I've been watching the radar with some frustration this morning. Where I live (Cranleigh, Surrey) has been right on or just outside the edge of the region of precipitation, which hardly seems to have moved, and the air has been damp but with nothing visibly falling. -- John Hall "The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

It's now been snowing for almost three hours, with the temperature having fallen to just 0.2C. The largest snowflakes I've seen since at least 1997 are plastering everything, with an inch on the roads and an inch and a half on the grass. http://tinypic.com/1zisrl (WR refers to Leysdown, north Kent, 10m ASL) Stayed at a constant 0.8°C here with only light (but persistent) snow, small flakes. Barely 1cm on grass and nothing on roads and paths. Just about to venture up to the University to teach - the 60m height gain might make all the difference! -- Jonathan Stott Canterbury Weather: http://www.canterburyweather.co.uk/ |

When we got home (Elmsted/Stelling Minnis, Kent North Downs 155m ASL) after
a couple of days away last night it was raining very heavily and the temperature was 2.5 degrees. There was still some snow lying from last week but most of it had finally melted (we had 3-6inches lying for the whole of last week - whenever the sun melted some some more would fall to replace it). When we woke this morning at about 7am there was a fresh inch of snow on the ground and more falling and the temperature just above freezing at 0.3degrees. We drove into Canterbury at about 10mph as there was no grit on the roads (presumably washed off by the earlier rain) and had to stop to help a motorcyclist who had skidded over. My husband has just managed to get into work in Maidstone but there are plenty of big flakes coming down on the university campus at the moment. I love snow but I'm getting a little concerned about getting home tonight... anyone like to issue a localised weather forecast as to whether the snow will turn back to rain in the Maidstone/Canterbury/north downs areas this afternoon??
