A serious streamer has developed and although 5 cms has already been laid down here since 3pm, more is quite possible that more will be added.
fax chart for 18z shows a convergence zone that means business. Chucking out snow at a rate of 1cm per 10 minutes in the intense blobs

I guess you SE Kent chaps were well overdue but boy has this cold spell been frustrating for here!
Sunday was largely light stuff on to very wet ground so whilst snow fell for a long time it only gave 2-3cms and a lot of surfaces weren't covered as the precip wasn't enough to cool the ground sufficiently.
Monday had light snow which petered out maybe giving another cm or so before another 2cm or so of chiefly light stuff fell Monday night in to Tuesday morning.
Today had some brief moderate spells of snow in the showers but not for long enough to settle away from areas already covered in snow or frozen. Maybe a CM or so fell from around 12:30 to 14:30 and after that we had blue skies.
Maximum recorded depth on our decking was 6cm away from the fence where it piles up a bit, grass depth varied from very little where it was so wet it didn't really settle to 5-6cm in sheltered parts where the grass had survived better. The paths have had a max of 2cm on, which all melted yesterday and today.
Meanwhile Maidstone a short distance NE of me had a decent amount and your neck of the woods has done well too.
Just would have been nice to join in with some heavier stuff and get a decent cover - so nearly good but just not quite
