At least the ground is dry currently  

Look how the precipitation turns to Snow when it hits North Eastern France!

So not only do those Frenchies steal all our Storms they are now taking monopoly of our Snow

I can see a really good positive about our views this afternoon in this thread and that's that nobody is getting carried away and we have plenty time & room to be surprised....history would tell us this view of things is usually the most rewarding. 

 

 

We are all here but some of us are on warnings or bans etc........ I shall watch the lamp post again me thinks

[South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 2nd February onwards]

An extremely light dusting here but seriously cold with it

[South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 2nd February onwards]

I shall wait until the lamp post tells me...... far far to marginal to get excited me thinks....... but I have been proved wrong on the odd  very rare occasion.

Spanning from 11th to the 21st snowfall cumulative accumulations. I follow someone on Twitter who has access to those charts, not of the public domain unfortunately. 

Who you follow on twitter that has those charts.... I am on twitter also!!!

Very nice sunny day outside but still a bit chilly!!

Looks extremely marginal for any precipitation for me, but could do without it Sunday as I am out playing Golf

I hope not this year we had a bumper crop and my Sloe Vodka was a nice treat at Christmas

I take it back..... getting very menacing out to the west of me which is obviously what Surrey you are under I presume?

[South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 2nd February onwards]

Surrey my god that looks insane...... !!!

Its still nice and clear in Sunny Essex

Just seen those charts and think mainly the South West will be affected but if that took a shift north a touch then ...... ramps and gfuqhgfpjhing will start again 

[South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 2nd February onwards]

So this bright orange thing in the sky is still here............ heard it was called the sun ...... I can almost believe its a spring day

Where we live we have Blackthorn Bushes in Bloom already and have been for about a week now!!!

Cloud clearing to blue skies and sunshine here, a W-NW wind had picked up making it feel chilly at 6C. Looks like France is being hit by strong winds today, Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris recording thunderstorms and 63mph gusts, ouch!

Thunderstorms................... that's it..... blankets, dummy and toys all thrown out of the pram 

Turning into quite a nice day here Sun is just popping its head out to say hello 

[South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 2nd February onwards]

All very grey and dry here ..... wind has died down and its all calm at the moment!!

Will be keeping an eye again on the models to see if we can get some snow in Essex???

So saying it could get close to being as bad as 1987 is not comparing to 1987?

Is it just me?

Jesus you are like a Dog with a bone...... let it go will you...... we are all trying to enjoy this weather event your bikering is just making it worse!!!!

If we get an event like 1987 then WOW what a talking point it will be .... I remember it so if that happens during daylight hours then hope everybody is safe!!!!

If it doesn't then where is the harm ........ just leave it

Here in Colchester mad gusts.

just wondering when will be the peak of the storm for my area?

I think looking at previous models and I am sure Surrey will confirm we are expected to get the peak between 3pm-6pm

Well I've been keeping a very close eye on this thread and, aside from the occasional optimistic wind-lover, everyone appears to have been on-message about the strength of this storm and where the worst areas would be. 

This afternoon's rush-hour was always forecast to be the worst of the two. Perhaps using your expertise you could challenge all of these errant posters you speak about with your own forecast of the situation? Then you can manage your own expectations and those of others instead of getting in a huff because you believed what you read without question and are now disappointed. 

Worth also pointing out that here on the coast in Essex we've already lost our train service to this storm and it's not progged to peak for another 3 hours. So for us it is bad already. 

Only thing i will say about the local Clacton line is that we all know Greater Anglia will pull any service at a breath of wind or a slight snow event 

Everybody will feel the affects differently so why all the moaning lads & lasses........ its a weather event lets embrace it, enjoy it and talk about it.... not gfuqhgfpjh... we are becoming the Model thread
