Lol Small World

I worked for Natwest back then at Kings X House and we were sent home at Midday on that Thursday, maybe it was a group idea to send home all the employees

Small World eh

I can't speak for what birds are flying east, but probably allsorts, as we seem to have lost lots recently from here. Been really quite a few around till this week.

Is it my imagination, or are the birds particularly vocal today? I've also heard quite a few seagulls overhead..... maybe I'm just looking for portents!

Amber Warning - BOOM

yep some of us at Natwest that travelled by trains were sent home as we were based in aldgate east - leaving us that lived in inner london to work the shift out . Never forget the work home not seeing so much snow since Jan 87 and the biting winds

Remember making giant swiss rolls out of the snow with friends in our local park near Brentwood. It just kept coming. We were ten years old and couldn't believe what we were seeing.

We lived at the top of a steep hill near the A12, and the footpaths were shovelled clear as the snow was so deep - impossible to differentiate between the road, the pavement, and people's driveways. Either side of the cleared areas the snow almost reached my waist.

Was the start of my love for big snow events and extreme weather in general.

Yay I am under the amber warning!!!

I think we can gladly wave goodbye to our approaching 3 years snowless spell come Sunday!  @Southender will be pleased too!

I noticed this late yesterday, maybe a reaction to the longer days creeping in? 
Or they’ve seen the Meto update

[Number 23]

Ooh - I'm within a gnat's chuff of the amber area.

Expect more updates though!

We are golden (well orange)! Been a long train coming this! 
 

I think in this set up lots of the region will be getting involved at some point so I’m expecting more of these warnings to go out

But remember a warning of any sort sometimes does not occur in practice.  It is a considered guesstimate of what might happen (or not) 

[Lampostwatcher]

Great see to amber warnings

I bet if it does appear I will be about 5 miles outside of the warning zone. 

@jamesgold I was pretty close. Amber issued, its 10 or so miles away. 

[LightningLover]

Would be nice if East Sussex could be placed in an amber warning, but I feel happy that we’re in a yellow regardless!

We are just outside it too, but our town usually does very well from this sort of set-up..... and it's early days!

mm I have no idea what weather i will get in the next few days. 

 

Yeah very difficult to call for these parts at the moment. We're right where I wouldn't want us to be which is on the edge of the yellow warning area - I suspect the immediate northern-western edge of the yellow warning area will do least well overall in this region as they miss out on the bulk of the frontal precipitation and then get prevented from benefitting from any showery activity for at least 24 hours thereafter.

This thing is still moving around a fair bit so scope for some movement of probably 30-50 miles in any one direction, the trend has been further South and East over the last 24 hours or so though it must be said.

Very glad that some of the folks further East in the region who have had a bit of a naff time of it so far this winter look set to cash in big time here
