The only time I remember seeing deep accumulation of snow in Deal. The roads were filled, the hedges and fences were drifts. Being coastal and low-lying we rarely do well from any other kind of set up.

I remember when I parked my car next to the Royal in Deal and went on holiday. Next thing I knew Deal was on the news as a huge storm had hit, snow, high winds, the lot! The sea came over and trashed said car, it was phenomenal, wrecked The Royal forefront and they had to start the renovation again. Must have been in the nineties when I lived there. Happy days! 

 

Right, so (lie to me if you have too) is it possible we may get some more snow in East Kent?

Light snow in Dover now.

Meteo group or something - haven’t seen a correct bbc forecast for ages

They always overcook the temps.

That bit in Belgium is it something to worry about for here?

As a child, I remember having quite deep, laying snow about 3-4 miles inland from Deal a few times - enough for the schools to close. This was in the 80's though!

I live about 3 miles inland from deal, in the late 70s early 80s it was like an easterly nailed on every year, roads blocked with drifts, always off school for a few weeks

Which bit?

[HighPressure]

The snow doesn't seem to want to stop here in Sevenoaks, its been constant for the last few hours, and that blob over the estuary looks ominous??

Blimey!  We just give them jobs to do otherwise the agency that sends them get upset.

So is Surrey due a Thames streamer tonight? Or am I reading my things wrong @Steve Murr

Yes, getting pretty heavy here in Englefield Green! Bigger flakes, fabulous stuff. And temperature dropped from 0C to -1C.

Has much settled?

[Dorset_mist]

Moderate snow now falling in Brookwood, NW Surrey 

[rubble79]

Would be awesome to get an actual streamer this evening. I have no skill to read charts or faxes so no idea if it’s likely but that would be the prefect end to a bizarre few weeks of weather for us all.

SE Essex blob is expanding and intensifiying. Heading west

Staring out the window towards the East, I see there is a bank of cloud approaching but a great big patch of clear blue sky coming first, I have not seen that all day. Took the washing in, nicely freeze dried and stiff.

So basically when it thaws it will be wet again lol

Actually it’s into France more now - it’s a small intense line but it’s moving too West I think

[nick sussex]

Yes another BBC MeteoGroup fail! 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

easily an extra CM here now

[stainesbloke]

Absolutely hammering it down now!
