I see that the met office have downgraded their warning for the southeast

the whole of England below the Wash. * Looking at the radar their prediction
of mayhem for the south east corner seems to be a non event.


From here in Ashford, Kent, I can very much confirm that it was a non-
event. Not particularly surpeised by this either - I was looking at an
array of different radar charts through the evening last night &
wondering just where the met office were expecting the heavy snow to
appear from. I am no weather expert, and would never pretend to be,
but if I can look at these radar that are available & make a judgement
that yet another warning is incorrect it makes you wonder which radar
etc they use ? It can't be their own one ...... lol
Yesterday we had heavy snow all morning on/off but mainly on. No
warning issued until 13.27 ...........
A thaw is going on now, with yesterday's accumulations reducing by 4cm
overnight. Currently +0.8deg with a dewpoint of -0.3deg
