  1. Just hope it is a dusting wednesday, anything over an inch and heathrow will be shut without doubt on Thursday, very nervous now
  2. Heathrow cancels hundreds of flights with a mere dusting it is natural to be edgy about forthcoming troughs as troughs can dump several inches of snow
  3. Thanks, I think a few people will be breathing a sigh of relief if it happens From 15th onwards I want 2ft of snow with 3ft drifts and thundersnow but badly want no settling snow on 7th
  4. Definitely taking a camp bed with me Thursday morning after those charts, Heathrow will be at a standstill,
  5. Those blizzards through the spine of England on Thursday on NAE john postec look very ominous, certainly heathrow will be closed, just hope that downgrades
  6. I just saw the results when heathrow cancelled flights last time etc, people having to sleep on terminal floors, I have a flexible ticket and am staying with a relative out there so have been thinking whether I should change the date as am scared Heathrow will close or cancel flights
  7. Starting to get really really scared about the 7th now John knows his onions, really starting to think I should postpone my holiday
  8. As long as there is no heavy snow on the 6th or before 14.00 on the 7th, Heathrow closes even when there is a dusting
  9. Pretty safe to say heathrow will be closed due to deep snow on the 7th then Looking forward to spending night of 7th camped on a terminal floor
  10. Dew points must be dropping, a wintry mix right now, can't be long before becomes proper snow Hoping for 3 or 4 inches here tonight
  11. Unless there is a remarkable turnaround the NAE has been as useful as a chocolate teapot today, called the event totally wrong in the midlands and the south / south east
  12. I never said our region would get a foot of snow, I referred to Yorkshire and Derbyshire etc With the right dew points I can see 4-6" in the sweet spots in our region but depends on dew points
  13. The intensity of the precip and the speed in which the front moves Can easily see the Peak District, Dales, Moors etc getting 2ft of lying snow from this before the thaw
  14. Not here it won't but higher parts of Yorkshire and areas like higher ground in Shropshire and derbyshire I can see getting 20in
  15. Prediction for this event Kent - up to 5cm East Sussex - up to 5cm Central London - 2cm South Essex - up to 5 cm Greater London (Croydon / Wimbledon etc) - up to 10cm Downs (Banstead area) - up to 15cm Herts / Bucks / Beds / north Essex - up to 20cm Shropshire / E Mids - up to 40cm Yorkshire - up to 50cm
  16. Could be some record breaking totals for some parts outside of the SE Some of the precip is 96mm an hour which if converted into cm could give some historic totals if it maintains intensity Think the midlands and Yorkshire for example could get 2-3ft out of this
  17. 4 inches in Croydon is a bit optimistic I agree by it depends how much this band intensifies, if it weakens will be lucky to get a covering but if it intensifies and the dew points are favourable never know. But I am more confident tbh, only yesterday all the talk was snow to rain but now most of the country is going to be a snow only event so it's a fast moving situation
  18. The NAE is the only one worth taking seriously with now casts, time and time again this cold spell they have proven to be the form horse so I fully expect what the NAE say will turn out to be more reliable than the others
  19. Looks like a good foot or more for the North, e midlands, wash, Shropshire etc, not too excited about down here, think the band will have weakened so am expecting no more than about 4 inches with possibly 6 or 7 over the downs
  20. Looks like the NW radar is down At 16.40 looked like a band of heavy snow was entering the estuary, now all gone from the radar, clearly all that can't disappear in 10 mins
