You should what’s heading our way shortly!

How long do you think it will take the rain to reach the Whitstable - Herne Bay Area today?

Well, things have arrived with a bang in Whitstable plus heavy rain as well.

Forecasts for tomorrow morning don’t seem great for travel. I have a car full of children going from Whitstable to Hertfordshire but I’m not sure if snow, rain, ice or heavy winds are forecast as depends what you look at. Any ideas of what we can expect from a mainly M25 journey from South to North? Thanks.

At last its snowing in Whitstable and its settling.

One of my daughters lives in Amsterdam and they are under a red warning. All the city closed down at 3pm.

Just a quick memory of 1987. I was due to play golf that day and woke up when it was dark and got ready to go. It was dark outside but extremely windy at around 6am and I saw a few bins flying down the road. However, nothing stops a mental golfer so I set off around the South Circular and M25 towards Herts. Luton vans and some lorries had been blown over but I carried on until reaching said golf course in Herts. the secretary came out in his dressing gown and said “ what rate you doing here?’”. Ive come to play golf said I. You must be mad he said, we have fallen trees on the course as well as dead deer! Oh! Said I and left to go home. Later, I found out the TV crews were in my street as 100 yards away 27 trees had been blown over in the street and completely blocked the road but I never saw this as went the other way in the dark. Never say a golfer is not dedicated but more probably slightly unhinged…..

It’s just about to his Whitstable. Been taking almost all day here and thoroughly miserable.

Sitting in the conservatory with garden lights on and playing my guitar - looked up and saw very light snow falling and gradually getting heavier. Very unexpected and so pretty. Even my guitar playing didn’t scare it off! Perfect evening.....

Just snowed in Whitstable.....for 5 minutes!

Hail shower in Whitstable at present. Looks like some interesting activity in the channel - but I've said that a few too many time over the last few days to no avail so I withdraw that statement

If you run the radar through from about an hour ago you see the snow showers approach Whitstable and then split to go around it. Just like pigeons do if you are in a field and they fly towards you - but never overhead!

“Heaviest streams currently, red bringing worse conditions towards the far east Ramsgate/Margate” explains why Whitstable is getting almost nothing.

I’m just east of Sheppey in Whitstable and just tiny flakes in a strong wind. Nowhere near what I was expecting but plenty of time left for improvement.
