Ah, nice to see some snow but turning to sleet now. Fingers crossed we get a decent lasting snowfall soon.

Snowing in Canterbury! tiny tiny flakes, but it’s a start! 🤣 actually is more like snizzle than snow but still better than the endless rain we’ve had recently

Short but heavy rain shower just now near Canterbury. Temp 1.1C and dew point 0.4C. now just light rain

Just started to snow in Bridge, Canterbury 0.5c and dew point 0.2c

9th Feb vs 16th Feb (so far). Check out the ‘highs’ on the right of each image. Already seeing stronger sustained and gust wind speeds.

I’m near Canterbury in Kent. Just had a gust of 70 mph!!! No wonder I can’t sleep

Highest wind gust measured on my weather station today was 52.6 mph. last weekend the highest was 62.4 mph. wunderground ID ICANTE6

Thought it would be colder

Getting cold quickly now

My hubby manages a group of heating engineers and loads of calls about broken boilers are due to the frozen pipes. Advice above is spot on. But also remember some boilers will need you to push the rest button after too.

A bit late to the party on this conversation but I can confirm anyone with a station can upload to this site. I know because I connected my station last week! But most amateurs who have added their sites (just like Wunderground I suppose) tend to state what equipment they have and where it is located so you can make a judgement. I guess from a Met Office perspective they get access to ‘big data’ akin to crowd sourcing and can make use of that. keep up the good work on this thread guys. I’m just starting an Open University course on the weather so I hope to be able to contribute

Never seen a yellow warning saying rural locations could be cut off and cars stranded! That’s gonna be upgraded to a red warning surely?

Hi Streetkid i bought aercus WS3083 professional weather station with UV and light meter. Apparently Vantage Pro 2 is highly regarded but I couldn’t stretch to that!

I'm so excited about this cold spell i bought a weather station and linked it to the Met Office WOW site!!!! Dew point already dropped to -2.9... guessing it will be spending a lot of time in negative figures over the next couple of weeks! http://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/observations/details?site_id=ef30a420-c514-e811-90ce-0003ff59a722
