East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[Tn9]

More heavy snow to come here from Maidstone way, going to be over 10cm by the time this lot clears later. Chaos on the roads in the morning as this freezes in the early hours, for those who are brave enough to drive.

Chaos now,let alone the morning, A227 Shipbourne rd is lethal

Take it you got back from work to sunny Clacton okay ??

Yes thanks, left at midday because the first band was dissolving and the second was en route. Timed it perfectly!

Clacton was pretty much snowless when I arrived (compared to Brentwood etc) but now has plenty! Thinking of taking a snow day tomorrow....

Looking at the latest NAE run, I reckon the snow could be quite persistent Thursday for our areas.

Temp -4.4c

Yeah Saint. I think, as Kold said earlier, tomorrow looks good, definitely a nice top up there. I reckon max another 10cms somewhere in the SE.

We shall see...

Well, what a day of snow! No way I could get into work this morning and now have about 8/9 inches of lying snow, almost matching the depths of last February. Snow finally stopped about an hour ago after nearly 24 hours of continuous snowfall, although much of it was fairly light/moderate today with the odd heavier burst. Temperatures falling away now... Hope to see some more snow before this cold spell ends - yes I am greedy, but that's the way it is! :lol:

[Lazarus]

That's my thinking as well..

Have spent the day salting little old lady's paths in Stelling Minnis, Hawkinge, Etchinghill, Elham, Farthing Common. All the minor roads connecting these are passable with care in a 4x4 (and even then we slid backwards on a few hills!). Good covering everywhere! Good enough to sledge (well, wheelie bin lid) anywhere there's a slope. Best slope was Telly Tubby Hill outside the school in Hawkinge.... Wheeee!

Coming home from work, half way down towards Folkestone from Hawkinge, the snow suddenly disappeared. Nothing at all here in town! Everywhere looks so drab!

Funny 'kink' in this front. The back edge over NW Kent & W Sussex is aligned SW-NE, but the back edge over the N Sea is more WSW-ENE - more snow on the way then travelling southwestwards along this front?

[Barometric]

Snow still falling and temp dropped by around 0.5c in the last hour. Snow now blowing off roofs and cars and powdery to touch. At last, dry snow. Waited a few years for that here. 4 inches now and it hasn't finished yet!!

Can anyone give me a rough guess on snow for London City Airport in the next 24 hours? Thanks

[Snowy Bob]

Light Snow down here in Folkestone. Is this it?

[Neilsouth]

Light Snow down here in Folkestone. Is this it?

No thats what i thought aswell , it starts coming down as heavy snizzle then it dumps it on you! :lol:

[Updraft]

Snowing very lightly in Dover... looking at the radar the main stuff is still a few miles away so this must be the cloud ahead of it giving us a little?

Do you think this could get as far as MK then ? I didn't think we were due anymore untill Friday at the earliest !

[Snow Queen one]

Maidstone Weather do you think this kink could give us some more snow we already have 9cms here the 17 year old son and 20 year old daughter have digressed to children and have messed up my lovely white garden. lol i could do with some more to smooth it out again. lol

[Neilsouth]

lol not sure. The snow I keep getting tracks southwestwards from Faversham area. You are further north than me so you need to look at the Sittingbourne area and see how that moves.

If shes travelling in Cambridgeshire and this part of EA then you should warn her about the possible risk of snow
