PLANET THANET

Hi everyone I see that on the latest chart posted on the model output forum that kent gets the snowfall apart from east kent (who switched the snowshield on ) it is still only friday so it may alter

so very sorry to hear of your tragic news, may your son rest in peace

you are so lucky, after this afternoons snowfall which stopped a few hours ago we have not had anymore

really going it now in ramsgate with big flakes

no fresh snow here, hopefully our turn tonight

the met outlook for us in ramsgate tonight is that we have forecast heavy snow from 6pm until 3am but.......bbc show us with the odd flake occasionally.... your guess is as good as mine !!

raining quite heavy here now

we are also getting fog here

The updated 1500 hrs met forecast for Thanet and Dover has us in the amber alert for sunday with heavy snow from 6am to 6pm and then has light snow for the rest of the evening !!

I worked on the railway for thirty nine years and yes , we can have the wrong type of snow. Basically the dry powdery stuff when it happens blows up under the trains and in to the traction motors shorting them out where as the type we usually have (the wet claggy type ) does stay on the ground more and not get blown around

we never learn , its a cardinal sin to tell someone snow is on the way !!!

in answer to paul and you, I would be glad if there was only 2cm on the ground (enough to say it snowed) but the weather will do what it will do and no amount of wishing will make it happen

well that puts us in thanet into marginality, but bbc and meto for ramsgate show light snow all day on sunday

further to my last post re met office forecasting rain for us in thanet, I have just ventured onto the mad thread and apparently there is an iberian low which could just be too close and giving us marginal conditions typical !!

amazing all this talk of snow for the east coast at the weekend and yet the met office have us in down for rain in thanet even with them showing a north/easterly wind, oh well at least I can enjoy the photos of you lucky people that get some snow.....good luck peeps

stopped snowing now, hopefully we may get some more , still I have seen snow falling even though it was avery small amount

we now have some flakes of snow hurrah

all we could manage was a few spots of rain

ah well. looking at it from a glass half full perspective....at least we wont have to watch it slowly melt away !!!

I see others are finding the same as myself, at 1127am according to the met office we were going to get quite a lot of snow on sunday and now at 1500hrs the met office have us dry with cloud what has happened ??

very pleased for you, hoping it is our turn tomorrow but unfortunately we are near to the coast....fingers crossed !!

The Met Office outlook looks a bit grim for the next few weeks for us in the south with atlantic fronts coming through with rain and periods of slightly milder temps with northern and central areas having wintry hazards with a risk of snowfall on the boundary wherever that will be and into feb a period of above slightly above average temps and above average rainfall for the south although they do say that there is a greater then average chance of cold spells spreading across the whole country, Although it is a disappointment things seem to be changing at a fast rate of knots so my glass remains half full.

I agree, we even had a very slight covering in thanet !!

stay in here with us , it is more friendly

hi there just thought I would repost this link that a person posted earlier and I have gone on it and just had a snow fix !!!! Webcams – Settle and Carlisle Railway Trust SETTLECARLISLETRUST.ORG.UK
