Snowing lightly here. That run of showers has finally moved West of the Rover Medway.

Brighton close by could well be in the firing line here !!

yes @Steve Murr, 3 hour radar says that it will hit Brighton around 23:00. But it should be faster than that I think.

The 3 hour radar here looks promising for SE London / N Kent (who are currently missing out on the Mid-Kent bonanza!)

I wouldn't say North Kent currently missing out as here on sheppey we have had another inch in the last hour and hopefully more to come lol.

I should have said NW Kent (although I know Tonbridge etc are currently under a shower). Maybe it's just my little locale that's mssing out then!

[Flash bang flash bang etc]

It’s all dying off on the approach to dorking.

TBh it’s probably all going to die off before it reaches us - there’s definately no chance of us getting more than a gentle flurry here over the course of the night - and I can say that with no fear of getting egg on my face tomorrow!

I will be utterly devastated if we get nothing at all from this week. It’s the first chance of decent snow for years, and quite possibly the last chance for years to come too.

We really do live in a terrible part of the world for any remotely extreme weather ?

Just want a straightforward and decent snow shower!!! ???

[Daenerys]

We may not have snow, but we have pathways that resemble the Curling lanes in the Winter Olympics. Take that. 

(Can someone in Kent do a little snow dance and send it on its merry way towards Surrey? We don’t want much, honest. . . ?)

Just picked this up. Seeing as you posted it an hour ago, I’m guessing we didn’t! ?

We got hammered here in both 2009 and 2010. An ENE is perfect for us and still has a 60 mile sea track. 

Friday is largely pointless given it will be puddles by Saturday. 

The wind is due to move more E’ly tomorrow, won’t that bring in more showers for London? I have barely a cm of snow here, would like to see more, even if it is on Friday. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Flow is Deffo changing now, slow steps but the showers are coming round, be nice to see more break out

This is from a private weather station a mile down the road from here.

[Snowpuff]

The pressure and temp is still due to drop considerably( thus increasing convection) plus a change of wind direction, all to play for, those not seeing much right now! 

[jright35]

What are thoughts for our region Thurs/Friday?? Snow/rain? Amounts?

[Karmamel]

Looks more like hail in whitstable

The drop in surface temps will not encourage convection our only hope is the convergence line 

[Snowy Bob]

More light snow falling now. Wanting some heavier stuff.
