for anyone worrying and looking at the radar thinking this is not going to happen, as @Steve Murr has pointed out, the convergence doesnt happen til around 9, the main event is due to start around midnight and the amber warning is from 2am until 12 tomorrow.

 

I’m happy already with the cm I’ve got. Great starter. The main meal should be awesome based on this ?❄️?

[James1975P]

Nice little covering in Sittingbourne been snowing for a while now hopefuly everyone will get some once the main event starts later

Sferic off Kent - thundersnow.

[kate1]

Gosh. It hasn't been snowing for very long in Tunbridge Wells but because it is so powdery and everywhere is so cold and dry it is settling on everything. If this goes on - and this is the 'light snow' phase the MetO forecast at this point - we will definitely have at least 4-5cms by morning.

[Flaked Queen]

That’s from this afternoon... hopefully tonight I might see more ... anyway best of luck all and hope to see lots of lovely snowy pics this week x

[Lazarus42]

Just a dusting in Lyminge, currently -3C. But it's the snow type! Ok, I spent up until the turn of the century in Torbay so wasn't really conducive for snow but I've never seen snow like this before! It just puffs away if you blow it, looks artificial almost, out of a can.

I guess this is powder snow but in all my 50 odd years it's a first for me!

Lot's of concern it seems because what was forecast to happen has happened...

• Has it got cold enough that any PPN falls as snow....tick
• Are we seeing lumps of snow rather than frontal snow..tick 
• Is most of the PPN lasting across all counties already...unexpected tick

This means some areas will get lots, some won't. No apps can pick it up because they are so small it's effectively random. However the more there are the more chance we all get some over time. Just need patience. 

 

Have you thought about changing your name to ticktabs only joking. I reallyhope you guy's get some snow  5years without snow that's  pretty grim

Love you yamkin , you just made me smile lol 

[The Whiteman]

Really heavy in Maidstone. A good cm at least!

That awkward moment when you realise that all the time you've been looking at the lampost you've actually been staring right into someone's front room - into people's faces -  and only just realised, and you have to act out a whole scenario, pretending you're waiting for someone to arrive at your ouse so they don't think you're some weirdo ...I mean we've all been there I'm sure

I know this is such a repetitive question but  I feel left out everyone all of a sudden seems to be getting snow. 

Im on the SE coast in Rye  what are my chances???????? There said it

[TROY]

Think the snow showers will fade, they are getting lighter. The air is so dry. the light dusting will evaporate by morning. Bar still High 1020. Temp here in Seaford -2c.

Good Health. Take care on the roads.

[Htid]

Lampost watching in Eastbourne.

No snow to report yet.

I do wonder what the neighbours think when I'm constantly opening and closing the curtains

So 730 update ***

Temps across the region perfect as well as the increased humidity & dewpoints -

currently -2.1c @19:30. 

The allignment of the current PPN overlays well on the 8pm convergence areas

Sheppy & medway is a good starting point for the bullseye - which is your typical mod kent streamer ( ** NOT THAMES ** )

Run the streamlines for 00z Tues

Shows the convergence there with more emphasis on WWSW flow as opposed to SW

So those on the western perisphery inc suffolk & SE essex may look to see a subtle move in wind direction & shower train activity along the thames -

Those wishing for a more traditional thames streamer window have got to wait until around 9am tomorrow as we get that propulsion west of the flow lines -

09:00z

Have a good eve...

Blimey leave the radar for half an hour to prepare dinner and when I come back it has sparked into life to my NE. Hopefully the showers won't fizzle out before they arrive!
