The Snow predicted for London tomorrow is now expected to be further South/East so Kent will get the brunt of it.


Still very unpredictable so who really knows ??


Used to get really excited about it snowing when I was a kid. from 5 till 55.. lol but not so keen these days.

I was at home yesterday and it was lovely looking at the weather - alternating sunshine and snow showers, the light, and the birds (I think we have some migratory large blackbirds and at the moment the wood pigeon is adept to knocking suet pellets out of the feeder).


Got bless our four distinct seasons and don't let Chris Evans (knobhead climate change sceptic) or Brussels take them away.

Actually there is a fair chance of a Maunder Minimum in a few years (2030) so it might appear colder but that doesn't mean climate change (warming) isn't happening - it's just masked until 2050 or so.

The snow is now settling on pavements and the road surface. Can no longer see Canary Wharf, it's been whited out. And as soon as it's started its stopped again with a bit of bluish cloudy sky replacing the previous white sky. The snow just can't make up its mind if it wants to fall or continue to tease us with intermittent showers.

Please don't disrespect a seriously important profession doing a very essential job. It's about probability rather than an exact science, with zillions of different variables. It's one of the main reasons that super computers were developed. Spend some time reading instead of poorly informed comments. www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/in-depth/supercomputers


I just as uppity when people criticise medical professionals, scientist and other experts who have to base their advice on natural systems based on their best interpretation of the evidence "oh they said sugar is bad, then it was fat, then it was salt and now it is alcohol". Trump being one of the main criminals in all of this antiscience rubbish.


In fact this may be pistols as dawn.....

It's not the snow it's our infrastructure - god forbid climate change makes this regular. My weather app shows snow later this week but BBC says it might miss London.


Sky showed Croatia - 6 foot of snow :)

Snowing hard? If you can find an inch in what?s settled good luck.


My initial prediction was spot on. Yes we would get snow, no it wouldn?t be much- and it WILL get milder at the end of the week.


Get a grip East Dulwich, the world has not come to an end!

Oh yes - I've been watching https://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/peckham-rye/se15-5/weather-forecast/323476 recently.


It says "snow starting in 7 minutes" "break in snow in 12 minutes" and the only time it got it right I got caught out in it as I was taking it with a pinch of salt.

      Christmas Cheese!

      By pikeyed · Posted

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!

      I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.

      William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
