…..and to think they called me crazy when i built that fallout shelter under the garden!

Where you getiing that info? Last I saw was 'light snowfall'

Where you getiing that info? Last I saw was 'light snowfall'

"High risk of severe weather affecting Kent, East Sussex and eastern parts of West Sussex. Outbreaks of snow starting on Saturday afternoon will become heavy and persistent during the evening and last into Sunday morning. Seven to 12cm of fresh level snow is expected widely with 10 to 20cm locally. Drifting in the very strong winds will cause even greater accumulations in place"

from bbc.

Met Office are saying more snow, yes, but nothing like Tuesday night at the minute.

That could still change though of course!

I imagine it will only be a small area that gets it. Have not had any more snow, apart from the odd flake, here in P'boro for a while now.

OMFG SNOW!!! AR$GGGHHH SNOWWW!!!! WTF, EPIC SNOW, OH JEBUS!!! QUICK, SEND A PHOTO INTO THE BBC!!!

That's no more than half what was predicted for Tuesday. Panic over. 😉

nicko74 – walk away from the mbukeriser now.

OP FAIL.

SNOWPOCALYPSE

12cm? Bless 🙂

But seriously, come on. Yay, snow. Surely this isn't news any more – 'news' would tend to indicate that it is a new development (and the level of press coverage would indicate that it's a entirely new development, like a new form of matter). There's snow, it's making things tricky, unfortunately most of us still have to get on with our work.

It's this afternoon & tomorrow for us – NE

'Southeast gets a bit of snow and world falls apart' shocker

It's this afternoon & tomorrow for us – NE

Already hit Teesside apparently, and there have been flakes reported at Moron Park. Still none here though.

It'll just sit on top of the ice and snow we have already though.

newcastle is a lovely sunny winters afternoon at the moment…

The BBC are desperate for some sort of apocalyptic catastrophe though, they always are.
OMG, more snow!! Batten down the hatches, panic buy everything at the supermarket, don't travel or if you do, pack full arctic survival gear.

Still ,off to the Lecht tomorrow.Scotland is supposed to have best skiing Europe just now, and the worst lifts in the world…….

On Monday the forecast was for snow showers overnight in Harrogate. We had some of the heaviest snow in the UK (8 inches by Tuesday morning). I tend not to really believe what they say.

Moron park. hehe

Moron park. hehe

Oops 🙂

Morton Park 🙂

T'other night I went to Huddersfield from Manchester on the M60/M62 (I checked the traffic cameras first) and both ways the motorway was virtually empty. I actually thought the traffic cameras were lying ….they werent!

Hora – how do you check traffic cameras?

What website?

Quote from: some numpty on the bbc have your say

I usually turn up late to work anyway but with the snow today I was naturally later. Stuck in a traffic jam I phoned (using hands free) my boss and told him it was because of the snow and I told him that is the traffic was so bad I was thinking about going home. He then told me that if i didn't go into work today then I shouldn't bother coming in on monday. Now i have a 5 day weekend Woohooo….

Have you not seen that documentary called The Day After Tomorrow?

None up here in North Northumberland but chuffing cold.

Do tinned gods come in all flavours?

Do tinned gods come in all flavours?

yep, Roman, English, Asian, Greek, etc

As i'm an atheist i'll just buy beans 😀

We already had about 20cm of snow, is another load on top of that going to make a real difference? 20cm of snow will bring the country to a stand still but 25cm of snow will bring snowmageddon?

Anyway, got to go panic buy everything tinned from Sainsbury.

We did get some in the end last night, another 2" or so.

Sweet!

We've had some overnight, more this morning, and forecast for tomorrow has changed from sleet to heavy snow 🙂

(Just north of Nottingham)

the slow, agonizing and daytime TV free icy death of the human race has begun! I for one welcome our unique crystalline overlords.

Bad snow here in NI, something to do with Iris Robinson taking her knickers down!
