In the meantime East Herts councils are advising residents that it may be a good idea to carry an umbrella with them if going out on sunday.....just in case!

Hilarious. And terrifically British.

Bit of a slap in the face from Rob McElwee. Talked about the snow being in a very specific area - east Essex, most of Kent, East Sussex - and only just about grazing SE London. Sunday didnt look all that great. Very light snow it seemed. This could be a very localised event. Not widespread according to the latest forecast.

I live for the day when a front moving west bring snow stalls over the Herts Essex border and leaves you guys with nothing but flakes while we get snow measured in feet rather than inches.

Mark my words....one day....one day... :drinks:

If you dream it may well happen one day......:whistling:

Hi,

It would have been better to have one for EA and one for the SE, but hey-ho it makes for more reading, lol.

More reading... you're not wrong there..! folk in Norfolk, suffolk, Essex, Herts Beds Bucks and North London.... maybe it's just easier to have just one forum for KENT and another for the rest of the world :drinks: ....only untill the wind changes... which could be some time:cold:

just started snowing big slowly floating flakes here in Welwyn Herts, hardly any wind and very pretty fall past my lampost. minus 2.5 degrees too

stop dissing the SEterners lol we can't help it if nature is smiling on us. But i have to say my son is due to start his a level exams on Monday and i would like him to do them so i have good reasons not to want the snow. At least all those in Norfolk and other places moaning about the lack of heavy snow will not have that problem if you have children due to take exams next week too so be glad and spare a thought for us. :drinks:

I'm sorry but if you are talking about the City itself, I find 2 1/2 or 3" rather hard to believe

I live in snowless St Ives and work in Cambridge, definitely lots more snow in Cambridge

Not sure about 3", but probably a couple and more now by the looks of the latest radar

They can't make up the minds just like Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternnon was forecasted for the SE. :drinks:

Hi,

Hi how can we go about requesting a seperate thread for the two?

The number of posts makes it very hard to find comments that are relevant to my area.

Do you mean the City itself or the surrounds? I went to friends in Cambridge for a NYE party and I left our house out in the sticks just after a fresh fall of snow and well below zero icing up, but when I got to Cambridge it was a) snowless and b about 3 degrees due to the urban heat island.

You may have benefited from the Wash streamer in some way, although I've not noticed that much reaching Cambridge (and trust me, I've spent at least a couple of nights radar watching and I'm only 22 miles away). I'm sorry but if you are talking about the City itself, I find 2 1/2 or 3" rather hard to believe.

Last night I had to go out and drive to prove to myself two people on this forum who were 1-2 miles away from me weren't lying! I had no flakes, they had best part of an inch drop in an hour so I can believe anything now! The edge of the snow fall was so defined it was weird.

BBC online local 5 day has my area down for light snow sunday and grey cloud monday.

Hoddesdon weather

Not really worth getting my hopes up... In fact it's in line with what I fear..

The thing is this...If the BBC play down the expectations and it turns into a newsworthy event, they will get criticised.

If they hype the event and it doesn't really happen, there will be no news about it and thus no criticism heard of them in the media.

It's really win win for them to hype it up.

Those are computer generated and not worth taking any notice of.

I need to be in Norfolk by Monday to recommence University (you'd understand as you have a child starting on Monday again at Canterbury). I am seriously not going to make it with the state of the roads as they are currently.

Looks like I am going to miss a week of lectures at UEA, and don't forget I still have to pay for them even if I'm not there thanks to the Government loans these days... :blush:

Snowing lightly here :)
