I don’t mean to moan but I can’t help feeling frustrated but all the last min chopping and changes after the event already being watered down for us further west. 

Probably my fault though.

i brought 2 sledges for my children on Thursday which I paid express delivery for costing £31 to ensured they arrived by Monday so I may well have added to the jinxes and tempted fate there! And secondly I made the mistake of telling people. I should have known better!  So sorry from me

A question now I’d i may.... Can anyone tell me why the radar says my location has been under precipitation for hours yet nothing’s falling?? Thanks 

Your using the wromg radar, its not getting to us. I can see a stramer setting up around seaford area though...they always seem to be in the sweet spot there.

 

Im giving up on this, total non event AGAIN

I’m going to be so disappointed like you been excited for this for last week surely we can’t fail to at least see some falling snow in next 24 hours, but up and down all night hopefully checking 

I feel your pain Bev but I'm sure we'll see a few flakes later today

Well, well, well. 

Last night I was called a troll, a doom-monger, overly negative etc, because I suggested this might not be that great after all...I was simply saying what I could see. 

I hate that I was right...honestly. My kids are going to be gutted...

The same here. I'm not so angry about missing out. It's more about the dung I got last night for suggesting this might not happen!

Well, that was disappointing.  Still 3 degrees and wet......

Radar looking increasingly juicy for mid-eastern Kent.

Problem is a lot of that snow, away from elevation, is rain or sleet.

The northern extent gap is filling....

As expected... Im hoping this helps areas further west out.. 

 

DP 0.9C Temp 2.9c 

Should be conductive for snow within the next hour or so with the rate of drop my weather station is showing

Can see why they put an amber for this section of Kent.

Wind is truly blowing a huge gale.

[clark3r]

So what is happening across the region? Another non event?

Its a Kent Clipper plain and simple. Yes you can also call it the Mid Kent Streamer when winds are NE or NNE, no good to anyone unless your are east of Gravesend or west of Dover.

Hoping the guys down there enjoy it and get some cracking pics.

Just Essex and Suffolk now on the no snow list I think

You’re not looking at radar well enough. 

[etched Chaos]

We're a few hours in what is likely to be a 24-36hr event and some of you have already thrown in the towel even though snow could occur regardless of precip forecasts. Just be patient, as the cold comes in the snow will follow.

[jamesgold]

A little sleety I think in Bromley / looking at radar animations I’ve been on the edge of precipitation the whole time, maybe this intensification will help me

Exactly, mate. Its frustrating for everyone, I get it...but to be called names for simply pointing out what was likely isn't really on. 

Let's hope there's still time to claw something back today. 

[James Maidstone]

System filling in, pivoting and shifting west.  Temps dropping.   Give it time ladies and gents.

This area caught my attention, bit of convection?

[snowblizzard]

Updated BBC forecast Susan Powell

Still going for significant snowfalls across SE through Sunday

Streamers almost anywhere Monday although probably not in SE!

Don't worry everyone. If we all just stare at the radar Intensely the snow will come. Atleast that's what I've been told.

Hi Paul.

Why do you say Essex and Suffolk on the no snow list? Snowing in Suffolk and 0.6C now (down from 1.0C at 5.30am). Radar also now starting to show some heavier precip appearing off the coast of Suffolk and Essex. Not still all to play for?

[Kentieo Weather]

Waisting a good few hours of snow here 

Temp still stuck at 2.4 but still confident of something.

[SHM040519]

DP finally now 0 in canterbury. Should hopefully start laying in next couple of hours as temp should carry on going down! 

[snowrye]

Got some heavier stuff here now, still nothing major, but hopefully going in the right direction

[MattStoke]

Absolutely classic. People writing off an event right at the start No patience! You only have to look at the radar to see it won’t be a non-event

I think no-snow ATM, but loads to come all day...

You wouldn't want them on the team would you

Im still waiting for the "bitter' temperatures... Think some furious turd polishing will be going on later though i'm more than happy to be proved wrong!
