The beast is back!

But its a feline cat in terms of depth of cold compared to this morning GFS run.. We might be able to squeeze a few wet flakes out of it.

That's how they behave if you don't castrate them..

I prefer cats (once they're castrated) My parents have a cat and she's quite touchy feely with me - as soon as I sit down, she'll jump on me rubbing up on me and start clawing my clothes.

Haha, he was castrated! He was a big personality, a Bengal cross, never stopped talking. Are boy cats meant to be more cuddly than girls?

Cats are great 

ECM delivers a significant cold spell for the SE would be snowy, much talk about it always being in FI well it’s all set up for this well before. I actually would say, there’s a greater chance of it being right.

Each to their own mate ?

i prefer our indigenous wildlife. 

That’s fair enough, I love our wildlife too. As a cat lover, I do try to look after the birds here over the colder months so they are not hungry. I don’t like cats killing anything, apart from rats!

I hate rats, one bit my bulldogs nose in park and wouldn't let go...vermin...problem is my bulldog just trotted along as if nothing happened!!...also love cats they drop rats at your feet as presents.

Apparently Harrow has the worst Rat problem in London...Lassie told us.

Poor Lassie, I hope his local council can sort the problem? Was your dog ok after the rat bite?!

My late cat was a fabulous rat killer. He’d bring one in every few weeks as a ‘gift’, some were massive. Had to keep him in for 3 weeks after an op....no chance, within 4 days he was smashing the house up, knocking everything off shelves, bookcases, etc. So had to let him out. He came back though and was the most loyal, chatty and cuddly pet I’ve ever had. All my friends and family just loved him. I still miss him, 4 years on.

Hope the 3 legged cat is ok.

my cat is very loyal too

I'm not one to ramp but i think the thames will freeze over, but frost fairs will be impossible due to two feet of snow

[Dami]

more piggin' chance for us to get a kitten than it is to snow here.

There would be no marginality all snow to sea level so I have no idea what you’re seeing.

[Coopsy]

I would love more than anything to get another ‘87 or ‘91 but all I’m seeing is cold but prob SE dry ish set up. I really hope I’m wrong

It looks that way initially with maybe odd snow flurry. Met Office take has not changed at all:

Temperatures will turn colder for most by the end of the week, with wind from the east or southeast. The cold weather will be mainly dry initially with a chance of snow flurries in the east/southeast. Over next weekend and following week there is an increase chance of snow for many, especially in the south and east
