Hi - re: tomorrow --


The day will start rainy as per usual according to the met office, but, turn to heavy snow sometime between 12noon and 3pm...keep yourself updated on the morning weather at the met office site where you can enter your postcode, or, have a work from home day lest you get stuck with no train...

The met office just issued a 60% severe weather warning for london. rain to sleet, then to heavy snow. of course, it might just stay sleet or rain. hence the 60% chance.


the BBC gets its info from the met office...the met office provides a bit more detail and gives odds on it happening.

Oh no, that means my driving lesson will be cancelled AGAIN! It was cancelled Monday and today. Rebooked for Monday.

Luckily my scan can go ahead this afternoon since my stairs are clear and my midwife appointment is on Saturday morning, hopefully the sleet on Friday won't be too bad that I will have to cancel my saturday appointment.

This weather is great if you don't have to do anything but a bit of a pain if things are constantly cancelled and you have to get out and about. Beside it is does not look too pretty with slush and rain!

This snow event looks as though it could quite easily match or surpass sunday/monday's event. Peter Cockcroft (distinguished weather broadcaster) suggested than we could be in line for anything upto 8 inches even in central London the snow is likely to settle and that is despite the wet roads. If he says this, then I believe him. Come on Southwark where are your gritting lorries?

Sean, I would usually agree, but the setup for snow is sadly still extremely likely. Cold pool of air over the UK, raw ENE winds and moist Atlantic air approaching. He may well have just been trying to play safe, but the Met Office have issued an amber warning for London and the South East, and they did the same sunday night and were pretty much accurate.

Risk of disruption Warning : - Heavy Snow Valid from 0200 Fri 6 Valid to 1500 Fri 6

60% East of England

60% South West England

60% London & South East England

Heavy Snow

There is a high risk of a severe weather event affecting parts of southern and eastern England on Friday. Periods of snow will be heavy at times and will give accumulations of 5 to 10 cm over large areas and locally 15 to 20 cm over high ground. This is likely to cause disruption to travel.


Issued at: 1141 Thu 5 Feb

It might look fairly harmless - rainy and sleety for a while during the day - getting in does not look like a problem


but when and if the temp drops sometime between 12noon and 3pm it might bucket snow down heavily just in time for your journey home....

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
