I panic bought 4 bottles of wine today - does that count

I've been thinking of nothing else for weeks :lol:

I think they have, just a warning for the special bits of kent, then all green for mon-wed for us

Thanks Steve, and Paul for telling it like it is. I can now switch off the light, close the curtains and try to find something else to do. It like something has died... I trust what you are saying and as one of those foolishly hoping for change, I finally can't see it coming. Time to start talking to the BF again...or any films on tonight?

Essential viewing - better than the TV :lol:

This cold spell is costing me a fortune in electricity - no, not the heating - the 500w floodlight in the garden on permanent snow watch

Ah yes, the mysterious easterly - always a day away. I was just daydreaming of what would have happened if the wind had changed

Hi, I don't know what it is supposed to be but mine is always 15 mins behind and I don't always have exactly whats showing. I think someone else mentioned yesterday a delay between what you see and what you get

Very light snow here now, just like the radar shows but about half an hour later. Sometimes it is hard to see if it is not just blowing in the wind, but the front lamppost says it is the real thing

Hey, that gives me some hope, probably mean some constant lamppost watching tonight then (reports of light snow now coming in from the kitchen window)

I think you exagerate HP, not a couple of inches - maybe 2cm at a push - with a stretchy ruler. I feel I have as much right to moan as anyone else her in my position - am not the only one - and as you can see my post is not all moaning as I have car, can travel...off out again to Kent tomorrow by the looks of it...

Good Evening everybody. Due to the pathetic covering snow here in South London I ventured out to Oxted and Westerham to get a taste of real snow. And fabulous it was. We started off with a little sledging in Purley then drove out to Oxted - getting lost in Westerham on the way. Proper snow was falling, gently covering the roads, blowing across fields smoothed with days of snow and ended up trying out all the available ales in a fantastic pub - the Royal Oak in Staffhurst Wood watching it snow from a cosy bar. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Sadly I had to come home, and although it was snowing lightly giving a slight covering to Wednesdays snow, I find, as I excitedly returned to the forum/radar, that it is perhaps all over bar the whining. No Met Office warning update, a bit of light precip, and everyone bemoaning the last of intensity Can anyone help me out with a more positive forecast? Where is the easterly? Frist New Year, then Saturday - then sunday - now monday....

Yes that band does look very nice atm, and heading our way for a change. Hope it maintains that momentum

Morning, lots of little showers here at the moment, even when the sun is out - very pretty but not as much as we would like huh? friends in N Spain are telling me about the snow there - unusual for them. I'm off for a drive SEwards to see what I can find...

You have my sympathy, I know just how you are feeling

I'm in for a light snow shower in about half an hour according to that, can't see it on the radar but am prepared to wait up

Well the Met Office invent gives me snowfall from 3-6am, can anyone tell me if it is worth setting to alarm clock, or is that "yesterdays news" as the winds don't look like turning east now?

That's good news, I'm saving myself for the 10 o clock news forecast

Yep, you'd never say Croydon or Sutton, London would you?

We can only hope this will mean another upgrade - everyone seems so unsure

Snow to the left of me snow to the right, stuck in the middle with nought

Can anyone tell me where the Eastern promise is - it has been talked about since New year but is yet to materialise. When will the wind change?

Nah - Croydon is in Surrey, but like Sutton it is a greater london borough, I hope the snow knows this when Surrey is due a blizzard

very happy for you Neil, you wanted this so bad, hope it will happen to me if I wish as hard as you did

Glad to see we keep the part 45!
