That made me snort in laughter, a great way to sign off this winter.

I took a drive across East Kent this afternoon and was fortunate enough to intercept this particular snow shower at 14.30 after watching its development near Margate just before 2pm. It was the heaviest snow shower I have witnessed in many a year. 1.5cm of snow fell in 10 minutes with visibility briefly down to less than 50 yards. It was almost a cruel joke from the gods to tell me what I could have won.

A 40 hour window of this type of convective opportunity was reduced to a measly 6 hours eventually...gutted.

You can get good snow in Peacehaven . I Remember the white christmas of 1970. A Classic white christmas.

What are your thoughts on the rest of February??

Little bit of light snow here again. Must be at least 2 mm settled now

hi will hay . I know peacehaven does very well in snow cover. I remember the snow storm of 2008/9 . it miss peacehaven but Eastbourne got really cover ' my sister took photo of it when she was living there .  I think the south downs plays a big part of snow cover .  I remember 1987 snow ,I will never forget that one . 

well the rest of February  mm lets see I think it will be dry until towards the finally week  but staying cold until third week .then the Atlantic will break the high down . funny if this happens . 

87 Was brillant a good snow cover that lasted, proper drifting Snow, again an easterly set up.

Im with you On a dry settled February. Then a stormy March perhaps.

Do 90% of the forum members live in the south east, few snow showers in Kent and 6 pages in one day 

Was a cm here in the early hours most soon melted, and the odd remaining patch of snow left over from previous falls was destroyed by some rain showers later on  

Its going to be a raw day here today sunny sky but the temp at the moment is 3.5C and blowing a Gale F8 from the NE. The wind chill must be well below 0.

The last snow shower past through here at about 11pm last night and left a small "token" covering this melted over night.

However this morning it has re frozen in the wind chill and left a sheet of ice on my decking.

Looks like its going to remain well below average albeit dry here for a while, with the air keeping and Easterly element to it.

In all not a bad cold spell for my area really.

How did you cope when you ran out of fingers?

Anyway, my drive down to London & back yesterday was meteorologically uneventful.

Some very light snow was falling around Birmingham in the morning. The Chilterns were marginally white but, once you got close, cover was thin & patchy. Temp (according to the car) dropped from 4c, which it had been most of the journey down, to 2.5c near j6 of the M40.

On the drive back, some very light snow near Stoke (temp 3.5c). Back home, we'd had some drizzle and the temp had climbed to 5.5c (7pm'ish)

Temp IMBY was +2.8c at midnight. By 7am it had fallen to -3.1c. Shows what clearing skies can do!

Down to -1.5c. Yesterday and again Today... Not expecting those temperatures to stay that way after Tomorrow morning...

Another sprinkling of snow overnight accompanied a hard frost.

4 snowfalls now - none of which have given more than 2cm temporary accumulation and snow laying for apx 36 hours max.

It has felt cold on a few odd days

Nothing special for this part of the world but so much better than the last 2 years and we still have a good 10 weeks to see some more snow if the atmosphere changes.

Beautifully cold day.  Stunning crisp sunset. Gotta love this weather

A stunning afternoon.

Maximum temperature here was 4.2c but with dewpoints hovering around -2.5c everything is now dry.

Yesterdays light snow cover has been preserved in the shade over the higher ground meaning I have enjoyed a sparkling sunshine, alpine blue skies, a hint of winter and signs of early Spring. 

Weather for the soul. 

Bug*ered if I will want to be seeing snow in anything approaching  10 weeks time

Still  a few patches of snow in the shade across the downs  but almost  Spring like today out of the wind 

Now that the cold spell appears to be coming to an end (albeit slowly), I think we should all (as a nation) express our gratitude to P!ers *****. If he hadn't written to the Prime Minister on 23 January (http://www.***********.com/) with Weather Action's "Extreme" warning for February, I shudder to think how the nation would have coped with the sprinklings of snow and a terrible weather type called "frost", which are both seemingly "extreme" winter weather. phenomena. Looking back, it really puts December 2010, January 1987 etc into perspective - I thought they were harsh and severe spells, but the last couple of weeks have clearly been in a different category altogether.

We are, according to P!ers, in "the new mini Ice-Age", so we should brace ourselves! I have cleared my local supermarket of salt, de-icer and bottled water in preparation. I'm surprised that a national newspaper hasn't picked up his forecasts and presented them in a calm, balanced way for the benefit of the nation...
