I think there are wildly different definitions of what 'snow', 'blizzard' and 'everything is turning white' means from users on this forum. Basically nothing at all has fallen near Gravesend so far.

Snowing in Woolwich
-
Thanks. I'm at about 260 - 270ft, with the top of my road about 300ft i'd imagine. Wondering if that would make a different to weather in the estuary that is less than 5 km away.

When the term "may see snow on higher ground", what sort of meters asl are we talking about?

Only 34.3 in my garden in Higham at the moment. -
The next six hours and next 36 hour models I’m looking at has snow pushing into the estuary sporadically through the afternoon and evening. Still think we have more snow to come. still snowing in Higham.

Cloud breaking up around Gravesend now.

I can normally see the dartford crossing in the distance from where I live... my friend in Greenhithe , which isn’t too far away has absolutely nothing.

Heavy snowfall now in Higham
-
I think you might cop a few more before midnight after a lull this afternoon
-
I think as the winds shift and start pushing showers inland there may be a period where some showers stall over a location which may lead to a slightly longer period of snow for a location overnight tonight.
-
Yep I’m seeing this change too on various different short and medium range radars. A definite change to a more easterly wind direction after lunch and through the afternoon. Whether or not locations get snow I think it will be very hit or miss. It’s quite amazing how localised the snow has been over Kent so far.
-
Yep, wind swirling around in Higham. Light snow showers.
-
Exactly. I’m pretty sure apps use raw model data from specific outputs which will mean they change all the time and are hit or miss.
-
IMO with this type of set up (isolated heavy snow showers passing over the region all day) you may as well ignore any forecast weather maps as they just can’t be accurate where precipitation may be. I hope the met office haven’t gone too big too early and are proved right but having my doubts.

New poster so go easy. Was definitely snowing heavily across the estuary near Tilbury a short while ago. Nothing Kent side at the moment near Cliffe. I think we will get something tonight but a little less optimistic looking at our forecasting products at work earlier. Fingers crossed though!
