  1. Snowing in Maidstone - trying hard to lay - but nothing much showing up on the radar- weird?
  2. Wife & i went for a walk yesterday afternoon at top of Detling Hill (approx 500' asl), nr Maidstone and from the ruins of Thurnham Castle looking North there were the remains of a drift in a field about 200 yds away. I'd say probably 25feet long and a couple of feet wide but a brilliant white as opposed to all the dirty piles of snow that get lift in shopping centre car parks. i was suprised to see it as it faces south although until this weekend there's not been much sun to melt it. Must be one of the few partches left south of the Thames.
  3. Suddenly we've been hit with a very heavy snow shower in Maidstone. i spent an hour clearing the drive and its completely covered over again!
  4. Maidstone has been absolutely hammered since around Noon and at least 5cm/2ins have fallen, probably more but its been blown around. Usually the hills to give us some protection but i think the strength of the wind has blown the showers straight into the river valley that Maidstone sits in and the snow has been unloaded on the poor burgers of the County Town! It appears to have eased off at last.
  5. Frequent snow showers in Maidstone with strong gusts blowing it around even in my fairly sheltered garden. My daughter should be travelling to Plymouth today by train, i just hope i can get her up to London!
  6. About 10cm level snow in South Maidstone. Apparently both Bluebell & Detling Hills closed by snow, ice & abandoned vehicles. Radio Kent providing a great public service, don't travel in this part of the world unless you have to. We had heavy snow from 4pm to about 7pm, since then its been lighter and intermitent.
  7. Main roads are fine, i imagine side roads will be a little icy!
  8. Not sure what happened there - didn#t mean to turn it into a twitter post - but nevertheless big flakes falling but having said that our total to date is probably less than 0.5cm on paths and cars etc.
  9. Snowing hard now in Maidstone, started off as graupel/hail but now small flakes covering all surfaces! most unexpected here in Mid (not East) Kent!
  10. First post of 2010 for me. Just popped round to corner shop for paper and sky turning grey. Dark clouds blowing in on a light NE and North Downs to NE of Maidstone disappearing. Update - just started snowing in Maidstone, light of course but def sticking!
  11. Maidstone has a good 6 inches (Mote Park area) of level snow with both Bluebell Hill and Detling Hill closed. Still snowing hard!!!
