A couple of kids are out in the street playing in the salt that the gritter dumped in the road. Its a good couple of mm deep. In fact we've had more grit than snow grains. 

I wish they had a sad emoji, seems wrong to "love" your post.  Lets hope all of us end up with more snow than grit!

Honestly! I've just had to apologise to my little brother after I bought winter gear for him to play in the snow

Yeap, just wasted a load of money on snow gear for 3 kids, dunno why i do it to myself every single time.

Although its a waste of money at this point, i would of been more annoyed if we had a decent amount of snow and they didnt have the gear to stay out all day and enjoy it. 

Just hope maybe we get a decent freeze tonight and a surprise for tomoz?

Sweet of you to buy ya brother snow gear, sure he really appreciated you doing that.

Well today is a bust, here atleast, what snow did start to lay has now melted and pretty much stopped snowing too.

I know i should be greatfull for seeing falling snow, the first in nearly 3 years, just cant help feeling cheated, such great potential and it just went to @%!#. 

[South East and East Anglia Weather Discussion February 2021 onwards]

Very excited to say, the snow is now actually laying after hours of just disappearing into the wet ground!

 

Its also coming down pretty thick too!  Think im more excited than the kids! 

Thank you snow Gods!

Well ive had a good 10 hours of heavy rain.  And now its snowing. Isnt laying as the ground is utterly sodden. 

Dissapointing would be a massive understatement..

The radar has just switched from rain to snow for the SE - not sure if this is a computer error or suddenly just hit cold enough air to turn it to snow. Seems strange

Yes it snowed, only for a few minutes though.

But worrying though if people are in it or under it and reporting nothing falling?!

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Well it' snowing here In Romney Marsh, 2/10 blizzard conditions lots of little styrene type balls.

Not showing on metoradar though? According to that looks like alot of precip for about 9-10ish coming up from france?? 

Anyone know what its looking like for us today here along the SE coast?

DUPLICATE

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

Well after years of no snow I've had a really lovely snow day, sledging, snowball fights and snowman building with the kids as school was shut, best thing of all, my nearly 7 year old got to experience proper snow.  My desperation for the white stuff has finally been sated.

Here's to hoping that those less fortunate get to experience some decent snow at some point this week

[Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards]

 I am EXTREMLY happy to report we have laying snow here in Romney Marsh, about 2 inches, kids school shut, and the snow day is commencing! Yippppeeeee.

3 very happy kids,  4 if you include me!

This was 1987. Its very unlikely to get close to it. You never know though by the weekend we’ll be saying it was good though 

Weather like that is as rare as Unicorns these days, well in the south anyway.

Sferic off Kent - thundersnow.

god now I'm super jealous , always wanted to experience thunder snow... 

Been checking the radar on and off, an all day long I seem to be In this mystical snow free very narrow corridor that the snow showers skirt around to the north and the south, Its getting kind of tiring.

On a more positive note, (for those moaning about people moaning ) my lamp post has decided to work again.  Small mercies and all that

That is a screen grab of the radar not an app.  That screen shot shows where the snow should be.  But if it is light sometimes the radar can say it' snowing but at ground level it won' be

Thank you.

Medway Snow Shield in full effect.  Looks like nothing for at least 3 hrs, yet plenty either side.

 

 

how are these apps (I don't use them just going off ya screen shots) or what ever they are showing snow in my area (Romney Marsh) but there isn't any snow actually falling? I don't get it?

Today has not been the greatest of days, and now to top it off, my lamp post has stopped working! What are the chances!
