I chose it! I love snow, and when we decided to move to Kent, I looked for height. 1 or 2c doesn't make a difference in the Summer, but can make all the difference in the Winter. In December 2010, we had a monster snowfall, when about 12 miles (as the crow flies) in Central London there was nothing.

Hoping for a small covering tonight.

I used to live in Halstead 15 years ago, now I live just outside Sevenoaks. You can see actually see the snowline when driving up Star Hill to Knockholt / Halstead. The extra 250 feet makes a huge snow difference in marginal situations.

A big shout out to the local council who haven't fixed the street lamp nearest my house making me strain my neck to the next lamp nearest to see a snowflake.  And I use the phrase "a snowflake" quite literally.

I've seen it. I drove around the M25 in Jan 2011, and the snow line was around 100m. You could see the transition up the hill, with the snow settling on the top of some trees, but not at the bottom. Whether it is global warming or just our warped views of winters past, I wanted to give myself the best chance of seeing some snow.

I wonder what effect the Thames Estuary will have on PPN strength.

I would hardly call Bury St Edmunds coastal! I'm over 15 miles east of Bury St Edmunds and it's been snowing here in the past hour. Now 0.5C and the next shower incoming.

Looks like the showers are going to fade a bit soon before picking up again after midnight. Anyone east of a line very roughly from Kings Lynn to Brighton I would say has a chance between now and tomorrow morning of seeing at least something.

Sorry my geography is poor in that region I must have got it confused with another location, well in 50-100 years time it may be getting towards coastal due to coastal erosion. 

I'm delighted that this thread is alive again :good:

Pathetic isn't it.  A small flurry of snow and we're all excited and staring out the window!

I suspect the snow line will be there tomorrow. I always notice it just before the corner at Star Hill.

About 8 /9 years ago, I drove back from Bromley and it was snowing heavily in Badgers mount / Halstead and quickly setting, but I when I got to the bottom of Polhill, it was just rain. No sign of snow at all.

That is so true. Used to live in Chelsfield/Orpington South and the difference between there and going up Rushmore Hill to Knockholt was immense. I tried to move up to Knockholt but the missus wouldn't have it and from a schooling perspective we ended up in Locksbottom which is only about 280ft asl as opposed to Knockholt which is 600ft+ asl. One day I will get up there to improve my snow chances!!
