Snow update

A quick update on this evening's developments regarding snow.

The best way to track snowfall for the coming evening and overnight would be by Radar.  A number of radar's are freely available such as the Met-Office, but as it is more East and North we need to look, I use Meteox to give me a rough idea of what is happening.

Looking at Meteox there currently is some echo colour appearing over Essex (Southend-On-Sea) and pushing across into the Isle of Grain currently and UK Met-Office radar shows very similar. Running the loop we see all the precip is moving in from the North-East.

From roughly Lowestoft to Felixstowe in a SW-ly direction we can expect to look for what is to come. 

Meteox is also showing the precipitation in the North Sea is arriving in 2 parts, a broad line of precip on its Northern edge, and a general mass of echo to the central section. I Believe it is that central section that should affect Kent and is raising the cause of concern.

This website, http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ is freely showing precip-type rainfall. If this is anything to go by, alot of North Kent is going to see very heavy snow by 9pm
