That site is VERY VERY unreliable , take note. Not just saying this but same was said on two by others

[BarnetBlizzard]

definite North/South movement according to this > http://www.meteox.co...ar=-3&soort=exp

That is the meteox radar trying to predict where it will go. But in the past i have found it is unrealiable. I tend to look at a live radar or bbc normally get it right.

I was wrapped up, but I certainly wasn't warm. The temperature here has dropped like a stone.

to quote another member "you could cut glass with my nipples!" ;)

well lets hope tomorrows walk is in a more snowy than cold state

Quote from North East thread

This is the heavliest snow I have seen since FEB 1991

If the intensity of the band can be kept up as it comes south, and the north sea can maybe intensify it a little bit aswell, it will be a very interesting night ahead of us

[Neilsouth]

What time are we looking at for the south east? , not sure if i should stay up

[angel23]

agree, but this is still showing North/South > http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/radar/index.html and if your confidence wants boosting you could always try Netweather Extra's Radar. it updates every 5 minutes

Hate to be a spoil sport but I could do without snow as I have a lot of deliveries to make tomorrow.

[nwales]

Pesky cloud cover has sent my temperature from -4.6 to -3.7 grrr

0233 :)

perhaps keep an eye on the radar sites and try to guesstimate the speed at which the front is moving. it's what i am doing

[Ben_Cambs]

Maybe 2am ish for Kent

Probably sometime around midnight- 1am

Been a quiet day here with temp a high of -1.3c currently -4.3c with a dew point of -5.6 . . . clouds starting to appear not sure if its just high thin clouds as day light is fading but cannot see anything on the radar to suggest anything likely to fall any time soon.

yeah, i am up for another 12 hour shift at 0430 tomorrow, so although i love the snow i am not convinced i will get to work for 7 in the morning tomorrow. london transport is dire when it gets bad weather. although i suppose the guys driving the buses have the same problems of getting into work as anyone else

maybe some showers developing before the main band? looks like there are some developing by the looks on the radar!

Where?

p.s i don't like the look of the direction of this front(the more intense side)

[MAF]
