winter watcher

I have been a cold and snow ramper all my life BUT not know more. I have simply had enough off it i work on the railway and over the past few weeks i have never worked harder in all my life. Carrying heavy bags off grit around and spreading it all over, Clearing snow, Slipping on ice, Its been a complete nightmare. I for one am now looking forward to a warm up and no snow down in south west London for a long time to come which there will not be i am sure off that. And god if snow does fall next month or whenever please let it be my day off.

LoL Yes sorry further West

I think the met office should extend their warnings further east because here in Surrey we have had just a tad over 2cms fallen today and that was unexpected. Tonight i think we will see even more snow and a lot heavier.

Really coming down so hard now viability virtually zero huge flakes..

The sky is full off snow here in Morden Surrey been snowing most off the day and getting very heavy now Edit: Huge Blizzard....

Well i have now made up my mind i am sticking with the Sky News Weather and not the bbc No snow was forecasted by the bbc until late this evening. Sky said that we would see snow all be it light from mid day onwards and they was 100% right light snow and high winds. Bit cheesed off that Surrey are going to miss the heavy snow tonight and tomorrow just our luck lol

Yep SM4 thats me mate heavy snow

Where's SNOWBALL the young lady who kept on banging on how we are not going to see any snow LOL i want to make her eat snow.

Have you finally got some now mate?

Kold when do you expect the heavy snow to filter into Wimbledon Sw London mate?

Just started here Wimbledon sw london only snizzle but its a start

Why am i not seeing snow i really do not know i hear its snowing all around me but nothing here it really is frustrating :huh:

Still nothing yet really getting a bad feeling about this missing me now Wimbledon surrey

Snowing all around me and i thought we was in for a hammering If there is any snow what time would it be arriving in sw London anyone please?

Well mate i work in Putney as a train crew and i can insure you i will try me best to get in but if the buses go down before 8am im staying home.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just got home from work yes i know i do start early 5am lol I feel very confident about tonight being south west off London had a fax through from the met office i work for the trains and they said up to 30cm's can be expected across the west off London possibly even more. They also said the threat remains after for very heavy and even prolonged snow to affect this region until Sunday 06:00 hrs where a further fax will be sent.

I think what's going to be very bad is unlike the famous February event where i received up to a foot off snow it took 3 days to completely melt which is not that long. This event will be 100x more severe i could see us eclipsing those totals that i seen back then but the main thing is that it is not going to thaw at all for a good while. You think Wednesday snow and Thursday snow by then we could well see half a metre and by Friday Armageddon strikes and bingo there's over a foot off snow going nowhere. I have been also having a good chat with BFTP and he says also we could well see a pasting down here from the 14th too the 20th worth baring in mind.

I thought the big day was Friday going by the brilliant forecast this morning? Any idea after the main event what will follow maybe heavy snow showers?

Ok firstly i disagree with all above The lp system to our sw would not have brought a foot off snow to us western areas may have had a shout off something decent but just rain for your and my area. Secondly if you are after cold and snowy weather than its a blessing that the lp system did not approach our shores. And finally you say we are already in the event low temps last night i had a hour off light snow just after the midnight cant be bad can it? All i am saying is to take my advice and listen to the more experienced people who has been there done that and got the shirt and atm they are very exited and so should you be as well. Happy new year to you

Yes Geordie it looks like the high setting up for most off the uk but not for all for me on a personal note we could see a lot off snow in the se if the chart comes off all in all stunning output across the board today last night expected nothing looked out after midnight and we had light snow for around a hour and a light cover this morning.

Thanks Steve very much really do appreciate a response back. Happy new year to you mate and what a new years present it is to see these MEGA DREAM charts

Steve what chances would you rate the gfs and the ukmo being on the money? Because up to now i thought both models was being over progressive and inconstant a few members kept saying stick with the ECM AND GEM

What's all the talk and utter nonsense being made from a few posters about 'Bad run no snow' OR 'To Dry' Fair enough if your a very new member than you should be forgiven but i have seen more experienced posters saying these sort off things and it gets on me nerves to be frank if you use your loaf's and think right what are we looking at here 'Ok Two to three weeks possibly longer off very cold temps' Also 'As John said earlier 95% off the country are likely to see some snow before its over with don't know how much or what day or time but it will come' And something young folk has not seen in all there life i,e Severe Cold Weather and not just a two day event. Come on all its new years eve a time to be happy and a time to celebrate and not time to be getting angry over model runs which has virtually no chance off predicting and pin pointing snow 24-48 hours out let alone 2-3 weeks. Happy new year to all and truly hope you all have a safe and stress free beginning to 2010

I thought Southern And Eastern areas John would be perfectly set up for connective snow with the wind direction obviously not very surprised and confused :lol:
