So reading between the lines of the latest METO warnings. Snow possible from Saturday morning through until late Sunday. Saturday day perhaps more patchy in nature and the sun could prevent decent accumulations. But Saturday night and through Sunday perhaps the best chance of accumulating snow through shower trains and perhaps a more organised band nudging up from France. Nice!

Has the forecast dramatically changed?,thought this place would be buzzing,return of the beast,bring it on,hopefully i'll do better than last time,its going to be fun regardless

Probably because its so warm, many dont even look here when its warm so they may not be aware of the weather turning till later today or tomorrow when the media and forecasts on tv start really talking about it.

The beast @no-2 is preety much set in stone now as we move into the weekend.

Yellow warnings have become extensive for geographical mass!!..

And the upping to amber in certain parts is looking very likely as we get to saturday.

A quicker.....yet more potent beast.

In terms- of snow at least!!!

Nice morning here with plenty of hazy sunshine and a mild 12C, but that SE’ly wind is pretty gusty. Looks like our region is best (or worst, depending on preferences) placed to see some snow this weekend. Unless that high sinks too far south, still time for that to happen. 

My pepper and chilli plants are doing well under my new toy (Grow Light Garden by Garland) ???

Could be a lot of snow around by Sunday morning according to this, in fact thats 20cm just south of London, x1.5 for any altitude is potentially at least a foot of snow. So you never know by Sunday evening a foot of snow in Trafalgar Square might not be all that silly after all.:crazy:

Just how exactly does all the snow manage to avoid the ToD like that?

Really impressed with mine! Easy to set up, very useful pamphlet included which gives advice and tips. Basically, the smaller the plants, the closer the light needs to be and the light hood moves up and down to suit. I put the unit in a warm room which the chillis and peppers like. Have put the lights on a timer so don’t need to worry about switching on and off, they come on at 9am and off at 8pm. Hope it works great for you, too. What will you be growing?

Thanks for that, not sure yet, my wife will be using it, it’s arrived and looks good.  Could be useful for fresh herbs.

Well its your profile pic sb that gives the game away, that hoodie, scruffy Goat-ee and a naughty smile that's obviously been up to something illicit. And what's that I see behind you there, could that be one of them giant bong things that were being imported from Morocco back in the 70's, flower power and all that? In fact I bet that what you had going on in your "allotment" in the quiet Surrey suburbia was on an industrial scale, I mean look at the size of them flames coming out of the top of that thing. :wink::rofl:

Supposedly taking part in the Adidas City Run in Fulham on Sunday, they are saying they are monitoring the weather, but now with the yellow warning for Saturday and Sunday, what is the likeliness of them pulling the plug before the weekend? 

I'm sure the health and safety people are a little concerned right now!

Indeed, Met Office are smelling the coffee, I think that there are going to be a few surprises over the weekend that will create chaos. I'm thinking along the lines of Feb 09 but with higher snow totals possible too.

Although we have a shorter window for convection and snow potential than we did a couple of weeks ago, it’s important to remember that in Feb 09 some of us saw a huge amount of snowfall in only about a 12 hour period. 

So while this is looking like a relatively short cold spell, some parts of the region could see a lot of snow.
