some out to Surrey fingers crossed

[TSNWK]

Thank you for the reply nick... Let's hope for a surprise or two..

[rubble79]

Turned to sleet. Didn't settle but some people are enjoying tormenting me by driving past with snow on their cars. Must have stuck close by.
