I'm sure Steve (Gusty) or those who are local to me will add a bit more to it with their own thoughts.

Quite a bit of slushy snow on the North Downs in east Kent.  Anywhere above 150m will have a couple of cms.  Whitfield (120m) has about 1cm.  Snowline is around 100m.


While I was not surprised, the main threat for this part of the world is possibly later Thursday early Friday.  Whether the colder air makes it over us sufficiently in time on Thursday to catch the heavier of the showers remains to be seen and depending on which model you view the colder air arrives at very different times.  Much uncertainty remains.


Edit: JMA GME DWD would suggest snow accumulation.  GFS ECM GEM appear much less likely.  Take your pick

mixture of rain, sleet and snow - but a minute slushy covering - the first in a couple of years!!!  Mile up road out of village - just wet.

Grass is still largely snow covered here after the snow on Wednesday and Thursday, albeit the cover is now thinner.. Pavements mainly clear other than the odd patch

Superb amounts of precipitation all day down here in Guernsey but, typically, you get the orientation of the showers right and its not cold enough for anything to stick. Overnight low was only 0.5 and it was up to about 1.5 by 06.00. Dew points also marginal all day. Mainly, sleet, hail pellets and wet snow but no accumulations except a mm or two on higher ground first thing this morning. Thursday night / Friday morning is looking marginally colder but I would lay a bet now that the showers will favour Jersey more in a slightly more easterly orientation!

Sure have. We had two days over the weekend with heavy precipitation (rain/sleet/snow).  There was so much that two local rivers have burst their banks  (River Tas near Norwich & the river waveney on the Norfolk/Suffolk border). If it hadnt been on the wrong side of marginal over the weekend I cant imagine how much lying snow we would have had now.

The heavy showers we had about an hour ago have all but finished. The wind has picked up here now and raised the temps and started the drip drip thaw, man I hate that noise.


Not sure about Thursday night to me it looks a tad warmer, maybe I'm just being pessimistic.

A surprisingly snowy evening here with frequent sleet and snow showers (currently heavy rain/sleet though to add a little variety) that have left a recent 1cm slush cover here at 40 metres. The grass, roofs and cars have that light grey colour rather than anything white.


The Downs are obscured by poor visibility caused by snowfall. I can imagine at 130 metres locally it is a 3 to 4cm winter wonderland.


I'm loving the clearance, followed by the deep dark blue sky, followed by an anvil on the NE horizon that gradually fills the sky in and everything turns orange as another snow shower commences..love this sort of night..a couple of degrees colder would be the icing on the cake.

If you go by the meto Thursday now looks a nothing event for most of the SE...maybe the far SE will get lucky ...GFS keeps the hopes alive.

Likely to be marginal again but uppers are looking to be between -8/-9 for 24hrs (21.00 Thu to 21.00 Fri) as opposed to -6/-7 today with dew points circa -1 as opposed to 0/-1 today. Looks like our last chance from this spell so better make the most of it!

Light snow in Stevenage. Settling well.

Unfortunately E4 has squeezed most of the ppn Thurs night into Friday out of the flow and streamer chances have receded, along with the hopes from something decent from this spell for many.
Still, according to the crystal ball a brutal Northeasterly is on it's way for March.

Surprisingly icy on all surfaces even here at the coastal edge, even though the air temperature is at 1.5 C with 91% humidity. It also shows that the most lightest of snow flurry had fallen at some point in the night going by the splatter of snowflakes sitting on the wheelie bin.

As for tomorrow . . . I think it's going to have to be a wait & see thing as I continue to try and salvage something out of it.

As expected the NYM is chopping the legs off most of the showers coming in from the NE, but some light to moderate snow showers this morning.

Yes really heavy showers here again but it is rather wet now at +0.2C. Maybe 3 inches more this morning.

Covering - more of a dusting - of snow here this morning. 


Two mornings in a row with the prospect of a decent fall on Thursday, if GFS is correct.
