I have yet to see what the public think as I haven't been to see if our shop is out of bread and milk.

I should imagine so. Last year he got sent to check the emergency supplies at one of the depots and it consisted of a high vis vest in size small, a flare and a box of space blankets (with most of them missing)

I think we need some help from Annie Aston to decide where tomorrow's sweet spot will be...

This sote always predicts well when it comes to snow events. It shows just a very little snow Wednesday morning for Brighton. This was the thing I was talking about earlier:

That chart predicts quite a bit more snowfall on the North Norfolk coast than inland.

However much it snows, peeps using Southern Trains won't notice any difference?

Oh we are victims of the South West Trains service.   I imagine the race to be the crappiest Trains service is pretty hot at this time of year

I've heard it could be very localised...this could be the scene in a higher altitude town like Wycombe in the south east if your in the sweet spot!

The bbc London weather didn’t even go past graphics wise past 4oclock tmrw , although they said 1cm to 3cm quite widely . You would think they’d at least have a stab at it .

I missed the 1:30 forecast, I knew the London forecast would be crap as soon as the lady said here is a picture from this morning with not a cloud in the sky despite in the picture it clearly showing some high clouds in the background she then quickly corrected herself , Poor Lass

The national forecast that was updated an hour ago went through to Thursday, although they didn't seem particularly confident still.

Having just come back from Sainsburys, can confirm every single pensioner in Buckinghamshire is currently in there.

Urgh...lots to do tomorrow, wish the forecast would firm up a bit!! Wycombe is a nightmare when it snows. My friend took 5 and a half hours to get from Beaconsfield to High Wycombe last week, about 4 miles. Over capacity A roads and hills everywhere means 3cms and grind the place to a halt.

To be honest, I did the same just in case

Neither must we forget that drivers adopt an 'alternative' Highway Code, the second it starts snowing: tailgating and full-beam-flashing become mandatory - as do feet getting stuck to the accelerator pedal, excessive use of one's middle finger, and random bursts of expletives!

Don’t forget removal of internal circuitry that makes the indicators work - and Lane choice dependant on car manufacturer

I'm highly optimistic. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and possibly Monday? Subject to change of course, but winter is here

I don’t think anyone seems to have a clue where this snow will land. I have just checked the weather warning and the whole of East Sussex and Kent have been upgraded now, I’m in Rye and yesterday and it didn’t cover me at all. Maybe the met office knows something we don’t.

Yes, the snow depth you can see on my daughter's car, is a very good depth for S.E.London!! In fact, it was very unusual for Anerley to receive more snow than Bromley, a few miles to the East. I'm sure that photo was taken in Feb.2009 but I won't upset Paul Sherman again, by asking him to explain why this Thames Streamer, behaved differently!!

Sorry Paul!!  :oops:

Regards,

Tom.   :hi:

Ive browsed now through all the latest charts 

All the 6z

Tuesday im now 90 % confident

London and the southeast wil have at least 2-6 cms snow depth

Favoured areas NW of london 

Watford  st albans could see more

London north of thames  widely at least 2cms with prone spots up to 6cms

Kent and south london 3-5 cms

Very possible 

Thursdsys event atm will also be %80 all snow with maybe 5-10 cms of fresh acumalations
