While I will keep a little hope the MET seem to have nailed this nearly spot on so far.

What are you viewing from the Met Office then? They seem to still have us for tomorrow 10am till 3pm and then late Friday Night

Heavy snow shower here, a bone chilling -2C at lunchtime! Pretty decent cold spell for the end of February.

METO seem to think that's our lot for Kent and Medway.

The warnings have all been pulled with the exception of a yellow ice warning (not a shock with this much snow to melt and -4 temps!)

BBC are still saying Medway will get heavy snow from 1pm, nobody else agrees!

Been a really nice event though, first snow day in many years.

Yes,

I think that's it now, for us south of the Thames. As Paul S., said earlier, flow now seems to be from the ESE, should eventually get round to SE, which unfortunately, will kill convection, for the great majority of us. Very dry, bitterly cold flow, coming up at us, from NE France/Belgium.

Attention turns to tomorrow/Fri, now. Let's hope we all see some more snow, in the next 48 hours or so.

Regards,

Tom.

I'm looking on the map, we are definitely only under on one day now.

Ah yeah, you have to check the blobs on the map itself, if it touches the far west corner of the south east it shows us in the text, the warning actually is nowhere near though.

For Kent our only active warnings are now Friday, snow yellow and Sat, Ice yellow.

Edit - Of course I say this and go back to forecast as there are now a couple of dozen snow symbols spread out for the next few days...!

Southend snow machine has shut down for the winter now :sorry:

Absolute scenes the last couple of days, so no complaints. :D

Perhaps a little top up Thur/Fri but that is looking like a glance rather than a blow before we slowly return to normal over the weekend and wave goodbye to winter for this year.

Weather quote of the year or ever, which i overheard in a shop today with the temp outside at  -1C:

A shopper said the the till person: "It's too cold to snow"

Werll I just had to intervene to say, "No, It can snow at -18C. It snows in the antarctic, arctic and siberia, which are much colder than us."

"Oh" was her stunned surprise.  Did she ever wonder why extremely cold areas are snow covered?!!!
