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...


otto the friendly snow-fan

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!

Yep that's what I saw too.. Highly doubt there will be enough for a snow day though..

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


UK regions:

60% East of England

60% South West England

60% London & South East England

60% East Midlands


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


Met Office

PERHAPS THE FIRST ONES TO HEAD FOR THE EARLY TRAINS TOMORROW (friday) CAN POST ON HERE THEIR SUCCESSES IF THEY MANAGE TO GET ON THE TRAINS FIRST THING.


LOADS OF PHONES ALLOW THAT EMAIL THINGY THESE DAYS DONT THEY.


THEN US WHO GET LATER TRAINS CAN CHECK THE EDF WEBSITE FOR THE REPORTS - MORE RELIABLE PERHAPS THAN RAIL WEBSITES !


KK

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....

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
