Last Frame not so great as it hits the land, I truly believe the lack of strong winds are scuppering us in this spell, -14c Uppers with 7c SST really should be having strong radar returns and what we are seeing over sea should be what we are seeing over land for a time

Hmm! GFS having a major shift south tonight....

I was expecting that given the met warnings. They expect it south. I also do, think every model is still underestimating the block.

As at 10.15 temp now dropped to -6.9 in Locksbottom under clear skies.If it stays clear can see a -8 coming up here,coldest night since 2010 here.Hope it doesn't though and some showers develop and give us a good covering.Radar looks promising but think it will be a good 2-3 hours if showers(providing they haven;t broken up) reach this part of NW Kent.At least i saw 3 heavy showers today that gave us an inch of snow.

We have approx 1cm of snow cover here in Coulsdon but it' helped the temperature plummet tonight. Currently -10.1c dp -9c . A few showers would be welcome though.

Yep. All momentum lost the moment it reaches the coast. There is no wind to speak off really at present.

Ten feet in Sandwich, zilch in Deal ? I think our chance might be later on this week, although the light flurries have been welcome.

Didn't get much here in SW London today,about 1cm but not that bothered.

Two things about this 'Hysteria from Siberia' spell.

Firstly,it ll stop the 'large teapot' brigade moaning that it does'nt snow or get cold anymore. 

Secondly,i just think there are more surprises for this neck of the woods even next week.I have always been if the opinion that even IF the Atlantic train were to start again and push weather systems across us it looks like there will be a pool of cold air to our noth anyway that will most likely be pulled south.We havent done to bad in situafions like that in the past few years,or indeed December just gone.

Fun times ahead.

Glad some of you are getting some much deserved snow. 

Enjoy ❄️❄️❄️❄️
