Good Lord, my FB reads like the end is nigh. There are going to be 150mph winds and houses are going to fall down dontcha know? Where are people getting this from?!?
haha most people believe any old clap trap. Critical thinking isn't taught too well in schools...
-
Am I alone in being committed to pulling an all-nighter to watch how this system unfolds?
Nah I will too I think. Got a couple of beers I may start on

Any chance they will un-cancel all the trains in SE England if this storm is not as bad as was first thought?I'm more terrified of the crush on the platform in the morning trying to get on a train than the wind to be honest. Current models make this look like a fairly normal windstorm with some gusty winds inland and heavy rain. ...... not exactly a mega storm.
Don't leave until you've checked national rail departures and realtimetrains.com for up to the minute info. Ignore everything else as likely to be wrong or behind the times.
-
If this storm fails to bring the predicted winds and rain rail passengers will be going bonkers with all these cancellations
Pretty much everyone will be having the day off! Very rare for most to be within walking distance of work, and many have no option but trains to get to central London.
-
'breaking news: Southern Trains will not run until the storm has passed. The news just in on Sky News.'
That's not a sign of the weather definitely being awful though. If they run and anything happens their stats look bad and are liable to pay outs. cancel or run an emergency timetable and they don't.
-
Nowt settled in SE London. Hopefully some later. Would make the horrible 5 months of cold (with only one day of decent snow) this winter slightly less annoying.
-
Is anyone finding it quiet out? This weather must be impacting a lot of businesses. I was supposed to go pub but too bloody cold to walk 15 mins to station, wait for train and then do the return later. Staying in in the warm. Seems quite a few people doing similar from what I hear businesses must be hurting.
-
Anything in SE London or yet more cold rain that we seemingly have had for months on end? I've just booked a looong warm holiday next month thankfully. I don't mind cold but only if it ends up with snow, not bloody cold rain.
-
Just picked up a lot at Abbey Wood. Think I may catch a train into central London soon to take some pics. Trains running fine surprisingly!
-
Depends where you are I suppose. I got 2 inches in Feb 09, I've beaten that today
Exactly. Just because many have done well the past couple of years doesn't mean all have. Normally we miss out on anything more than 1cm except feb 2009 which was still less than most. But today is great! Beats almost all snow events of recent years here. I know that as I found my snow pics folder from earlier events on the PC earlier and it tallies with what I remembered.
-
Great stuff. Think we are almost at Feb 2009 levels here in SE London
-
About 2-3cm here in SE London. Very heavy now. Much much better than Friday
This is the most since Feb 2009, and apart from that in 20 years! Wooooo! This is all I ever wanted - just a couple of cm which we normally miss out on. I can't even imagine 10cm!
-
So, Bexley, Bromley, Sidcup, Bromley, Crayford, Orpington and Swanley should fair better on tomorrow's event?
Should do and wouldn't be hard. 1cm would top yesterdays amount.
-
Will this snow heading up get to SE London? Most of the snow earlier from the west degraded a lot about 5-10 miles west of here, and I hope snow heading to kent doesn't skim by 10 miles to the east.
-
The BBC morning forecast was spot on. The band died away around the Greenwich meridian line with areas east getting barely anything and progressively more going west and south.
That means Peter (if this doesn't say cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) Cockrofts forecast of not much snow in recent days was spot on for many.
-
Why do people seriously want snow? Isn't the Uk economy in a messed up state as it is? Another few days/week and things will be a lot worse!
1 cm here.
Cos it's fun! The UK economy is way too messed up with structural problems for a bit of snow to make much difference long term.
-
Stopped now in Bexley. Total of 1cm. Not great.
-
To all those without snow, to be fair, you guys have the lions share with easterlies and north easterlies. Have woken up on numerous times to a dusting when you guys are shovelling your way out of a good dumping.
How much you got in Forest Hill? in Bexleyheath there's only 1cm. Don't do too well with easterlies either as mostly dies out over Kent.
-
Still just 0.2cm in outer Se London near Kent get a move on!
-
Is there anyone in the Bexley area that could kindly provide me with a report please. I work in the City and I need to make a judgement call on whether to leave now and work at home for the rest of the day. Thanking you in advance.
I'm nearby. Not much at all right now. Looking on the radar just about everywhere else has had more including central London. Not sure how long that will last with some orange bands moving west.
-
About 2mm here in SE London. When people say cm do they really mean mm? The rest of the world always seems to have more whenever I read snowfall totals and I'm wondering if people are exaggerating?
-
Still very light in SE London. Lighter on radar than rest of London keeping up its proud tradition.
-
Like I said yesterday (if this doesn't say (if this doesn't say cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) Cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) (if this doesn't say cockroft when referring to a bbc forecaster, I have maturity issues) Cockcroft always backtracks at the last minute if its on
Maybe he doesn't like giving false hopes when it comes to snow
We would all be slating him if he ramped last Monday
It works both ways
And he did predict quite a bit of snow in December which didn't happen at all so he isn't always pushing mild weather.
-
Going to be a very busy day for the Government tomorrow, I've heard whispers that a COBRA meeting may be called due to the bad weather, on top of what's unfolding in Algeria.
Can already see the excuses for when the country is back into recession!

Can here the wind now in south London. Nothing amazing rain or wind wise so far. I was woken up by the wind one night last week that was much louder that lasted a good 20 minutes. See if this can match that.
