Nah it's wrong, Dover needs DP under two for that much snow.

[Kentspur]

Think my weather station is playing up its telling me its minus 1.2c after a high of 3.7c earlier around 3ish, either way I looked out the window and to my surprise we just had a wintry flurry looked like a sleet/snow mix at first I thought it was all snow but only very small flakes so hard to tell?  A surprise (light version) of a thames streamer tonight like Feb 09 and Nov 10?

You don't realise how much this has made my faffing day boys,, the amount of times iv recorded and stood bolo£& naked at the window blocking the light out just enough to still see the flakes (you know all you true snow freakes have done it)!!!!  Pure jokes what has our life came to lol

Nope lol, going by this streamer, don't worry I'm fully aware is a completely different synoptic, was just a joke.

[Jackski4]

Another day of cold rain here I’m afraid (Southend). DP is above 3 as is the temperature so not holding my breath for anything more exciting. Atleast the models look good going forward.

 

Off to bed, goodnight friends

I thought you had done some research 

[lottiekent]

Another 17.3mm of rain today...approaching 2 inches in the last 2 days now. And still 4.5c. Yuck

[Hotspur62]

Heavy rain here now in Locksbottom at 10.40.Temperature of 2.2 and has barely moved all day.(maximum of 2.7 at 1.30pm today).Strange when there has been only a 0.5 degree difference since 7am this morning when it was 2.2.

Safe to say it is going to stay cool/cold till Saturday here and if that is the case then that will probably be 16 days where we haven’t reached 5degrees here in Nw Kent which is a long stretch of below average temperatures.We did have the odd flake of snow mixed in with a lot of rain this morning but that has been it.

bonsoir people

[Tim Bland]

Sleety rain St Evenage 

[andy_leics22]

Just posted this in the Central Southern England thread. I'll repost it here too

No snow reports from the home counties? Looks like Luton and Bedfordshire are under that band. Should be cold enough there for wintryness in that

[StLuke]

What's that heading out of Belgium, not more rain I hope! 

[westHimalayanfoothills]

Just wanted to ask does anyone know whats the lowest 850's South east has seen in like last 50 years.

I believe its about -17/18 back in the period of the great 80's wish we could see that again now I'm old enough to appreciate it lol

Some of the High Res Models give some really hefty showers into the Thames Estuary around 01z-03z which looks to be forming just off the Suffolk Coast heading SW atm should finish off the flooded areas lol

At least we should be out of the rain train by lunchtime tomorrow.

Sorted my weather station out or so I think I have? 4.1c is that right? I thought it would be a little less than that considering our earlier flurry
