Rminder to self to think positive. It is actually snowing right now in mid kent. Shame it cant keep up with the melt-rate!

Report from mid Kent, 04:11 AM Just so as you know Im not imagining the thaw: Just had a look @ weather: One minute moderate snow, then sleety, then sometimes light rain. Can definitely see laying snow shrinking & paths are beginning to become visible around the edges. Slight melt craters beginning to appear on the grass. Recently made footsteps in the snow are revealing tarmac underneath (as they melt 1st!) Weather station: Temp: 1.8 Deg C DewPoint: 1.1 Deg C. Pressure: falling YUK! Yep, could be heading down towards the SE, then. Still no sign of anything, as forecast, coming from the South /East.

Your guess is a good as mine. Something odd happening. Steve M also earlier reported melt. Its not just me! Maybe you have so much there, you arent noticing any slight thaw, or perhaps its coming down enough with u to replenish? Thats deffo movin across N sea, but looks to have EA written on it. Aren;t we looking for something to come up from the SE?

Good question. I think the remaining cloud cover, with pesky sleety stuff might thwart that, though. Id rather it stopped peein on the (fairly decent) snow cover - its just destroying it slowly but surely. The blanket effect is outwieghing any effects of the PPN, which would need to be heavy snow to counteract the melt @ the mo! Mid kent. God knows I had enough trouble uploading a pic, I'll try witht the profile thing...

You been eating brussel sprouts again?

Thanks for pic. Thats a long way out. I suspect its heading for EA/ the wash, but I suspect things are a bit marginal there (might be rain?) certainly the melting's getting faster here. Still dangerously close to 2 Degrees.

Let me try that pic again:

Dont see anything here. Are you looking further out? / pic attached Whoops, cant seem to make the pic come out. I can see out about as far as off EA

I thought it was just me! If you ask me, its been playing up all day. Interesting, sum1 slated meto radar (invent) for the same thing, so mebbe there are certain condx where the radar detection is a bit s h i t t y? Im findin the radars of little use @ the mo. None of them are showing rain/sleet, and thats def the case hr in Mid Kent right now. Its flippin raining on our 4 inches of snow! I can start to see kerbstones again!

Well, def, see my last post. Thaw has been on I would say most of the day. Whereas prev, there was enuf sno falling to beat the melt, there isnt any more here in Mid Kent. I think the "!big freeze!" might have peaked, you know! (Which breaks my heart if it gets the local councils out of trouble for spunking all our council tax away instead of having enuf grit to look after us!)

No it isnt. BTW, in mid Kent here it aint far off 2 deg C! I would say the melt rate is beating the accuum now, even in this "favoured" position. IOW, its melting faster than its falling! (Wonders if the warm front has moved over, as forecast, and just isnt causing any noticeable change in PPN, since we have been havng shwrs hr all day anyway!)

orange = light pollution (your streetlights) bouncing off low cloud. Nothing to do with snow -- sorry!

Forgive my bluntness. I just came back from a night out. Where's all the snow we were promised from 9pm tonight? Wasnt there a front coming?
