Weather experts - are you thinking snow in the coming week ?

[intexasatthe moment]

Have been looking at forecasts .

Cold sweeping in from the east and Siberia .

Snow from Tuesday in SE ?

Armageddon on Friday .Or quite possibly not .

I'd be grateful for predictions .Supposed to be flying Luton to Belfast on Tuesday afternoon ,returning Thursday .

[lavender27]

Yes, tobogganing.

[Louisa]

London will potentially get a few cm?s tomorrow night and into Tuesday. It will feel very cold, but it really will need to snow heavily to settle for any period. My hunch is that the bigger potential for disruptive snow will come towards the end of the week, and will probably herald slightly milder conditions there on in.

Very cold for late February in London - yes. The coldest weather for decades? No.

Snow - probably yes. Extreme snowmageddon - no.

Thanks Louisa ,that chimes with my thoughts .

I'm panic buying milk and essentials #treacherous

[malumbu]

Met office are the best in the world

Daily Express and other tabloids buy their forecasts from the cheapest service and tend to be alarmist.

I'll be cycling in all week as per usual, and sadly I doubt if it will be sledging weather, but I'll have an extra layer.

I expect airports will be well prepared.

Biggest issue I ever had was with (a) fog a year ago all airports disrupted (b) getting to Luton airport on a snowy day as Thameslink was down, but not due to the weather (you couldn't make that one up!)

We could wake up on Tuesday morning to an Icing of Snow.

Trains in South East London will come to a complete stand still.

Gritters will be left abandoned in the streets as their oil freezes and their batteries run down.

There will be major food shortages as delivery lorries are caught in 5 mile back logs.

The Thames will freeze over at Richmond Bridge.

Thousands of Birds will perish unable to find Food.

The rest of the day is expected to turn warmer with Bright Sunshine with a light Southernly breeze.

Amber warning for Tuesday 2am to midday .

We've had snow at Easter before. It is still winter, people.

[JohnL]

No trains - goods train broke down between Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill, People panic shopping apparently.

Tonight it's -24 in Moscow, -12 in Berlin and they're usually OK.

[Louisa]

It feels cold but it?s easily above freezing out there, and the sun is shining. If people are panic buying when it?s like this, they need to take a long hard look in the mirror and re-evaluate their life.

Yes- I came across a childhood diary and on 5th April 1963 I wrote 'it is snowing just as the Americans said it would'. I was in London at the time. That was, of course, the end of the worst winter of my lifetime- so far.

[JohnL]

And the Daily Mail is off - in full panic mode.

We must be home by 6 PM - I'm staying out then

[nxjen]

Those pictures showing snow in London are just so embarrassing: call that snow?

[Angelina]

8 inches?

[malumbu]

That what all men say, not even 8cm

(why does an elephant have four feet?)

[Angelina]

I thought it might be a misprint. Easy to muddle up cm and inches.....!

[Louisa]

Looks as though we may get some snow overnight. Amber warning for parts of London, Kent and Essex has been issued. Watch this space.

Louisa.

[dbboy]

Currentlu a mixture of blue / grey sky with white cloud, you'll know when its going to snow, the sky becomes totally white and you can no longer see canary wharf and most of east London.

[DulwichFox]

According to The Weather Channel App.

No snow is forecast overnight for London with a 40% chance of Snow 09.00 - 14.00

Looking out the window won?t be able to tell you what?s coming in a few hours time. If you look out the window now it?s dry, partly cloudy and above freezing. A few miles down the road in Sevenoaks it?s two below freezing and snowing.
