It's no 2010! Now that was some snow....

 

But it's the best we'v had for a few years and I have a snow day, so no complaints. Except that it's too powdery to build a snowman. 

Must be in a sweet spot here in Sittingbourne have so much more than in 2010

[SF-02]

Another 24 hours until wind changes to more easterly? Much the same as said yesterday for today. Snow not delivering for most places

[LiahUK]

6.5 cm here, but still snowing hard.

[tomp456]

BIG flakes falling now.

Sun is out though so won't last long. 

Edit: Looked at radar, on the edge of a streamer. Might stick around for a bit, 

Woo.

About to go over the Thames on my train. I’ll make sure I flick the streamer switch as I do. Clearly it has to be down to me  

[SLEETY]

Nice 

[Hellboy]

Hoping the precip just off the coast of Suffolk/Essex holds as that could have my name on it (Wainscott, Medway). 

Seem to be on the very edge of the mid Kent streamer, odd light showers with the occasional moderate burst. 

[stubbys]

 

Not much admittedly, could just about sledge, good snowballing though. Hoping for more overnight and tomorrow morning. Surprisingly bbc (crappy) app is showing good snow for thanet tomorrow.

So far this is definitely not an 'historic nationwide event' that many people had been going on about last week. Still a few days left though, let's see 

[fluid dynamic]

good to see so many of you have snow

 

Nothing here in Motspur Park. Waiting for that easterly ....

[Snow Queen one]

Looks like convection dying off for a while now. Maybe it will pep up again later

[tomp456]

Heaviest snow we've had so far falling now.... 

Edit: Stopped again.

Hastings winter wonderland right to seafront.. jealous.

[Alpine glow]

Morning all.

Woke up to an inch or so in Brighton this morning.. yep.  Many schools are closed, my son's is not one of them, I made him go and only 9 people turned up in his class so I won't be winning any mum of the year rewards in his eyes.

Still snowing!  Albeit very light.  Looking on the radar, we are still in todays streamer.  How is it looking for today, is it just a case of seeing what pops up?  Is it due to die down? 

[Snowman.]

That red bit heading straight for me!

pretty embarrassing really

some folk on here look like real spanners...  

feel sorry for the ones that told it like it was but got shot down because they weren’t forecasting feet of snow.

yamkin’s tweeting of the bbc was laughable 

[The Whiteman]

I can not believe how much snow we are getting in Maidstone. Photo atached

[Lauren]

Absolutely chucking it down again!

[Keefo]

Heavy snow again now.

local kids loving it. LOads on way to park for the Winter Olympics. 

Temp -3.1C

I only just scraped in there..cor did come down though :-)  

Exactly, and look how it's hitting those areas a bit further south... T Wells down to Bewl getting pummeled... Always the same...

[CK1981]

Temperature rising rapidly now, despite the very cold start. The forecasts of maximums around 0c (away from areas with snow) will be proved wrong very quickly.

This beast has about as much bite as a kitten ?

[Wimbledon88]

Good to see beeb still going for something major at the end of the week.

They have been pretty spot on so far with this much over hyped spell of chilly weather.

Yes - just the same here - no ice on the windscreen under the snow. Although when you open the driver's door it all falls in on the seat 

[SLEETY]

Met office say showers in the channel coming inland later when the wind switches,very i unusal to see snow off the channel
