Hi Bunny Girl - good to see you on here again. Have you been hiding so far this winter?
This is what I posted earlier:
Posted Today, 14:24
No snow here yet, but I am happy as I had a delivery this morning...a brand new Nikon D3200 SLR camera with an 18-15mm lens! I won it recently in the Thailand Throught the Lens photo competition (http://uk.blog.touri...e-lens-winners/).
Just need the snow to practice taking pictures on it, ready for the trip to Thailand next month that I also won.
As I said, I need to get out and about to take some pictures with it. Fingers crossed we get some real snow here in South Essex from the fabled Thames Streamer or Sunday's predicted front.
Very nice too Blackie - you had best make the best of snow then, as you won't get that in Thailand - but I do look forward to seeing the resulting pictures.
Not been hiding so much as sheltering; not from the weather but from broken boilers and showers and dishwashers.
Can anyone tell me if I am going to be able to drive to Sydenham for work on Monday morning from Gravesend? The right answer would be no...
-
Same here in Shoebury. Thank god, after waiting all day it finally arrived about an hour ago. Too late to try out my new camera on but, hopefully more over the weekend so I can get snapping.
Slight dusting in Gravesend across the water today too, but don't suppose your new camera will reach this far - what did you get?
-
Always worth a try, but you'll have to get someone else to blag the conditions because I don't think anything has laid in the SE today
Thanks all, as I thought, but worth a shot after a late night out and looking for an excuse!
My colleague in Tunbridge Wells is working from home today because of the threat of snow, but I couldn't get away with that. We now have light drizzle and very grey skies and just not cold enough. -
At work in Sydenham, and wondering about prospects of snow in this area later in terms of getting back to Gravesend... In other words, will I have an excuse for leaving early??!!
-
Well, it was a real bummer in Gravesend tonight - stood at my back door earlier feeling the snow on me, and then it petered out... Oh well... maybe tomorrow as xcweather is suggesting Gravesend will get some in the early hours.
Just have to get my kids back from Canterbury somehow now...
-
If you dont get that 6- then I have 8 up here
S
Methinks there may be a few people with slightly dirty minds on here - and all because I don't work in metric! And btw, not a sniff of any snow here tonight so far....
-
erm...,,,
Oops
-
It probably won't be clear until this time tomorrow. From my point of view I can't really complain, still got 3.5 inches from Tuesday night and Wednesday which is more than a lot of London got!
More than I got in Gravesend, so I would love to get at least six inches tomorrow. Will be a real bugger not to get some after east kent has had so much - fingers crossed at the ready!
-
I'm on thong lane and i don't seem to be experiencing that. and i can start to see lights again towards the river. i can't believe this.
Road and path covered here, but lighter flakes now - close to Valley Drive, but the other side of Thong Lane
-
We have light flakes!!!!!!!!
Starting to get a bit heavier now too YAY!
Ooh bigger flakes in DA12 now - all the way from DA11 obviously!
-
radar says overhead, lamppost says nope !!
My lampost now shows the lightest of flurries...
-
seems to be heading more for the gillingham maidstone area. Another miss from Gravesend. Nevermind
We might have to start a snow dance class in Gravesend then.
-
We may be a little too far west but it will be close.
Keep your fingers crossed!
I have been keeping an eye on my lampost but nothing yet - but that's at least 3 of us hoping in DA12!
-
Working from home today because of the icy roads - office is in Sydenham - and Gravesend is alternating between sunny skies and heavy snow flurries! Sent my youngest to school on the bus this morning and he called to say they are closing at 240 - 20 mins early!! Can anyone give an update please on the predictions for Friday/Saturday for this part, as I need to get my boys to Canterbury. Thank you!
-
That's better much heavier in Gravesend and bigger flakes too! :lol:
You beat me to it! Was just about to say, much heavier in the last half hour and really big flakes. With the wind blowing it across, it is settling on the small amount we had last night. Working from home tomorrow then!
-
You wouldn't have liked it at Sainsurys, Pepper Hill, quite a bit of panic buying today by pensioners.
That's very close to my youngest son's school, so he is hoping I won't be able to make it in the morning... Snow easing here in Gravesend now though, much lighter flakes, so that may be it for tonight
-
Still snowing heavily in Gravesend - methinks I should have gone to Sainsburys on the way home from work tonight...
-
SLEET!! Typical Gravesend always the warmest place in the UK!
Erm, I am also in Gravesend, and it is snowing heavily outside my window - large flakes and settling nicely!
-
Been a long time since I have been on the site, but have been lurking around the winter discussions and of course photography, and saw your post - well done on the award and good to see the pics on here. Love the storm chase ones of course, but particularly like the balloons in China, my favourite. Good luck with the mag too for 2010. All the best!
-
Good to see you all out there having fun - hope the weather cooperates with you and your boys' toys go find those storms!
Look forward to seeing more pictures and hearing more over the next few days.
-
Quite a surprise to wake up to snow here in Gravesend, we normally don't get it, as seem to have weather all of our own sometimes! Snowing heavily with large flakes, adding to the covering on the ground; it looks like it could well stick around for a while. On Thursday, I sat in the garden with my mum having lunch in 18 degrees of sunshine - what a weird, wonderful country we live in!
-
Went out on this glorious weekend to try and capture the sunset:
-
Couple of entries before it closes, both taken a few weeks ago out on the highest point round here:

Thanks for posting this, I will definitely make a note of the date, and set an alarm - mind you, might need to try and go to bed a little earlier first...
And I will look forward to seeing some more photos of the event on here if, fingers crossed, we get a nice clear night. Definitely not one for my little digital to even attempt!

Great pics btw Blackie - you deserved to win that prize. That poor little baby should have been wearing a hat though; might have to find mine for this weekend!
