    Could be very Windy up here starting tomorrow. All the talk is of course Storm Eunice. As the south is more densely populated. I remember the storm of '87. It was horrible. Living in Epping forest, the sounds of all the Trees falling was pretty scary tbh. Then in '90 we had a daytime storm that actually lifted the front of my Car up whilst waiting at a roundabout. I now hate high winds. The damage they can do is awful. Stay safe everyone.

    Light Snow here. We are not much above sea level here. Unlike my London home, which was a surprising 75mtrs above sea level.

    I had to do a short course on our Weather in the 70s, whilst plotting Flying routes for small Aircraft. I was told by a kindly chap at the Met Office that our Weather was very hard to predict due to our position. Thank you for pointing this out, I had almost forgotten.

    I was 16 in '76. Had just started my first job behind Canada house in Trafalgar square. We had Flexi time, so you could do 8-4 or 10-6. I would get up at 6 to be in for 8. Sometimes take 2hrs for lunch to sit in St James park to top up the tan. When it got too hot we would go to the pub before getting on the tube around 10. The heat was unreal. But we did get used to it! Looking back, it was a wonderful Summer.

    Thought I would pop into my new "local" thread to say Hi. Have been a member for many years, but until Feb lived in Greater London north east. Although members of the family have been up here for years, I haven't seen much Snow on visits for over 10yrs. The last time we had to dig out the Cars was not much fun to be honest. Let's hope we all have a good Christmas and a bit of the White stuff would be lovely for the kids. Cheers. Carolyn x

    I like watching Snow! I moved up here as my kids are here. Was in the next village to me last night when it began to Snow. Luckily I had put new tyres on the Car last week. No more Slicks for me. It's so pretty up here and people are so friendly. In my old area, if you tried to start a conversation at a bus stop they would look at you as if you were mad. All in all, so glad I made the move. Sure you will too. X

    I am also a newbie to Yorkshire and from Essex. I moved last March. Oddly enough until this weekend I haven't found the weather any different to down "Saaf". Have now though. Lol Congrats on the move. Carolyn x

    Irony, it's ironic sometimes isn't it? Lol

    If my English Teacher had seen that, it would have been roundly ridiculed. I suspect the "Text" Generation, they have no idea how to write coherently.

    Well, this will be the last "Snowfest" I will be watching from my current location. Moving to North Yorkshire in a couple of weeks. I remember so many great Snow Storms over the years. My favourite being the one where it hammered down with rain all evening, then woke up to 6 inches of Snow. The only person to correctly forecast it was Francis Wilson on Thames TV Local News. That was early '80s. The Thundersnow event in 2004 was when I joined here I think. I will pop in here, after all I have lived here all my life and have very much enjoyed our local forecasters on Netweather. Love to all xx

    It sometimes dissipates before it hits the ground, esp when very light.

    So, lots of Weather then!
  13. cj114
    Yes, we are in a bare spot right now. Before the main band. Will wait until then and see what happens! Good luck all xx

    Snow is falling in Woodford Green! We are a surprising 162 asl though.

    Epping new road is never gritted! The council would rather pay out for accidents than grit.

    Met have really mucked up. Hope my neighbours enjoy my patio furniture. It's metal too!!! Thumps and banging...................I hate Winds, since '87............scared me half to death.
  17. cj114
    Yup. Very much too late. I was not expecting this either.Just outside the zone area. Thank god it's not bin night..........................

    A surprising 72mph gusts here. Not been this worried since '87 and 90!!

    Snow here briefly, 25 mins ago. still have a light covering on grass and shed. I didn't think it would be cold enough to settle.

    I'll be at work then when finished will try to get home, all those Tree's along the route are making me reconsider my way home. Assuming something hasn't hit the Car whilst I am working. Then I get to drive to Leeds in the Morning, returning on Friday when the next storm is due. Merry Christmas everyone.

    A Gnome? But that is devastating! Lol. Clearly I am on the wrong side of London as the Wind has been shaking the House for hours.

    You really have never heard of him? or the Rifle? The Kalashnikov has been used as a weapon of choice all over the World. Oh well, back to the Weather, there is a bit of it around.
  23. cj114
    Oh, for crying out loud!! I am at work then!
  24. cj114
