I thought we were a bit lucky lunchtime with 2cms out of nothing. Really threw it down. That then melted a bit in the sun. This evening we've had several heavy showers. Way heavier than anytime this spell. Must have 3-5cm this evening. The fact it's -3c everything is covered. Not sure about main roads though. If that's it for this snowy event them I'm satisfied thank you! Wish everyone could have this. So weird how localised it is.
-
Finally stopped in Maidstone. But looking at the radar I think I might get more. Probably got 2cm from this last hour and a half downpour!
-
Where are you then. I'm near Studios and it's throwing down! Must have had 2cm so far its that heavy
-
I apologise to those people who have very little snow or none at all. But wow!! That is insane! My car is covered again and my road. All the trees are being covered nicely as it's not getting blown off them! Nit sure 2018 snow was as heavy as this!! Isle of sheppey will be cut off if it's windy?
-
This is as heavy as Sunday. I cant believe it! Chris74 in Sheerness says it's really coming down there so we must be getting that in next half hour. Can it be heavier....? Massive flakes!
-
Well I feel very lucky. It really hasn't stopped for last 2 hours. Must have 2-3cm at least. Still very windy. Not sure I'd like to be up the top of Detling, Bluebell or Boxley hills. Hope most people on here can experience some of what l have.
-
I'm fairly near Detling so I think it comes over the downs and dumps on both us me first then you. Sheppey is getting pasted so we're get what they had half hour later. Looks like we're right in the firing line looking at the satellite. It just keeps on coming! Yes we had 20cm in 2018 as well. We might get near it if this continues for next 12 hours. Which it could!
-
Really starting to get heavy here. With the wind it's blowing about. I can see it starting to pile up against the window. Maybe just under a cm. Which is pretty rubbish but the fact it was wet at 8 this morning it's amazing!
-
Definitely have a covering now. Like others said not much on the roads but it's trying. Certainly not heavy snow all the time but occasional heavier bursts. Very windy still.
-
That's amazing to be on the coast and be that below freezing. In Maidstone I'm only just below 0°C.
-
Just starting to get a bit heavier in Maidstone. Things turning white. We have been on the edge of the heavier stuff all morning but a definite move west in last couple of hours.
-
Fairly heavy in Maidstone now things getting covered. Pretty big flakes now
-
Having the heaviest snow of today in Maidstone. 15 mins of this and it'll be twice as much as already fallen with that fine stuff. The last hurrah? Just getting dark so won't be able to see it soon with no street lights.
-
After an hour of tiny flakes we've just had a burst of heavier stuff for 5 minutes. Have barely 1cm covered all the frozen rain. Not much more to come. Bring on spring!
-
1-2 out of 10 here in Maidstone. Thank god that rain has stopped. Not sure wind is as bad as it was. Cars being covered now.
-
Just seen a few flakes and I'm near jct 7 M20. All falling on a thick sheet of ice.
-
Wow! I live near Bearsted. It wasn't near there though was it? We had a bit this morning but nothing that would give a drift like that. Unless you were on the downs?
-
I'm old enough to remember that. I was commuting to London from Gravesend. A nightmare! I would say this cold spell has lower daytime temperatures. I'm sitting in my car in Maidstone area and it is -3.5c. Amazing!
-
How does that compare to last night l wonder. Certainly lots of activity out there. Should intensify a fair bit by the time it hits our coast?
-
Fairly heavy shower in Maidstone. Small flakes but wind has picked up compared to this morning. Radar shows I'm in the right place again. Had almost 8" 20cm in the end today. All shrunk a bit when sun came out.
-
Try to take some later. In bed again. Have u snow yet? Light stuff here heavy shower nearby but may missh?
-
That is slow. It does look like it's heading right for you. I hope it gets you. A reward for your patience.
-
That massive snow blob getting real close. It seems to be coming your way.
