Last night I went to sleep expecting absolutely nothing in the way of snow. So when I opened the curtains this morning, what did I find?

No snow at all of course, what else?

Looks like I can cross North-Easterlies off my list too. So basically if it isn't a direct Easterly there's nothing for me here.

Great to see others have got something though: enjoy! :)

Still snowing lightly here, looks like it will stop soon. 

On another note do I see a Kent streamer developing. A rash of showers pushing south west into the area.

I have to say I don't listen to Carol or any other forecaster when it comes to snow. I look out the window and jump for joy when we have snow snowing into kidbrooke

I don't know tbh.But realistically most normal people don't like snow much due to the inconvenience of it. So the forecasters are presenting to them, as if snow is the enemy....I think an impartial view is better, and let people make up their own minds whether it's good or bad for them, instead of being patronising...the youtube clip of Ian Mcaskill during the extreme snow of 1991 played it just right, even though as he said it the weather was "grim", as it was really.  ITV weather is not too bad. More impartial than BBC.

Nothing to report here again, yet to get any lying snow so far this cold spell. It has been pretty poor from all wind directions with NW, N and now NE failing to deliver over here in the east of the region. Seems like its been too marginal when we have precipitation and when the temps and dp's are ideal the showers all avoid here and it remains dry! You couldn't make it up!

Looks like getting HP parked over the UK next week so bring on the cold crisp weather that comes with it. Anything other than this! Little frustrating now!

ITV local weather says dry and sunny today. Surely that can't be right? Can't believe the difference in weather forecasts.

It is very annoying, isn't it? Shower after shower of rain and sleet on Sunday but now it's cold enough for snow, it's all going elsewhere!

Oh well. I think we used up all our luck down here a couple of weeks ago with our very localised couple of centimetres! Pleased to hear some others that have missed out so far have had some.

 

Appreciate that some are enjoying the here and now but from an IMBY perspective is the (brief) north easterly still on for the end of the week or is that now a bust?
