Quite heavy snow shower here in Margate for a short time. Light
dusting on the ground. Colder than yesterday as we are getting a more
continental flow now. Temp at 1000 is -1.2 dew point -3.0

That's a bit nippy. I noticed that at 9am Langdon Bay was reporting
0.0C, with a mean wind speed of 32mph and gusts to 46mph!

Warmed up now. Temp at 1150 is up to +1.1 Dew point is -4 but the
wind has dropped a little from earlier. In fact I might just go down
to the beach and see if I can find a spare deckchair to soak up any
sunshine!

Anyone locally (or MetO) know why Kent now has a "Flash warning"
whereas Medway, which is surrounded by Kent on 3 sides, only has an
"Advisory"? There doesn't seem to be any reason why this should be so,
to me, when areas on the estuary on either side of Medway have a
different level of warning.

I think it's because the Flash Warning rally applies only to east Kent,
but the warning system doesn't have any provision for splitting the map
down any smaller than local authority areas.

Coming down quite heavily now in Ramsgate. Wind is strengthening (35 km/h)
and it's blowing round lots. About 2.5 inches here 100m from the seafront.
