South East & East Anglia Regional Discussion - January 12th 2013>

[snowy weather]

Jay wynee on BBC NEWS 24 just did a live forecast.

Sunday night: "rain and snow pushing southeast, by the time we get to Monday morning in the SE - it will be ALL SNOW"

"Travel wil become tricky"

Woohoo..... :-)

I hope so in west Sussex it's showing rain on monday. So it's all snow?

[Gary_R_Walker]

Let us know the visiting times Gary

Hopefully it won't come to that, if I can get the Post Box to put a good word in for me I might get off with a caution. Thanks for your concern.

I watched - didnt recall that statement being made re the se. Just watched again. I was right. The charts didnt go far enough to show the snow arriving in the se and it seemed to be starting to lessen in intensity across the midlands. He talked about a tricky rush hour monday morning but this was not referenced for the se. patience required for more concrete information.

I just watched in again. Apologies he didn't say SE but he did say:

"As the band moves into England it will be ALL SNOW"

Watch it again!

[Jezzer]

Sleet here, very light but visible against lamp posts

[pinball wizard]

Well it's cold and dry here! Had a little sleet/snow this am but nothing since! It's gona be a long week of lamp post watching

You'll be bored of it by tuesday

I have to go on a journey from the road I live in to the road 20 metres away on Monday. I'm wondering if the extreme weather might hinder my journey. This will be from North Lowestoft, to another road in North Lowestoft. I will obviously pack the essentials for the trip: Ice pick, Shovel, Sleeping Bag, Scotch, Extra Cigarettes. Do any of the more knowledgeable weather enthusiasts think I should not attempt such a perilous undertaking?

Take the car - leave nothing to chance- this could get tricky - the weatherman said so. Good Luck, no one else is going out

Still raining here in Reigate!

[stainesbloke]

Going to be very marginal for the south east I fear, particulary to the south of London. However, the front could become very slow moving over our region giving a longer period of snow after the blasted warm sector has buggered off.

The latest fax chart shows the warm sector shunted west quite considerably...not much of a warm sector at all tbh, with our region under -4 to -8 850s. Looks better but of course could change. Bit tense!

[Jan_Bromley]

Just watched weatherwise and if I recall correctly it only went as far as Monday lunchtime.

We was at 'the local' if anyone asks, I'll back you up

[Gary_R_Walker]

Don't forget your lighter - as well as lighting your cigs it could come in handy should you need to burn your way out of the drifts.

I always carry a flame thrower as part of my usual attire. In fact that might have been why they sectioned me before.

Met office updated map 15 mins ago. Now going for heavy snow for the London area Mon evening & Tuesday. Further west such as reading i'm afraid its showing heavy rain of course subject to change and hopefully for the western areas. Tuesday evening showing snow showers for the far se however could penetrate inland. Wednesday showing snow showers penetrating further inland this time.

I find the male interpretation of 'essentials' most amusing...

I know Kate, ridiculous. Sleeping bag? For goodness sake, man up Gary!

[Methuselah]

There must be a chance of something coming in off the North Sea, tonight?
