I'm in Stansted, Essex. How might we do on the snow front. We've got a bit of elevation here. I'm commuting by car down M11 to East London tomorrow morning.

Morning from the Costa Del Folky.

I jest, but I do wonder whether we're going to be as affected down here in South Kent as some of our northern and western cousins?

Looking at the charts for tonight thru to Wednesday - seems to me that its going to be a bun fight to see any significant accumulations south-east of say Ashford and Canterbury.

Agree. 

Any opinion @Steve Murr

Afternoon all.

Well the time is finally here, when the neighbours walk by and see you staring gormlessly at the sky or lampost.

To be honest i think we all stand a good chance of seeing snow in the region at some point, especially after viewing the GFS precip charts yesterday showing nothing getting inland over Northern Germany and yet there were 2 nice shower trains sending snow well inland.

Don't forget to keep watching how the North Sea on Sat 24 this can be a great tool for watching snow showers as the radar does'nt go that far East, you can see now showers already heading the right direction, all eyes down to see what that curve of moisture does when it heads towards land.

Good luck to all:cold::good:

The below has been added to the warning for Tuesday into Wednesday on the Meto site so looks like we will be seeing some amber warnings soon if not today then definitely tomorrow..

Separate Amber warnings are being issued to cover those areas which currently look most likely to see impacts

I’m seriously starting to think Medway could see a decent layer overnight now. I think we will wake up to at least an inch.

Latest warnings from the MO suggest there could even be a couple of cms overnight tonight in coastal areas but the main action will still be later tomorrow and through Tuesday. Looks like it will all be showers (EA and SE won't get hit by the more persistent band which move NE-SW across areas further to the North) so perhaps a bit hit and miss but I'm sure we will see streamers setting up in places.

Appears that the showers will start dying out on Wednesday pm as the winds swing more the SE and Thursday looks dry but bitterly cold.

Then the huge question mark over Friday; currently suggests a period of snow maybe turning to sleet and rain later but this is really on a knife edge and won't be resolved for some days yet.

All far more interesting than the usual Atlantic dross we get most of the time!

Also is it true that powder snow produces more depths than our traditional wet snow or is that a myth?
