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.....

Maybe you should out your window now. It's snowing hard.

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.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
