Snow & Cold Spell General Discussion Part 6

[PersianPaladin]

Tonight in Dublin for me is a big let down after being led on so to speak...

Its kinda like you are in a bar and when you first arrive to get a drink, a cracking looking blonde smiles over at you (lets say, FI). You have a couple of drinks and exchange a few more nods and smiles at the blonde (moving into the more reliable timeframe)...

[snip for forum space]

Hahahaah......funny analogy there.

But so true.....

According to BBC forecast it doesn't get as far north as Derby until later and then it'll be dying out - and there was me thinking that Derby was finally going to see some snow.

Oh well, enjoy it down south

LOL I wanna know who has the job everynight to sit there watching that camera and pointing it around in different places

Then again its probably just an automatic cycle its on.

After 2 hours of precip over my head there's a few flakes blowing about in the wind Woohoo lol

[wellington boot]

Fine driving snow here in Oxford adding to what are beginning to be quite nice accumulations. Havent been for a walk about yet, but expect to find a couple of inches when i do.

Temp down at -1.2. dew point something like -1.5 or so.

[SnowJoke]

Holy S**t, check out the 4:00am radar on the MET site. Have you seen that huge area of intense precipitation now leaving france and crossing the channel in a NW direction. Someone is gonna get a blizzard me thinks, possible Kent!

[michesnowsbest]

Alright everyone pick up skis we goin to Steve M village lol

[Planet Stow]

Settling now on the cars and roofs but not on the roads in Leyton, London:(

[echodelta21]

If it's anything like it is here, Mr Murr is certainly not exaggerating! I can still only see 2 lamposts down the road, and everything (including the well gritted roads...congrats Bromley Council) is covered.

Hey thanks for that link, I can pretend I've got snow now

[mackerel sky]

Is all the so-called precipitation on the radar from Nottingham down to the main band, now somewhere around Milton Keynes utter b*llocks?

Nothing has been falling out of the sky here.
