Sorry to hear this mate! Out of interest when did you first have covid I had it in June when not many others had it. But I was the only one at my work who tested negative New years day everyone I had been around at work was positive!  Everyones telling me I'm still immune from the first time? But people that had it  few months earlier than me in Feb March and are the ones have caught it again!

Mum had it in March. Has been close to positive people in hospital recently as she has been in for various non-covid reasons and hasnt caught it again

Heavy rain,sleet, shower here in Iwade and wind really whipped it up. Sleet tapping on the windows.

I was at school in Dartford during this I remember getting sent home and we all had a snowball fight on the way home had around 5-6inches of snow.in Dartford the most I'd seen since I was a wee toddler in 1991, it was a lovely surprise after so long without a big snowfall NW Kent was definitely in the Sweetspot that day& S Essex also

Yh we smashed it that day, it started snowing around 4am and by 11am we had 6" of Snow

@Steve Murr Would I be right in thinking this could still give us some streamer action in the SE with a colder Ely flow clinging on Sunday? Or would this simply be a dry Easterly by this stage

Dewpoints lowering, BBC have backed down changing it to Showers so we all know what that means:

Snow 

I'm not the only one who is beggining to believe now.

Looking quite promising for seeing first snow tonight temp 3.6C and DP 0.8C going right way 

[Eagle Eye]

Interesting the fact that the Met Office have Changed Direction and are Ramping more than the BBC they usually wait until a few Days before could be a sign that within the Next Week we will have a High Snow Chance Compared To Before so hopefully.

Good to hear as your not far from. Can I ask a favour and if we posting live weather reports, can we put your location on as well.. Cheers

[NewEra21]

Dew points in the north sea and to the east look promising now, not getting carried away yet. But things are getting close to the right side of marginal..... Now we just know there will be no precip tonight

Watching the painfully slow decrease in temp and dewpoint today - 0.1c/hr - both at 2c after a high of 2.7c this morning. They are going to have to get a move on if I'm going to see any snow

[jamesgold]

What’s this optimism?? Been starved of it recently, I’ll be watching the lampposts, hopefully I’m just about south enough here in Bromley to nudge my way into a streamer. Just looking like I’m a few miles too north just right now

Those 6ft snow drifts just became one step closer

[clark3r]

Interesting turning to sleet on radar, it’s in line with the gfs, wouldn’t it be amazing if we get snow tonight 

[lottiekent]

Even though temp is 3.9c and DP 3.0c, just had another heavy shower with ice pellets in. Maybe higher ground (not me, only 30m asl) will get a covering later

[Jackski4]

Didn’t GFS show snow from 7PM Monday night? If it’s already sleet then it could be on course

My test in July 2020 was negative thankfully. Symptoms this time are different with a giddy head ans constant cough. Let's hope the test comes back negative! 

It's best to be extra safe as some are getting COVID more than once.

Any amount of snow will cheer all of us up!

[Stu_London]

its gone back to rain now!!

LOL
