Kent, Home counties and south London general weather discussion 25/02/2018 onwards

[NKentWeatherWatcher]

The next six hours and next 36 hour models I’m looking at has snow pushing into the estuary sporadically through the afternoon and evening. Still think we have more snow to come.

still snowing in Higham.

[SF-02]

Nothing settled from the last 10 mins mild shower. Others that had some snow now melted in NW Kent and SE London.

Got to laugh.

Wow, a lot changed over London area since I left for work at 11.30am. Loads of snow showers spreading west of London, drove through several going across south London, down the A3 than round the M25 to Heathrow where I work. Love the 'snow curtains' marking the front of the showers before going in a visibility reducing.

Hopefully those who missed out in London are a little more happy now, though showers only giving a dusting for now.

Could we get a -10c tonight in the region. I think we could under clear sky and snow cover.

Still got no more than a couple of flakes floating through the air here...

Crazy snow shower just passed through where my Mum lives (Ashford, Middlesex). Covered surfaces in minutes, but then calmed down   24 hours of that and we’d be sorted!

Nothing special on the radar with no heavy stuff showing, just moderate intensity at best in Gravesend currently

[Mike Storm]

Best snow yet I bexleyheath ?

[bluebell]

Fantastic heavenly store houses laden with snow all desposited around here!

[snowrye]

The odd flake still falling,over 5hrs since I got up,and was snowing hard then,so no idea how long it has gone on for,great stuff,sun out a little bit,melting the snow,boo,waiting for some more hopefully later and overnight

[tomp456]

The sun is out, temp is -2.4, but certainly feels warmer than that. 

How can snow melt at such temperatures? It really is!

The temperature must have crept above freezing where you are? Otherwise it wouldn’t be melting.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

The atmosphere is juicy 

 

[Southender]

Still -0.8c in the shade in Southend. But that sun is really getting to work on the snow pack, drip, drip.

Roads will be lethal after dark with temperatures down to -7c or even lower in some spots.

[95 Degrees]

Mostly melted here too, bizarre considering the current temperature is still only 0.3C, but I imagine the high dewpoints and higher almost March sun is the reason why.
