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

[CrimsonSunset]

BBC weather app is showing snow in Bermondsey constantly from 7am to 6pm tomorrow. LOL 

[Rob Deacon]

Surely Hayward's Heath isn't going to get back to back snow nights?

Must be long time since thats happened if i do get more tonight, looks possible looking at the radar

[Ellozee]

For those in East Kent (Sandwich, Deal, Dover, Folkestone etc) It looks like there are a few showers out in the channel that might find their way to us in an hour or two. Hit or miss and they don't have much intensity, but every little helps!

That last batch dropped south and west towards Horley and Gatwick.... The winds look to have changed a bit on the radar so the next batch might be better and the ones further out.....???

Oh no it didn’t! 

[Coopsy]

Been a great day for snow. A pic from the close today and one just recently tonight

Is this blob very slow moving because it was hammering m30 to white out but only just made it 2 miles west to our village

Ah, a lot of people I work with are down that way. They were confused about there being no snow in Dorksville. I tried to explain why but not sure it really stuck (a bit like today’s snow).

[snowrye]

All the showers seem to either to the south or north,even the one's that look primed for me end up veering off

[SHM040519]

Got nearly 5 inches in canterbury. Most has fallen in last 90 mins. Been a whiteout. Beautiful!

I don’t think tonight holds much promise but looking ahead to tomorrow evening/ thursday 12am onwards looking really rather good ?

Just hoping it doesn’t all change tomorrow ? 

If you put the animation on the radar and compare to the previos tracks, then big ones currently just off Clacton might just track over Surrey.....

Farnborough, just down the road from here, is now reporting -8c ?

Might need to get to the end of the pier to see it. Not sure it's got Southend in its sights..

Yep, looks like -9c now

[TheGate]

now down to -7.8c - coldest since 2010. No new snow flurries so suggests we are under clear skies. How low can we go? double digits?

Really???? The radar would suggest otherwise

[Sarah Anne]

Very cold on opening wi dow and snow is heavy but miniscle and frozen like little ants biting the skin

Funnily enough I've had the same conversation today with work colleagues.... Very frustrating

Very impressive! I’ve just seen Benson in south Oxfordshire is now down to -10c.
